New Vote Vets Spot: "Iraqi Freedom"
In the new Vote Vets spot running nationally, Brandon Woods, an Iraq War veteran, says: "Sen. McCain would occupy Iraq indefinitely, against their wishes. That's not what freedom means. That's not what we fought for."
And the RNC's react, per spokesman Alex Conant:
“Barack Obama voted against funding for the very troops this ad claims to represent. By continuing to oppose the surge strategy and rejecting the advice of General David Petraeus, Obama is putting political expedience ahead of victory. Rather than attacking John McCain for listening to General Petraeus, this group should ask why Obama lacked the strength to stand up for our troops during a time of war.”
I'm as much for the handheld, quick-cut, extreme close-up style as anyone, but here it takes away from what is otherwise a powerful message. Why, for example, focus on the guy's teeth for so long? To show that he had a good orthodontist? It's distracting.
Hello every one ,
As you know I am not a very political person,I just want to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to (The War Zone).I wanted to share with you what happened.
He got off the plane into a bullet proof vehicle,got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 star)who the commander here at Bagram.As the Soldiers were lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General.As he finished,the vehicles took him to the Clam Shell(pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights)so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball.He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.
So really he was just here to make a showing for the
American's back home that he is their candidate for President.I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.
I swear we got more from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheer leaders than from a Senator,who wants to be President of the United States.I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief.It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country .
If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind or person he really is .What you see in the news is fake .
