Remembering The Good Times
Barack Obama’s 11/10 IA J-J Dinner speech was roundly praised, and now the campaign has decided to use parts of his address for a new IA TV ad, called “Moment.” Full script:
OBAMA: “I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message.” OBAMA: “We are in a defining moment in our history. Our nation is at war. The planet is in peril. The dream that so many generations fought for feels as if it’s slowly slipping away. And that is why, the same old Washington textbook campaigns just won’t do. That’s why, telling the American people what we think they want to hear instead of telling the American people what they need to hear, just won’t do. America, our moment is now. I don’t wanna spend the next year or the next four years re-fighting the same fights that we had,in the 1990’s. I don’t wanna pit red America, against blue America, I wanna be the President of the United States of America."
If Obama had demonstrated greater leadership during his brief tenure as a US Senator, I might actually find this ad inspiring.
Instead it's more of the same from Barack Obama--talk, talk, talk.
I wanna be the President of the United States of America.
And I want a trip to Europe. Doesn't necessarily mean either of us will get what we want.
