I am so fed up with the Obama campaign ads during the Olympics. I hope the rest of the country is as fed up as I am!

Surely ye jest.

Who could ever get enough of Dear Leader?

We need mandatory 4 hr daily all network broadcasts. Scarcely enough to stave off the depression from hopenosis withdrawals.

obama PACs running negative ads in between inspiring Olympic events is so jarring it is almost sure to turn off all but his rabid supporters (are they evcn watching the Olympics except to cheer against the US?)

blech. True colors.

I was wondering why Moochelle Obama was @ the Olympics watching basketball and Barack hasen’t. London is too full of testosterone for Barack.

My wife watches the Olympics and she is quite apolitical. When ever Obama comes on the tube she hits the mute button and then forgets that it’s on mute for the next hour or so. She says the commentators talk to much and it distracts from the events.

On the other hand, I hope that his over-saturation and spending his money like... Well only as Obama can, like a fire hose spraying out hundred dollar bills, will also turn off voters and potential voters.

Not really.

Still summer and folks are pretty much still tuned out in regards to politics. Wait until September.

The olympics suck. Obama sucks. Who cares. I am on vacation and the water is warm and the sun is hot.

Has anyone, particulrly the MSM, mentioned that Obama spent his early political capital and “Nobel peace prize” on getting the Olympics in Chicago?

Oh wait, reality sets in, despite Obama’s personal lobbying, it went to Brazil. Another BO failure. Which is fine, Brazil seems like a nice place I’m sure they’ll do great.

But really, could you ignore a stark contrast like Romney saved the US Olympics while BO couldn’t even get an invite? I guess you could if you’re the MSM and you ignore that story.

Not the right place for the poser in Chief to spew his lies—I like the way he talks about ‘Trickle Down’ economics and “We tried it and it didn’t work” Is he forgetful? Reagan tried it and we had years of boom times! It did work and only failed when the Democrats took a monkey wrench to it with forced bad loans. Even Clinton never mocked the Capitalist system like this fool.

Beats me if he is or isn’t, I DVR every single hour of every days events, and then I skip all the commentary and commercials, and very soon I am buying the Dishnetwork Hopper that will skip all the commercials automatically.

How about his plan involves “paying down our debt”?

In Az I haven’t seen any Romney ads. Maybe they are on here and I am not tuned in at that time. Obama spewing hate IS jarring in the midst of the International sports competition.

It’s a stupid ad with a nonsensical argument thay has a very expensive price tag. Keep it up, Barry!

I was wondering the same thing ... I've seen some in Maryland, of all places ... we are 2/3rds democrat and few electoral votes. All I could think of was that these are national ads rather than local.
