Would Obama's money he spent on the infomercial have been better spent caring for the poor?

Granny,

Obama is not interested in spreading His wealth. He is only interested in spreading our wealth. He spends money very liberally on his campaign, (Greek columns, the infomercial), imagine if he wins the presidency. He will spend our money very foolishly!

McCain/Palin 2008!

Country First!

Because he is just a show off and wants this job badly. He is not sharing much of his personal wealth either, even with his poor relatives in Kenya. However, he only has so much money because he broke his promise to Mr. McCain - one of many - that he will use public funding, and then just continued fund raising. I do not understand why no one keeps track of his broken promises - the list would probably circle the Earth, maybe reach the Moon or maybe even Mars...

He talk the talk but not walk the walk like most Obama supporters. I am going to start putting the wealth distribution theory to work in my own life. No more waiters or waitresses getting all my tips, gonna spread it out to all of the workers in the restaurant, no my tipping for just baggage handler in the hotels, spread out to the desk clerk, housekeeping etc, sounds good to me. The Obama followers for wealth distribution will tell me it isn't fair but just showing g you what Obama's plan is all about just on a smaller scale, so get ready.

You get 100 points for and question very well thought out, What a great idea, I bet the money he spread around, could have re-done a whole housing neighborhood, instead he decided to spread the wealth to the media!!! doesn't make sense at all!!!!

Well, since he can only spend it on his campaign, no. But why did he need this infomercial in the first place? He's the biggest actor and the Americans who are voting for him are so snowed he could say "the sky is polka dotted" and no one would question him. It's the Pied Piper leading the rats to the river is all I have to say.

Well you know about the lady who says she won't have to buy gas for her car or pay her mortgage payments anymore (lol). Obama doesn't care about the poor- he has his own half brother in Kenya living on $1.00 a month. Now a new aunt shows up in Boston living in Public Housing. This is the aunt referenced in his book who he so dearly loved. Supposedly they lost contact. Kind of hard to find Obama I guess. She says she can't talk about him. CAN'T.

Yep, but he's a politician and by definition a liar. He's also lumped-in with those other crooks like Pelosi, Dodd, Frank, Reid, and yes, Stevens, a republican and felon who is still eligible to serve in congress. If an 18 year-old kid in the army gets convicted for something he's out on his ear! The polls are done by liberals, so don't believe them. Bill Clinton never won a poll.

Obama is a self-seeking type of person. He should practice what he preaches, and start spreading HIS wealth among his own family members who are having a very hard time. Actions speak louder than words in my opinion.

Wow, another Fox News Talking Point... does anybody actually think for themselves any longer?

This rhetoric is nothing but an attempt to take Sarah Palin off the hook for an "everyday Hockey Mom" having a $150K shopping spree. (Which is also her party's perogative, as the money was given to the election to spend on ... GETTING Elected).

McCain is still spending money on ads as well.

This is nothing but a veiled attack on Obama when there is nothing else of any substance to argue about. Little games to try and rip away because Sen, McCain has provided nothing of any substance to work with, only slander, lies and fear mongering.

This question has been asked and answered many times.

Federal law: Money raised for a political campaign must be spent on the campaign.

McCain's wife Cindy has hundreds of millions, do you expect John McCain to give his wife's money to the poor?

And, since McCain's campaign was hopeless from the start I guess he should have bailed out and given his donations to the poor a long time ago, huh?
