It’s amazing what a candidate will say in an ad. Barack Obama has released a campaign ad in Spanish recently. Beside that fact we’re in America and our nation’s language should be English (I’ll save that for another post), who is he trying to fool with his partial information in this ad?
Here is the transcript of the ad in English, that I found at No Quarter.com.
(what’s in parenthesis is just my commentary)
Some people have power and connections.
(like the Senator.)
But most of us have to make our own way through life.
(Isn’t that the way it’s suppose to be?)
This is true even for the man who could become the next President … Barack Obama.
He grew up without a father – raised by his mother with the support of his grandparents.
(Do you mean the two Muslim men?)
Obama never forgot his roots ….
(Yes he did, he’s half white too.)
He worked with churches to help families get job training and after-school care for their children.
(None of which were Spanish speaking churches.)
In the State Senate, he passed a law that helped reduce the welfare roles by over 80% by helping families to secure jobs.
(OK, I’ll give him that one.)
And despite the political pressure, Obama has stood with us for immigration reform and spoke out for our veterans.
(to make it easier for illegals to say here.)
It’s time we had a President who understands we all deserve a chance to make our own way.
(With more programs that we’ll pay for in the way of taxes.)
Before anyone thinks I’m a McCain supporter, I have to say that the only thing that I stand for is what’s best for America. The campaign ads have always been a farse and always will be. I take them with a grain of salt and do my own research of each candidate. Unfortunately, most people believe the hype and uses the campaign ads as gospel. There is too much mud-slinging in the ads and each candidate should speak of their own accomplishments.
