Has anyone noticed when they sign on to AOL, social networks or surf the net, there are banner ads touting "Obama wants to send you to college" or "Obama wants to lower your insurance". What is going on?
It disturbs me that any politician would be elevated this way--especially when it puts him in the company of celebrity leaders like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Castro and Chavez who were/are beloved leaders who promised to improve life for the believers at other people's expense. This isn't Obama paying for college or insurance, it's the taxpayers! It should be advertised as such: "Do things you can't afford! All on your neighbor's dime!"
They also appear on Facebook. I just ignore them.
I click the “thumbs down” when I see that crap.
Our Gentle Leader is everywhere, and only wants what’s best for you, citizen.
I’ve noticed these ads all over. How about this one “Obama wants mothers to go back to school”. Yes, master. Anything you say, master.
Thanks for bringing this up. up to now only country with dictators would something like this have occurred.
Since Facebook does hypertargeting with ads (ads based on your characteristics), it would be more accurate for some to say:
— Obama wants YOU to send your neighbors to college
— Obama wants YOU to pay their insurance
— Obama wants YOU _______________________
Of course, those wouldn’t sound as good.
"Obama wants to send you to college" or "Obama wants to lower your insurance".'Rumor has it', that he's got part time gigs at the University of Phoenix and GEICO.
What is going on?
) 'SERIES', I've never noticed those.
I have seen them on the CNN website, targeting single mothers _”Obama wants you to go to college” I agree it’s very wierd and what is the source of funds for these programs?
Obama wants to send you to college!
Obama wants to lower your insurance!
Satan wants to buy your soul!
Is there a difference?
Ad:
OBAMA WANTS YOU TO PUT YOUR HEAD BETWEEN YOUR LEGS AND KISS YOUR CAPITALIST @$$ GOODBYE!
Can obama lower his exposure to me?
There’s also the one that depicts two women marching lock-step with the caption “Obama wants women to go back to college”. Whenever I see it I think that they look like two “Obamobots”
Obama wants to do everything for you except defend this nation...which is pretty much the only thing he is charged with under the constitution. We Americans need to remind him to stay in his own paygrade...
OBAMA WANTS YOU TO SEND $10 TO P-MARLOWE!
Nah—I cut them some slack on that. Those are just recycled from the Mortgage ads. If anything that graphic is counterproductive.
They seem to have nice rainbow backgrounds too.
I suspect these are small private businesses whose niche is online education. They probably have determined in this day of using other peoples money for everything, they can get folks to come to their sites to sign up for online stuff with these ads. When you get there, there will be the usual govt subsidies - student loans and the like - to help pay. So, there is a little bit of bait-n-switch, come to the site expecting big handout, get there and find you still have to buy the bulk of the education (maybe they help with the forms for student loans).
Obama wants you to lose millions of pounds by following one simple rule!
I noticed it but couldn’t put into words what I found objectionable: Obama is bigger than the office. Cult of personality. Campaign targeted to the stupid, the gullible. So many things wrong with it.
