The Barack Obama Half-Hour Worship Hour
I didn’t even bother to watch Barack’s Half-Hour Worship Hour last night (I knew I wouldn’t be able to stomach that much propaganda at one sitting), but Pam Meister did and wrote an excellent review.
Amber waves of grain. Children waving flags. Happy veterans. Glowing young couples. These are just some of the images seen on the Obama Worship Hour (otherwise known as a half hour paid political advertisement) last evening, broadcast on five channels: NBC, MSNBC, CBS, Fox and Univision. CNN declined the generous offer; ABC was unable to reschedule its Wednesday lineup in time. FOX News was not even invited to join the other supplicants at the altar.

One of the biggest complaints that Obama’s critics have is that we don’t know who he is. A little-known senator is suddenly in position to have the most influential and powerful job on the planet. But who is he? What’s he like? Who were the people who motivated him in his life? If you were looking for reassurance on those murky characters like Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Rev. Wright and Rashid Khalidi, you didn’t get it last night.
Her analysis is detailed and right on the money. As I always say, read the whole thing.

UPDATE: Even the Associated Press said that Obama’s informercial was misleading.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was less than upfront in his half-hour commercial Wednesday night about the costs of his programs and the crushing budget pressures he would face in office.Obama’s assertion that “I’ve offered spending cuts above and beyond” the expense of his promises is accepted only by his partisans. His vow to save money by “eliminating programs that don’t work” masks his failure throughout the campaign to specify what those programs are – beyond the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
The story is worth the click, as it fact-checks The One’s fluffy talking points one by one.
