Politics:More Than 33 Million Watched Obama’s Infomercial
October 31st, 2008More than 33 million tuned in to watch Obama’s infomercial. Barack Obama’s campaign “infomercial” was the most-watched telecast in U.S. prime time on Wednesday, drawing an “American Idol”-size audience that even eclipsed the dramatic climax to the World Series. More than 33.5 million viewers tuned in to watch the Democratic presidential nominee’s paid, professionally produced 30-minute broadcast, which aired on three major networks and four smaller channels, Nielsen Media Research reported on Thursday. The three big networks alone, CBS, NBC and Fox, accounted for 25.5 million viewers combined – 1.2 million more than they drew in the same half hour a week ago, Nielsen said. The infomercial did not air on ABC because the network initially did not want to disrupt it’s regularly scheduled broadcast. As for the baseball audience, 19.8 million viewers watched the conclusion to the World Series championship as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays. The game ranked as the night’s No. 2 broadcast and was carried by Fox following Obama’s multi-network commercial. After the broadcast, which concluded with an appeal to a live audience, Obama campaigned for the first time with former President Bill Clinton, who called Obama the best person for the job, given the choice between Obama and Republican Sen. John McCain. Clinton said Obama makes the better decisions. Get more at Pamela on Politics.

Looks like 33 million not including me and my family got some hypnosis. Praise God I can ’see’ through all the garbage. I pray others can ’see’ before it’s too late. Folks just blind and it seems they want to be blinded!

I feel that it is urgent that Americans understand what Obama is saying when he said he would accept a partial birth abortion ban with an exception for the health of the mother.
At first, it sounds reasonable, but there is a sad political truth behind it. Under Roe v. Wade AND Doe v. Bolton, health is defined to include her mental health and well being. PLEASE look up Doe v. Bolton on Wikipedia. It is NOT an exception, it is a LOOPHOLE.
At the present time, unborn children have absolutely NO protection under the law. That is the way NARAL and Planned Parenthood want it. ANY baby can be killed if it is before it draws its first breath.
The overwhelming majority of Americans do not believe this is OK. I have even known abortion clinic directors, staff, and volunteers who do not think this is OK.
NARAL takes a position far more radical than the typical American. I don’t know the hold they have on the Democratic Party, but every Democratic presidential candidate in recent memory has had to bow to their wishes.
The sad thing is that Obama KNOWS THIS, and he’s still OK with it. The truth is that its NOT OK!!!!!!!!!!! He might be smart enough to get us out of this mess, but I really don’t want GOD to have to tell us………….
IT’S NOT OK.
We bear responsibility for allowing this travesty to go on for the last 35 years.
A pro-choice friend said I should vote based on who would do the most for ME! I’m sure glad it’s not all about me.
I truly believe that the path to blessing for our country and all its people is voting for “the least of these.”
PLEASE PRAY ABOUT THIS BEFORE CASTING YOUR BALLOT.
Thank you for “listening”
obama’s attitude is more than just cool, its bibical. who wouldn’t vote for him”
He understands the eveyday life of the american people. The reason he is able to answer questions fluently, would be becaus he’s been there and done that” ( obama is the answer) this is a man who knows what it is to take care of home. So lets stop with the negative gestures and let him take care of our home. The United States. By the way to whom ever thinks that they can take him out remember you can’t do no more to him than what god would allow.
