Obama needs put out
Do I believe that if Obama had been President he would have flooded U. S. troops into Pakistan, risking WW III, just to serve up some Extreme American-style Prejudice on Osama Bin Laden's ass?
DAMN RIGHT!
Do I believe there's a tiny little voice in Obama's head constantly repeating "I'm going to show these damn fools what a damn nigger can do?
DAMN RIGHT!
You say this Obama's a baaad mutha.....
SHUT YOUR MOUTH
I'm just talkin bout Obama!!

At ANA Gathering, Marketing Pros and Agency Bigs Tap Barack Over Apple, Zappos
By: Matthew Creamer Published: October 17, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. (AdAge.com) -- Just weeks before he demonstrates whether his campaign's blend of grass-roots appeal and big media-budget know-how has converted the American electorate, Sen. Barack Obama has shown he's already won over the nation's brand builders. He's been named Advertising Age's marketer of the year for 2008.

Mr. Obama won the vote of hundreds of marketers, agency heads and marketing-services vendors gathered here at the Association of National Advertisers' annual conference.
Mr. Obama won the vote of hundreds of marketers, agency heads and marketing-services vendors gathered here at the Association of National Advertisers' annual conference. He edged out runners-up Apple and Zappos.com. The rest of the shortlist, selected by Ad Age's editorial staff, was rounded out by megabrand Nike, turnaround story Coors and Mr. Obama's rival, Sen. John McCain.
From unknown to presidential nominee
"I think he did a great job of going from a relative unknown to a household name to being a candidate for president," said Linda Clarizio, president of AOL's Platform A, the sponsor of the opening-night dinner attended by 750 where the votes were cast.
"I honestly look at [Obama's] campaign and I look at it as something that we can all learn from as marketers," said Angus Macaulay, VP-Rodale marketing solutions "To see what he's done, to be able to create a social network and do it in a way where it's created the tools to let people get engaged very easily. It's very easy for people to participate."
Jon Fine, marketing and media columnist for BusinessWeek, pointed to Mr. Obama's facility with engaging voters in social-media channels. "It's the fuckin' Web 2.0 thing," he said.
In introducing the winner to the crowd, Ad Age Editor Jonah Bloom joked, "I'm surprised. I thought you [all] made more than $250,000."
While Mr. Obama may have won the most votes, he didn't get them from several of the bigger marketers in the room, many of whom supported Apple, Coors and Nike instead. Procter & Gamble Co. had a split ticket. Outgoing Global Marketing Officer Jim Stengel, currently on special assignment as he prepares to leave the company at the end of the month, voted for Apple.
Linda Clarizio, president of AOL's Platform A, said of Barack Obama, 'I think he did a great job of going from a relative unknown to a household name to being a candidate for president.'
Apple's 'amazing consistency'
"Year in and year out, Apple delivers great innovation, customer service and user experience," Mr. Stengel said. "It has amazing consistency." His successor, Marc Pritchard, was a Nike supporter because of its development of a global community of users. "I think [the concept] is going to be huge," he said.
Brian Perkins, corporate VP-corporate affairs of Johnson & Johnson, also backed Apple, though Nike was a close second for him. "I admire all of the work they do, the clarity and consistency of their message, their design and everything they do," he said of Apple. Nike likewise consistently builds its brand across everything it does, Mr. Perkins added, noting that "they don't do a lot of TV. In fact, I don't remember when was the last time I saw a Nike ad on TV."
Mark Kaline, recently appointed global media director of Kimberly-Clark Corp., voted for Coors "because they showed business results," he said. "Quite frankly, because political advertising kind of goes against a lot of what ANA stands for, I don't think it belongs in the voting. ... A lot of political advertising is false and misleading, and marketers at this conference don't expect to see that kind of stuff."
Coors' 'new approaches'
Nancy Abraham, assistant VP-integrated marketing communications for Allstate Insurance Co., likewise backed Coors. "They've done an excellent job taking some new approaches in a market that hasn't seen a lot of growth over the years."
How they voted
Marketer % of votes Obama 36.1% Apple 27.3% Zappos 14.1% Nike 9.4% Coors 8.7% McCain 4.5% Source: Meridia ARS
While Apple's strong second-place showing in the voting surprised no one, lesser-known Zappos' third-place finish probably caught a few off guard. But the online shoe seller is a sexy story because of its practice of pumping the budget it would spend on advertising into its customer service, leading to strong retention.
"Zappos has great customer service, a great business model and it's smart to use the internet as a platform," said Maria Luisa Francoli, CEO of Havas' media agency MPG. "And I love the name."
The woman behind Obama. Penny Pritzker. Billionaire. But remember: we live a meaningful democracy -- ha ha!

And we should note. The billionaires behind Romney:

But all this is irrelevant because America is a profound and meaningful and functioning democratic society where money has no influence in our politics. It's no joke; it's true -- ha ha ha!
Obama smooth? He's Steve Urkle all grown up!
Maybe Obama can get a job as color commentator on MSNBC after Newt is in the White House.
I did not know Newt was married to The Joker.
CALLING ALL REPUBLICANS!!!!!
Bet your House on Romney! Do it NOW before the odds flip. Better return than GOLD! Double your portfolio and pay ZERO taxes when Mitt gets in the White House. YOU CANNOT LOSE!!! Get your bet down before gas hits $10 a gallon. I have it on good authority that Rush and Sean have over 100 MILLION on Romney's nose. Mortgage your house now before word gets out on this sure thing! Show the GOP you care. Be there! SUCKAHS!!

What exactly are you people complaining about? You are sheep that are being ran by the government, sorry, that is what happens when smart and intelligent people get into power and accumulate all the wealth in the nation. You are never going to remove them from office, you are never going to stop the rich, and you people are sniveling over party politics? Lol, wake up already!
Well done Sir!Quote:

It's more a system, a structure, of concentrated power. And concentrated power is exceedingly dangerous -- and is gonna serve its own interests regardless of the grievous impact on others.Quote:

No one is disagreeing with your assessment of the consequences of when power becomes concentrated into a small group, AKA the 1%. However the problem is when there are countless candidates who are for small business, who aren't in the pockets of lobbyists, who do have the interest of the people at heart, but guess what? Nobody votes for them, nobody cares about self-interest, the only thing people care about are the hot topic issues, gay marriage, religion, immigration. America is it's own worst enemy, and nothing with change because America is getting stupider, lazier, and more uneducated. I just can't wait for everyone 40+ to die.Quote:

I am confident in Obama's conscience and abilities. Probably after they told him about Area 51 they told him the Republicans were only lying 51% of the time, and that America's greatest generation has come and gone. I suspect the reason he hasn't gone after the robber barons on Wall st is tied up with China and India somehow, but they don't tell me nothin.
Laughable.Quote:

Perhaps not the worst president ever but certainly the worst I have known. But with more than a million innocent civilians killed, you can hardly speak of a fake war. The arguments used for the invasion were fake and I guess that's what you meant.Quote:

Worst part of all is that (just like the Vietnam war) both wars will go into history as not having achieved anything at all. Isn't politics a wonderful thing?
Sorry about the late response, Kelly. Just couldn't resist.

Not sure. That place is still a mess and all those crooks at the big firms who caused all the crap, walked free. Big boys still getting big golden umbrellas and still practicing shady buisness.
You're pretty sharp, and succinct with it GF. :Bowdown:Quote:

And they're deliberately designed to do that.)

Well for consistencies sake Ben, I find Chomsky tedious and hopelessly tied to some fantasy called the UN....but I did enjoy the incredulity of the BBC dude when Chomsky stated Obama was worse ! Thanks for that.
