But it's clearly propaganda (which all of these things are), and it is blatant. It REALLY disturbs me.

I'm voting for him because he most closely aligns with my values, but I just really have a suspicion that I'm going to end up in a camp with a pink triangle on my chest if I ever disagree with him.
It didn't bother me all that much. I think it was going a bit overboard, and the concept was a bit odd to me, but other than that it didn't bother me.

Yeah..McCain's quote was a bit whiney at best.

Hey Sen...

If Bush can interrupt TV for free and ramble on for about an hr. over some BS then this isn't scary.
I think it's a different story when the President (no matter what party) is speaking, and when a candidate is doing it. Again, I don't have a problem with his doing the infomercial, but I think you're comparing apples to oranges when you're comparing Bush doing it and Obama doing it. It means putting aside your feelings about Bush and Obama, but from my point of view, I think of it purely as a candidate doing an infomercial/promotional feature versus the President speaking to the nation. When I look at it that way, the two things aren't comparable.
