US Army funding Obama Campaign -Vanity

Radio | SampleMan

[SampleMan]

I just heard a radio announcement that was 90% pure Obama collectivism. Obama was narrating and it had the tone of his campaign. The subject was HS graduation rates. He was telling us we needed to work together and go to the website. It was funded by the US Army and the Ad Council.

I'm betting this is just the beginning of a wave of publicly funded Obama campaign ads. Spend the campaign money on attack ads and spend public money on "feel good about him" ads.

How and to whom do we complain about this?

I wish I knew how we could stop this, but it has been going on for decades. It starts with the governor’s name on every road project. Then it has “public-service” announcements by the governor or the President, or by political favorites (to build up their personal before they are used in paid ads).

The trend has been growing, and the present administration will push it to the extreme. The only hope is that people will get sick of being preached at by the Dear Reader.

In totalitarian countries, the people fight back with jokes and satire. We might as well start learning this ability.

Here’s one such ad. Apparently he’s been at it since 2009.

Says we all have to take responsibility for every potential dropout.

The amount of government advertising on the radio has increased lately to the point where some of the lower budget AM stations are virtually all government ads. Your stimulus money at work.

From HumanEvents.com, April 29, 2008:
"By all accounts, he [Obama friend and associate, Bill Ayers] was a ferocious, violent, revolutionary Marxist in his halcyon days as a Weatherman leader. He and his Weatherman bombers were enamored of Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse-tung -- indeed, all the murderous heroes on the Left. Referring to the Weatherman members in August 1969, he said (according to the FBI): 'We’re revolutionary Communists.'

He got off on the group’s multiple explosions, too, and discusses them rather lovingly in his memoir.

Ideal Bombing Weather:
'Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,' he writes (although he concedes it was really a group effort). 'The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.' (p. 256 in the 2003 edition.)

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE
FRIENDS WHO WANTED TO BOMB FORT DIX

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."

They were subsequently charged with planning an attack against U.S. soldiers. The alleged aim of the six men was said to be to "kill as many soldiers as possible".[2] Their trial began on October 20, 2008. [3]

Article: Obama's Foul Weather Friends
By Scott Swett and Roger Canfield

"As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who [Bernardine] Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he 'left the room to cry.' "

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."
