SCRIPT – “Country I Love”

OBAMA: I’m Barack Obama.

America is a country of strong families and strong values. My life’s been blessed by both.

I was raised by a single mom and my grandparents. We didn’t have much money, but they taught me values straight from the Kansas heartland where they grew up. Accountability and self-reliance. Love of country. Working hard without making excuses. Treating your neighbor as you’d like to be treated. It’s what guided me as I worked my way up — taking jobs and loans to make it through college.

It’s what led me to pass up Wall Street jobs and go to Chicago instead, helping neighborhoods devastated when steel plants closed.

That’s why I passed laws moving people from welfare to work, cut taxes for working families and extended health care for wounded troops who’d been neglected.

I approved this message because I’ll never forget those values, and if I have the honor of taking the oath of office as president, it will be with a deep and abiding faith in the country I love.

Okay, this is just weird.

Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH) is going to be defeated by Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) in under 30 days.

Rep. Brown has been hit hard by the GOP with ads that are misleading. DeWine even had his ad people doctor photos of the World Trade Center to add more drama to the 30-second spot.

Today, Brown hit back with another really good ad. Check it out.

Stay tuned for DoubleSpeak’s interview with Rep. Brown – It will be up shortly.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) new web ad.

‘A New Direction. Now.’

This is a good one! Tester is going to win. His opponent, Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT) hates firefighters!
