Don't Hate the XBOX Player, Hate the Campaign

Finally, a candidate is reaching out to a massive, untapped demographic -- couch potatoes. Good luck getting them to the polls ...
Barack Obama
In an effort to invade your escapism, presidential hopeful Barack Obama has bought ad space on virtual billboards in an XBOX 360 game called "Burnout Paradise," according to Gigaom.com.

If the whole President of the U.S. thing doesn't work out, he's a shoe-in for mayor of Sim City.

32. OBAMA does not even wear the flag on his collor. He is and always will be a MUSLIN. He will bring this country down and you folks are so liking someone who really does not care about this country. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. He talks with a FORK MOUTH

34. So, it's not enough that Palin was found to be GUILTY of abusing her office.

Not enough that Palin blatantly lied to the American public about the report that came out on Friday evening.

Not enough that the McCain/Palin ticket has made RACE an issue in this election by falsely accusing Obama of associating with terrorist, outright lying to their simple minded followers.

Not enough that McCain/Palin blatantly refuse to answer direct questions

Not enough that McCain STILL hasn't released a solid economic plan without flip-flopping.

Not enough that black citizens in this country are being verbally assaulted at McCain rallies.

Not enough that members of the Republican party have turned their backs on the McCain/Palin circus and are refusing to support him.

Not enough that the way McCain is running his campaign has been compared to blatant racist George Wallace.

Not enough that Palin herself has ties to a seperatist group in Alaska who despise America.


What does Obama have to do? Dip himself in white paint before you people realize how much these two (McCain/Palin) are lying to you. I give them credit though, they've appealed to whats really important to you voters out there. RACE and as the past week has shown me that will NEVER change in this sad sad sad country.

35. #33, yours was the best reply i've read so far. McCain Supporters can't get past race wether they want to admit it or not. They are perfectly ok with being lied to as long as the 'Arab Muslim' isn't in charge... They have been perfectly happy with they way bush has been doing things the past 8 years, why stop now??

I'm not saying Obama hasn't stetched the truth, all politicians do, but he has NOT FLAT OUT LIED TO MY FACE like McCain and his 'Pitbull in Makeup' have...

Thanks a bunch republicans! Glad you care soooooo much about our country!

36. finally, a campaign that gets creative instead of using lies to make themselves look good, and it seems most of you are the most basic of "thinkers." i hate to even imply that you are thinking at all. McPalin will be the death of this country and everything it stands for. they are pure evil.

And I'm seeing how the bulk of your post can be equally applied to Obama. This is the sickest election year I've seen in all my 47 years.

38. To all my fellow republican voters, do not be scared of a President Obama, and I am quoting Senator McCain. Obama is not a Muslim, nor is he Hitler as a few of you here try to portray him. Even McCain said he is a citizen and a decent fellow. So relax all, Obama could win and I have no problem with that. I have learned alot about him and he is a good man but I will not make up my mind till tomorrow nights debates. Enough with all this evil spewing of lies by both parties.....

39. FACT: OBAMA BELIEVES WOMEN SHOULD REGISTER FOR THE DRAFT. Mr. Obama supports a requirement for both men and women to register with the Selective Service, while McCain doesn't think women should have to register. Also, Mr. Obama would consider officially opening combat positions to women. Mr. McCain would not.

40. I and half of this country would beg to differ with your view of Disgusted's comment. The McCain camp has resorted to blatant lies and scare tactics to the American public and now we look like a bunch of bigots. DID YOU NOT SEE THOSE CLIPS OF THOSE "SCARED" MCCAIN SUPPORTERS? It's gotten sooo bad now (thanks to McCain and his "pitbul" that he has to chastise his own supporters for responding to his rhetoric. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THEM.

Now, they've brought out all of these crazy racists (trust me - its only going to get worse as we get closer to the election) and god knows what will happen.

Obama has been running a smear free campaign and has only attacked so as not to seem like a wimp. McCain on the other hand looks like a frantic, erratic, fear-mongering FOOL.

I DON'T WANT SOMEONE LIKE THAT RUNNING THIS COUNTRY.

I'm sure we look absolutely ridiculous to other countries. THANKS MCCAIN/PALIN, you've succeeded in probably bringing about the biggest race riot this country has ever seen.

Racial Progress in America My Ass! Thanks for taking us back two steps you old GEEZER!

And you don't think all the blacks are voting for your guy Obama because he looks like them? Geeze, think before you post.

43. McCain doesn't want to be President. He's a puppet. It's fixed, can't you tell, McCain doesn't act like someone running for President. Our Government is corrupt at all levels, sad....Next super power is the European Union. America is crumbling, so it is written.

44. #3 So Sick!: Are you seriously comparing Obama to Hitler? Sorry, buy your "So Sick!"

Posted at 5:08PM on Oct 14th 2008 by Bokbagok

45. So David #43 -

Are you saying that is the only reason why blacks are voting for Obama? Wow. I seem to remember during the primary A LOT of blacks supporting Hillary. You probably wouldn't know that though as you're probably just jumped on the "Obama the Terrorist" train like those ignorant people at the Republican base last week. Too funny.

Wow, nice to know why you're voting for McCain though. Moron hahahaha
