Obama Campaign Calls
Well now the campaign has begun. It's Barack Obama vs John McCain. Already the solicitations are coming in. So far the worst violator has been the Obama campaign, calling me every week it seems asking for money for the campaign. I do want Obama to win this election, for I feel he can lead us through the upcoming crisis better than McCain. This makes it difficult for me, as I keep getting these calls from his campaign, and so far I have not gotten one from McCain. But do I want to contribute to his campaign?
No way. Barack Obama has nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in his war chest, while McCain has only a third as much. He has plenty of money. He can advertise all over the place and smother the airwaves with ads. I hope he does that. Campaign ads, even evangelical Republican ones, are better than blaring ads from auto dealerships hawking, or I might say pigging, their SUVs or ads for the same medicines over and over again. So far Obama's ads have been winners. But he already has the money for that, and for the rest of his campaign. If I want to help Obama, I will do so with action, not money.
Although McCain has not called me since Obama won the Democratic nomination, he still threw five computer calls at me in 2008 February during primary season. Further, the Republicans keep sending me surveys and other items making the incorrect assumption that I am a Republican. I answer the surveys and complain to them about their computer call tactics. So which camp is worse with the campaign? McCain's, that's who. That is because Obama prefers to have real people talk to me, whereas McCain sends out computers. Do you want someone in the White House who can relate to people, or someone who can relate to computers? The answer is clear. I support Obama.

MSNBC quoting Obama today. A comment we know well in Illinois but one you should file away,
Mr. Obama is an introspective candidate, and perhaps the best analyst of his own political style. “I serve as a blank screen,” he wrote in “The Audacity of Hope,” “on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”
In 18 months when your asking yourself how you could have voted for this duplicitous guy, pull out this quote and remember he told so. He told you what you'd be getting. A blank screen you couldn't see through.

Mr. Baar,
Your comment may say something about Barack Obama, but you don't mention campaign calls anywhere in it. I was talking about campaign calls from the Obama camp. To me, Obama is our best hope for the future, but he's not going to earn any votes when his staff constantly harass voters with campaign calls.
