MLB should put his logo on the bases, too

WASHINGTON (AdAge.com) -- Major League Baseball has moved back the scheduled start time of any game 6 of the World Series so Fox can also air the half hour Barack Obama spot on Oct. 29.

A network spokeswoman confirmed the buy and said MLB had agreed to the network's request for the delay.

Fox now joins CBS and NBC in airing the half hour program, whose content the Obama campaign has declined to describe. The decision means that the Obama campaign is now spending close to $3 million to air the program from 8 to 8:30 p.m. that night on at least three networks. ABC didn't immediately return a message asking whether it too has now agreed to a buy, a move which would create an unprecedented roadblock of the nation's biggest commercial networks.
What's notable here, really, is that Barack Obama seems to be the last company in America to have money to spend on ads.

Say it with me, folks... Land. Slide. Land. Slide. Land. Slide...

What a sad place this country has become. What an even sadder place it is going to be. They say time heals all wounds. Perhaps this will be the beginning of the end. Perhaps people will finally wake up and take their country back from the Government Party 4 years from now. I can only hope.

Yes, because the GOP has done such a bang up job throughout the Bush presidency and while controlling Congress for 12 of the past 14 years.
