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.

49. jhn,

Thanks for the link.

And to think they don't realise Obama's an educated half white millionaire who'd turn his nose up on them at a shot

50. What a cheap ass way to try to influence children who don't KNOW any better. Do they show ACORN workers trying to steal the election too on the million bucks they got from the Obama campaign?

51. Unso Opinion!..thats your right to vote for whomever...and you have your reasons for choosing why...as do I.
But as i said before..what i have read on these Tmz posts when it comes to political view points..the 'Right' for the most part
are so hatefull and resort to unfounded racist accusations and distorted fact propaganda against Obama..its actully hilarious
seeing them try and make any worthwhile argument with any substance why McCain will better our country..because he is
a maverick?...thats a joke!..he's nothing but a "Side kick' to Bush..,,because he was a POW?..does that give him carte blanc to be our president?..Not!!...maybe its because he has been in government longer...so?...or maybe? just maybe its because
he's white?..Hum?.. just saying?...in any case my concerns are the war..our econemy.. jobs.. and better health care.,,and
Obama seems to care about the same things as i and many do...but you go ahead and vote for who ever....Obama will win!
and we will all see what happens....right?

52. Okay, yes I am white, but I am not racist for not voting for Obama, if McCain wetre black and Obama was white I would still be voting McCain, I think its funny when everyone wants to vote for their candidate based on facts that they hear or I am sure don't even understand fully..... What I understand is that both and all candidates are liars, and have alot of skeletons in their closets, So........alot of people see Bush as our problem which makes it a whole republican hate thing, well....Congress votes this stuff in not the president and if I recall congress is made up of the majority being democrats hmmm......Its the dems fault.....Obama will probably get assasinated then there we are in a huge race riot because everyone knows that is how the majority of the black community thinks to fix things....Again not a racist comment just the truth look at history. Obama agrees with abortion, believes in benefits for gay couples (but not gay marriage?) In my book that is supporting it, Can not show his love for America, and stupid people think he should run our country......Bill Clinton already made us the butt of many jokes and was a crook who stole from the White House....Plain old ,not a good guy!!!! Obama hates the United States and will run it into the ground after he takes care of the certain races that he wants...If you want a race riot when he gets assasinated(which I do not want) where your husband,wife,child,etc. will get killed by the riot then vote him in and help with the murders that will happen....

R.I.P.

53. I have never seen so many drones follow one man blindly like they do Obama. You think Obama doesn't have a racist slant in his makeup? Damn people - wake up and smell the damn coffee. He went to Rev. Wright's church for 20 years! Do you ACTUALLY believe, (search your soul here) that he sat in that church ALL THOSE YEARS, that Wright married him, and baptized his children, and that Obama never ONCE heard one of those GD America speeches? That he never ONE TIME IN TWENTY YEARS heard that the government is responsible for AIDS in black people? That he never heard racial hate speech? Are you freakin' serious? Use your one brain cell and consider the odds of that happening. Early in the race before Wright became a source of trouble for him, Obama called Wright his "mentor". Now tell me he didn't know what was going on in that church! I'm not happy about this election. I don't care for McCain. I think Bush has made a mess of things, but I'll be damned if I'll vote into office a man with Obama's racist shady Chicago background who supports the murder of children by scrambling their brains as they're born! I pity all you fools voting for him. And BTW, all these young college kids who are supporting him.... that they've registered to vote at concerts, etc., and on college campuses? - they don't know a freakin' thing about what Obama stands for. They can't even pick a picture of Joe Biden out of a group of photographs! This man is going to be elected by a mass of idiots! Don't say I did not warn you!

54. hey!Obama will bring!!.good to see you come out of your little rat hole sprewing your ignorant rhetoric..of course we believe
you're not a Racist?..Ya right!!..predicting.assasination of a black president?...race riots?.( because that's how they think)..
you would vote for McCain if he was Black?...what a bafoon!!...and i'm being very polite a##hole!!!.
You are a perfect example of why some fetus should of be aborted....but you keep sprewing with your "Not Racist?
Rightious self"...most americans know exactly who you are....and it's ugly.

55. America's fathers wholeheartedly believed in the premise stated in Psalm 33:12, which says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." But what would they have thought of a nation that removes God from its heritage, classroom instructions, civic ceremonies, buildings, monuments, historic sites, etc.? Thomas Jefferson said, "And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever..."

This is what's happening today in America.

56. "I have never seen so many drones follow one man blindly like they do Obama. "

I could say the exact same thing for Lyin' McCain & Pit Bull Palin

You know whats funny is everyone hates pitbulls unless its Sarah Palin... This is one pitbull that I wouldn't mind being put down!

57. I live in OHIO and boy is the sh@# ever getting scary around here with all this voter fraud. The Libs are attempting to STEAL the election and are getting prepped to RIOT if it doesn't work.

Slap Obama's face on a billboard that reads...

VOTE EARLY...VOTE OFTEN!!

Posted at 8:41PM on Oct 14th 2008 by Mr. A

58. Ace, you'd like to see Sarah Palin "put down"? Is that a threat? No one here on this particular topic has actually said they'd LIKE to see Obama "put down" to use your words - they just believe it might happen - with very tragic consequences for everyone involved - black and white. There would be a lot of lost life on both sides. I, for one, wouldn't harm him - he's not worth it. Give him two years tops, and he'll be impeached. He'll be his own worst enemy. Watch how quickly people turn on him when they realize he doesn't know sh(* about what he's doing!

Posted at 8:43PM on Oct 14th 2008 by Shall we Call the FBI? Ace?

59. shut up # 57... Have a sense of humor...

Besides, people at McCain/Palin campaign stops are screaming "Kill Him" about Obama... What do you have to say about that?

Posted at 9:00PM on Oct 14th 2008 by Ace

60. I say, "shut up" back, Ace. Like I said, I don't think anybody should be threatening anyone in truth or in jest. Best I recall, the Secret Service HAS investigated a couple of those crowds threatening Obama. These are dangerous times we've living in. I'd hate to see you get in TROUBLE.
