For some reason this isn't loading on my computer.
It's an Obama thing, isn't it?

decent enough, but the key change on the piano that has plagued these types of ads for decades NEEDS TO DIE. such a condescending moment.

Wonder when his ad on his buddy Bill Ayers and the racists Wright will hit the airwaves?

The music and narration sound as if the ad is targeted to little children.

Michael Moore endorses Obama on his MySpace page: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=68139398&blogID=382827285
I'm less than overwhelmed by that, but I like his discussion of why he chose Obama:
I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple. Of course, Obama has no connection to Farrakhan. But, according to Senator Clinton, Obama's pastor does -- AND the "church bulletin" once included a Los Angeles Times op-ed from some guy with Hamas! No, not the church bulletin!
This sleazy attempt to smear Obama was brilliantly explained the following night by Stephen Colbert. He pointed out that if Obama is supported by Ted Kennedy, who is Catholic, and the Catholic Church is led by a Pope who was in the Hitler Youth, that can mean only one thing: OBAMA LOVES HITLER!
Yes, Senator Clinton, that's how you sounded. Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity. How sad that I would ever have to write those words about you. You have devoted your life to good causes and good deeds. And now to throw it all away for an office you can't win unless you smear the black man so much that the superdelegates cry "Uncle (Tom)" and give it all to you.

Under pressure to meet combat needs, the Army and Marine Corps brought in significantly more recruits with felony convictions last year than in 2006, including some with manslaughter and sex crime convictions.
