My mother called me yesterday upset at the new Obama commercial on the tv. She said it said President Barack Obama. I could not believe my ears! I saw it for myself and sure enough in big letters on the left lower side, that is what it said!


How on earth is he getting away with this? Please call, email, write to someone, I don't know who. If you live here, you can write the tv station you see it on. I just didn't know you could call yourself President when you are not!


I do not have the commerical yet to post, but he should be putting it on his youtube channel any time now: http://youtube.com/user/BarackObamadotcom (http://youtube.com/user/BarackObamadotcom)

I saw it on fox through comcast, but it is probably on other stations. BUT, i think comcast puts it on locally, so don't know how much fox has to do with it, maybe nothing. My mom said it was on channel 8 kgw locally http://www.kgw.com/customerservice/HelpCenter.do (http://www.kgw.com/customerservice/HelpCenter.do)

Thanks to those who took snapshots, apparently he is doing it in NC and PA, too. Here is one image, although there are many:

It is on my television, so there is no not giving it hits. He hasn't posted it on the internet yet.

I JUST FIGURED OUT HOW HE IS GETTING AWAY WITH IT (SO HE THINKS). HE PUTS A PERIOD AFTER HIS NAME, THEN ONE AFTER PRESIDENT.:eek:

BARACK OBAMA.
PRESIDENT.

THAT IS HOW IT LOOKS ON THE TV AD AND HE DOES IT AT THE BEGINNING ON THE LEFT AND AT THE END ON THE RIGHT, ALL IN BIG LETTERS.

IT IS WRONG! IT HAS TO BE! HE IS CLEVERLY TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH IT!:mad:

Just on the face it, I am not sure how that is legal. Impersonating, or assuming the role of, the Office of the Presidency to discuss governmental issues, whether it be a political campaign, or otherwise. The periods do not cause enough distinction from what the ad subliminally purports.

It needs to be reviewed by the U.S. Attorneys offices located in Oregon and the State Attorney General's office, a.s.a.p.

"The verb is considered the “king” of English grammar because it can be used to make a single-word sentence such as “Run!” No other type of word (such as a noun or adjective) can produce a one-word sentence."

I'm just puting this up as a reminder that they cannot claim it is a separate sentence, which speaks to the commercial's true intent and desired effect.


With regard to contacting the federal agencies, WE NEED A CASE #, or FILE #, and specific info as to which laws or regulations our claim refers. It's up to the agency involved to provide that info. Saying something has been reported is not as strong as saying it is "under official investigation." A case number signifies that it's the real deal, regardless of outcome.

the power of suggestion. This has been the big strategy of his campaign. His gestures and subliminal messages. He has been working hard for people to associate him with the presidency and this will make it easier for them to choose him. All the images associate him--the white house, the flag. These subliminal images are the reason people think he will be a good president, because it certainly isn't based on his articulation of the issues in the debates. And the media is as swayed by images as anyone.

Hillary will win the nomination. She will be the next President of the U.S.

Unbelievable that the DNC has no comment on this. I thought Dean said somewhere he was there to make sure things are fair... how is this fair?
Also, apparently his campaign does a LOT without Obama knowing.. like going after Hillary for her bosnia comment and then he claims in a debate he never said anything.

Are we voting for him or his campaign?? Is he going to continue to not take responsibility for anything?

It appears they already had a prepared answer. I wonder how they arrived at that legal conclusion, or if they even went through the necessary steps.
If that ad said "Police Officer." I suspect he'd be arrested.
Freedom of speech has limitations.

One way to get the agencies to take action is to tell them you want to do the same thing, your name- President., or your name -U.S. Senator, or your name - Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Lack of action on the part of agency, sets a precedent of acceptability, and grants permission to all. That's the part they won't like. lol
Sometimes, when they lack a sense of urgency, you have extend the logic with a laundry list of examples until they outright tell you, that you cannot do the same thing.

The Republicans I know (and there are many unfortunately) support Hillary over Obama because they think Obama is THAT BAD. They don't want to risk Obama actually winning the election and ruining the country. Most Republicans are not Limbaugh....most care enough about their country not to risk an Obama win (many many are moderates and were considering a Dem this year due to Bush's failures - they would NEVER consider Obama though - some I think would consider Hillary...she's the better candidate). Seriously - yes there are some major Republican a**es out there but not all....I think most see Obama for the fraud he is and would rather have Hillary than him (of course they want McCain as the first choice but you get the idea). Leaving Obama in there is risky for them considering the large cult-like following he has.....a lot of these "fainters" and supporters are real people...as crazy as it seems a large part of our populace is in love with this guy...WHY OH WHY????

Just my opinion......this is Obama's doing (I think he has friends in high places but I don't think they're Republican - I think they're worse)....unless you think he's secretly a Republican....with Obama I think anything is possible but I suspect he's a far far left radical hiding in moderate's clothing.

But you're all just missing the "context."

He didn't actually say he was president of the US

He meant President of the commercial

President of his campaign

President of his.. you pick the next word

Then there is the small print that basically says he never really approved the message himself.. he's running a campaign, he can't be bothered to really approve each and every commercial his campaign puts out.

How is this permissible?

It is blatant misrepresentation and dishonesty.

Would be like saying: "Barack Obama, Physician"...You can't just use these titles freely.

Someone needs to take that photo and then animate it into his Fingermercial at the NC rally this past week.

I saw the commercial yesterday. All I could do was shake my head, guess I'll stay off channels 2,6 & 8 since those will be the ones he focuses on. I think maybe I'll write all three channels and let them know I can't watch them till the primary is over. Maybe even throw in channel 12

More deception and "cuteness" on the part of Obama. If not illegal, it is certainly unethical!

I can't believe it, but I did - I went to the RNC website! It's amazing - I just know that these same people are the ones that are fawning falsely over Oblama in the media so that he gets the nomination while all the time getting together their playbook for November! We all know it's not that Oblama's campaign is doing a bang up job:eek:, because with such gaffes as he has anyone else would have been GONE LONG AGO, it's the control over the media that the repubs have! Senator Clinton supporters have got to get the word out - we've got to keep fighting for her! Now I need to take a shower after having gone over to the dark side for a while! :eek:


Yeah, and Rush Limbaugh has that movement, "Rush to Hillary". I believe it is part of the same plan, to get Obama as the nominee because the republicans know they cannot beat Hillary!

There's just so much, I don't even know where to start. Has anyone gotten any response from the media? I know some of you have said you were going to pass this around, including sending it to the Clinton campaign. Has that been done by anyone? And have you gotten any response?

best is to notify FTC both in writing and by phone.

There is an Annenberg Foundation media watchdogging group. They are mostly about news.. but they may care enough to take this up bec it affects public causes so closely.

PBS also may take it up.

Be sure to block/obfuscate part of the CALL-IN # & WEBSITE INFO in the ad BEFORE you send the snapshots, so he does not gain free advertisement airtime on the media. They have done this type of thing and gained airtime before. Dont forget, they are trying to use these to raise money to refill the big buck-ette.
