Last night, we broke with habit and watched some TV, mostly two episodes of House on cable. The first thing I have to say is: really? (...A long tirade about commercials omitted....) While I tried to mute and ignore the ads, I did watch one for McCain-Palin. Maybe it was morbid curiosity. Not surprisingly, it was negative and included statements, which I have read on factcheck.org to be false. But, the negativity I found especially unpleasant. So, out of curiosity, this morning I looked online for an Obama ad and this is the first one that plays on his website:
Naturally I find it more palatable because I agree with many more of his policy stances, but I also really just really liked the positiveness of the messages. A message in this ad of which I'm particularly fond: "I don't want a nation just for me. I want a nation for everybody."
