The Obama commercials??
When some pundit made a clown poster of Obama, a parody of the Joker, his supporters went crazy whipping around claims of racism and hate,etc. But has anyone else seen the credit card counselor commercials and mortgage loan commercials that go a long way to make it appear that Obama is endorsing their services, complete with announcers standing in front of White House backdrop and then several minutes of Obama talking about how to get out of debt with credit cards and the other does the same thing with new house loans. The companies are cheesy and yet there is Obama doing several minutes on each of the commercials. Why has the White House not stopped this use of the Presidency to endorse products? Will he be doing "rent a center" commercials next? What is up with this, how can this not be something the White House would stop???

The white house can't know everything that goes on every minute. That commercial should be reported, I'm not sure to who. The president doesn't endorse credit counseling or other products. But anyone with a computer can make a commercial that appears the president is endorsing their product.
The white house would stop that if they knew about it.

I am sure the White House does not care. They want their supporters to go to credit card counselors and screw the credit card company out of what is owed. He wants his entitled to use services that will stop those "evil" mortgage companies of getting what is due them. And to the poster who said the white house cannot know what is going on everywhere--- sure they can.

Because President Obama is the President, his name and image are public domain.
However, no one has the right to use his image and name in association of endorsing a product.
That's illegal and should be reported.

Information to some..ways to complain for another...he is NOT endorsing products...WFT
See..nothing the President does, will do or has done will make any con happy he is there
They lost...so use anything remotely possible and make things up to make him look bad
Only they are talking to the hand and negative things done by cons is only heard by the cons
BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE IS LISTENING

Don't worry in 3 years time Obama will be doing commercials for Pizza Hut as that will be his place of employment.
