Obama Makes His Case, and President Clinton Agrees, America Needs Change of Direction!

President Bill Clinton was a good president. He made a terrible mistake in personal judgment, and the hypocritical Republican hate machine made him pay dearly for it. But in his job as commander in chief and chief executive officer, his judgment for the American people was very good, and we had a time of wonderful prosperity because of the economic policies of his administration.

Which is why people need to listen when he says: "Barack Obama represents America's future, and you've got to be there for him next Tuesday," Clinton, with Obama at his side, said to the cheers of a huge crowd in Florida last night. Because he dearly wanted his wife to win the Democratic nomination, Clinton has been critical of Obama in the past, which makes his words now all the more a strong endorsement. He has come to see greatness in the man who beat out his wife in such a hard fought primary campaign.

Heaping praise on President Clinton, Obama said of Clinton: "In case all of you forgot, this is what it's like to have a great president."

President Clinton clasped Obama's hand and held it high when the men came on stage. Clinton made a methodical case for Obama, describing him as a strong thinker with smart policies. In one of his testimonials, he praised Obama for seeking the advice of experts — including him and his wife — on how to handle the country's financial crisis before acting. "Folks, we can't fool with this," Clinton said. "Our country is hanging in the balance. And we have so much promise and so much peril. This man should be our president."

Obama said of the two Clintons: "I am proud to call them my friends." Through the day, in two states, Obama unleashed a bleak portrayal of a McCain presidency, which promises to be four more years of the last eight years, and told a national TV audience that "the time for change has come."

Obama's rare, prime-time infomercial, shades of the great Ross Perot, (and very well done in making Obama's case for a change in direction from the Republicans) cut live to him appearing at a rally in Sunrise, Fla., where 20,000 packed a hockey arena all the way to the nosebleed seats. Obama continues to have wonderful crowds -- if they can just translate into votes to save this country!

The infomercial movie was an attempt to fight back at all the negative, false portrayals of Obama by the McCain campaign and the numerous right wing attack groups. It was an attempt to fight evil with good, instead of going personal and character assassination like McCain. The reason millions of small donars like myself have given to him ( I have given $190, but never over $30 at a time) is because we knew how the Republicans have stolen the last two elections, and we are trying to ward off the swiftboating of Obama. So I helped pay for this infomerial and I was pleased with how my money was spent.

The movie sewed together the best footage of Obama's campaign travels around the country -- hugging the ladies in the kitchen in hairnets, shaking hands on the assembly line, and delivering his best lines at speeches and debates with special family footage of him playing with his photogenic daughters.

Obama reminded viewers of his grandfather's service in World War II; that he only spent a month with his Kenyan father when Obama was 10 and that his mother was fighting HMOs as she died of cancer. He is no radical -- his and Michelle's background is far more solid American middle class than John and Cindy McCain. The ad focused on moving examples of middle-class or falling-from-middle-class families from the swing states that will decide this election.

Americans like you and me are hurting, and Obama has policies that will help them -- and us. McCain does not. He has the same right wing rhetoric that got us into this mess -- it got Bush and the Republicans elected, but look how poorly they have governed! America, do not be hooked and crooked by them again!

"In six days, we can come together as one nation, and one people," Obama said. From your voice, Senator Obama, and from many prayers, to God's ears!
