P. Diddy Combs (NOTICE-there is profanity in this video)

Sean P. Diddy Combs speaks out against John McCain over his choice of Sarah Palin.
If anyone can make sense of this video to me or explain to me what he's saying in simple english I'd be very grateful.



God help us if everyone votes for Obama based on only what this extremely wise and brilliant man has to say. It is scary that so many people will end up listening to this man and Oprah.

Obama's newest ad

The following ad titiled "Economy," continue Obama's recent attack ad campaign on Senator McCain. I would just like to point out 2 interesting things about this ad:
1) It is not being aired nationally, most notably during the most popular time slots during the olympics, where Obamas positive ads are being shown (The two solutions I can think of are: a) Obama is scared of this getting too widespread, or b) he's smart enough to know that ads like this spread around the internet like wildfire and therefor doesn't have to waste the money)
2) Out of the 2 clips used to show that McCain doesn't think we are in/going into a recession one is from 2004 (Note to Mr. Obama- a lot can change in 4 years, just look at President Bush's ratings).

PS I also love how the people who are interviewed are from Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. I'm not saying that throughout the nation people don't share these views, but it is interesting to note the clearly calculated choice of people who are interviewed and shown in this ad.

Why I Love "am New York"

This Morning in am New York, "New York's largest circulation daily," the conver article was ratings from the amNY staff on everything from sportsmanship to commercials. Winning the "commercial dart" for worst commercial was John McCain's negative attack ad, "Boo to Sen. John McCain for running a negative attack ad," this is just another proof to why amNY is the best newspaper in town.

A freindly piece of advice

Note to all those who run for office:

Although I am inexperienced and have never run a major political campaign I have learned that no matter what you do the truth will always prevail. Every campaign has its summer interns who work tirelessly researching the decisions that any candidate has made and the truth will always prevail whether by the guilty party of by those who discover the lies. I hope we all have learned from the Bill Clinton and John Edwards events (to just name 2) that we should all but honest and truthful. I hope we can fix this soon because a coworker of mine told me today that she (and many people she knows) refuse to date politicians because they are so dishonest and I hope to one day be not only a politician but also a father and husband.

Chuck Norris

Although it is questionable whether or not Mr. Huckabee actually approved this ad, I only wish, since the candidates seem to be bringing up celebrities and their revelevance to campaigning, that someone would bring Chuck Norris back onto the scene so he can enlighten us further.

Dirty Politics

The Obama campaign responded to McCain's most recent ad with the following statement:

"The Obama campaign slams back. Hari Sevugan, a spokesman, issued this statement: This ad is a lie, and it’s part of the old, tired politics of a party in Washington that has run out of ideas and run out of steam.
“Even though a host of independent, nonpartisan organizations have said this attack isn’t true, Senator McCain continues to lie about Senator Obama’s plan to give 95% of all families a tax cut of $1,000, and not raise taxes for those making under $250,000 a single dime.
“The reason so many families are hurting today is because we’ve had eight years of failed Bush policies that Senator McCain wants to continue for another four, and that’s what Barack Obama will change as president.”"

MY ONLY QUESTION FOR YOU MR SAVUGAN IS WHY YOU AND MR OBAMA CAN'T BE "THE BIGGER MEN HERE" AND NOT TAKE SHOTS BACK, BY DOING THIS YOU ARE ONLY STOOPING TO THE LOW LEVEL THAT YOU CLAIM MR. MCCAIN SHOULDN'T BE AT.

Something to keep in mind when observing the Media and Politics

"Political advertising is effective...when it ties into an overall narrative"

-Mark McKinnon, a media strategist and former McCain adviser who worked for both of Mr Bush’s campaigns

Good work Mr. McCain

"A senior adviser to Barack Obama has blamed recent attack advertisements comparing the Democratic presidential hopeful to celebrities Britney Spears and Paris Hilton for a dip in Mr Obama’s polls with voters.

Tom Daschle, the former Democratic Senate majority leader, said in an interview with the Financial Times that the Mr Obama’s Republican rival John McCain was seeing a “short-term blip” as a result of the advertising..."

As bad as it gets

When Paris Hilton is getting involved in politics you know we're in trouble (and who knew she could speak so coherently)

An important fact to keep in mind

Sometimes the truth comes from the worst and most untruthfull places:

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people
from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
- Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister
