"Pocket" TV Ad



Uploaded by: BarackObamadotcom
Video Description:
"Pocket" illustrates the clear choice in this election between an approach that keeps us sending billions to oil companies and foreign governments and one that gives middle class families a $1,000 rebate funded by a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. On the air...

Gold ole Juan ... ( 3 months ago by runningchance)
Gold ole Juan McSame, he really knows how to listen to the big oil companies and follow their directions. He has even been given the good seal of approval by Cheney. What else could America want out of a President?
From a non-partisan ... ( 3 months ago by wavetothefuture)
From a non-partisan engineer's standpoint, I must say that the technology to power our nation on clean energy is available NOW, waiting to be implemented. We are "the land of big ideas".

Even as a parody, it wasn't that bad of an idea. At least we know her script writers have some political sense.

Yes attack McCain! Contrast the differences! It's about time!

Great ad. Nothing ... ( 3 months ago by sylviasoven)
Great ad. Nothing quite socks it to the McCain campaign like the visual of a photograph of John 'The Maverick' standing next to good ol' Bush.

I dont think that ... ( 3 months ago by Atom05851)
I dont think that tax rebates are enough. We've been using oil for only 100 years or so to fule our cars. Its time we look to a new source. Ethanol... however if we divert corn towards ethanol production it will cause an increase in the price of beef and chicken which rely on corn as feed. Instead we should legalize industrial hemp wich could be used to both feed animals and also create the enzymes needed to make ethanol.
Windfall profits ... ( 3 months ago by kolchak33)
Windfall profits taxes do nothing to decrease the price of oil.
Also, If we want to decrease dependence on foreign oil...why tax American oil companies?
Windfall profits ... ( 3 months ago by Blackmilitant421)
Windfall profits taxes aren't supposed to lower the price of oil...who the fuck told you that? The price of oil is up because speculators want it to be...not because of "supply and demand" The republicans know drilling won't do shit...they are just trying to keep their seats in november. If it was "supply and demand" why hasn't the new drilling of china and brazil lowered the prices?
Actually, ethanol ... ( 3 months ago by Coraxuss)
Actually, ethanol and such were once used in the early days of automobiles.
We gotta be tough ... ( 3 months ago by laffytaffy636)
We gotta be tough on oil. Obama's plan is structured for decreased demand, while mccain's is for increased supply.
These oil companies have all kinds of land ready to drill on, USE IT OR LOSE IT
I think it is a bad ... ( 3 months ago by theiamania)
I think it is a bad idea, because instead of using money on getting more oil, we should use that money to create and develope other and more green sources of energi. The drilling question is a question on where should we focus our money to get the most and the best out of them.
And the oil ... ( 3 months ago by orlandofriend)
And the oil companies won't build the added tax into the price? Don't be a fool... Obama is a socialist that wants to redistribute wealth. It won't work.
The only thing is ... ( 3 months ago by razberryberet)
The only thing is that Oil Companies are sitting on leases of 68 MILLION ACRES of land. they won't drill because they need the price to stay up. Even if we drill the oil goes to the World Oil Market--it could be sold to Russia or China. ANWR and off-shore drilling is being used as a wedge issue.
If the oil companies would give up some of their leases or drill them, then it would make sense...this is just a land grab for future profits.
wow, what was your ... ( 3 months ago by razberryberet)
wow, what was your comment? must've been a bad one...
Alternative energy ... ( 3 months ago by gotchasilly)
Alternative energy programs are further beneficial--they can create as many as 5 million new jobs!

did you actually read what you just typed? He wants to redistribute wealth? thats bad because? What was McCain's definition of wealthy again... you know whats funny.. the same people who told everyone not to vote for Bush are the SAME
We export 70% of ... ( 3 months ago by darrinpipe)
We export 70% of our domestic oil anyway. Offshore drilling will take years to have an effect at the gas pump. This is why offshore drilling won't drop gas prices. $1000 is a nice step, but it's only a small piece of the puzzle. Wanna know another piece of the puzzle? NASCAR recommends that you check your tire pressure to make sure you don't lose gas mileage. Food 4 thought.
why are "so-called" ... ( 3 months ago by SPOT187)
why are "so-called" Conservative so quick to call people that dont agree with them names .. oh your a socialist.. you liberal.. your such a communist .. You left-wing facist ..uuh he's from the Far Left.. Grow up name callin is what little kids do my five year old does the same thing , next your goin to call Obama a poopy head.lol

McCains primary ... ( 3 months ago by janebusby)
McCains primary concern is to make oil companies richer.
He wants:
- Extra Drilling = more oil profit.
- War in Iraq & Iran = more oil profit.
- To Open ANWR = more oil profit.
- No specific green targets (only feel good waffle!) = more oil profit.
- Gas tax holiday = higher prices & more oil profit (its been tried).
- No windfall tax on big oil companies to invest in raising car MPGs = more oil profit.
McCain has been bought & paid for.
He works for them.
Both sides make ... ( 3 months ago by stevo7272)
Both sides make misleading ads. I am not a huge supporter of either candidate and I don't know who I am going to vote for, but everyone please be cautious and take all campaign ads with a grain of salt. Don't blindly follow any candidate. Your duty to your country isn't to vote... it is to vote as an informed citizen. You are doing everyone a disservice if you don't inform yourselves of the facts and then go vote anyways.
D) When this ad ... ( 3 months ago by stevo7272)
D) When this ad says $1000 for families for gas, it implies that all families get this. This is not true, if you research this you find that it is only a small percentage of families. I don't think this is good policy either, but again that's not the point of this post.
