"...the real work of democracy begins far from the closed doors and marbled halls of Washington. It begins on street corners and front porches; in living rooms and meeting halls with ordinary Americans who see the world as it is and realize that we have it within our power to remake the world as it should be.

It is with that hope that we began this unlikely journey – the hope that if we could go block by block, city by city, state by state and build a movement that spanned race and region; party and gender; if we could give young people a reason to vote and the young at heart a reason to believe again; if we could inspire a nation to come together again, then we could turn the page on the politics that's shut us out, let us down, and told us to settle.  We could write a new chapter in the American story."

~Barack Obama

Fox Attacks

The FOX smears are continuing and we need to stop them from spreading to the rest of the media. Watch FOX's laughably inaccurate distortions, as they smear Barack Obama on everything from the economy to race to patriotism to flag pins. Then sign the petition and demand FOX stop serving up blatant lies for the rest of the media to swallow.

AD WATCH: 3 Fridays, 3 False Attack Ads
Deputy economic policy director Brian Deese takes on another McCain attack ad. Director of economic policy, Jason Furman, makes a cameo.

A very good amateur/independent
pro-Obama, anti-McCain ad


<<< Don't Know Much Ad

Watch Obama's new ad -- To the tune of Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World," a vocalist sings of John McCain:
"I'm not up on the economy ...
don't know much about industry ...
really can't explain the price of gas ...
or what has happened to the middle class."

At the end, the ad features no less than three pictures of McCain and President Bush together, with the lyrics
"If I could be just like you ... what a wonderful world it would be." A narrator concludes, "

Do we really want four more years of the same old tune?"

Fact Check McCain's Ad
Watch the video as Brian Deese, an Obama campaign policy advisor, refutes the various deceptions that John McCain is using to attack Barack Obama.

Actor John Cusack donated his time to make a great new TV ad reminding voters how McCain is just like Bush on all the important issues.  Watch the ad at the below and then help air it by donating to

John McCain graduated 5th from the BOTTOM of his class in the Naval Academy.  That's 894th of 899.  Then he goes on to say in answer to a question as to whether he is a Mac or a PC person -- that he doesn't know how to operate a computer.  And people think this guy can run the country?

Watch the video that expresses the opinions of McCain from his own party and military "commrades" and then decide if you want to support a man who is promoting endless wars.

McCain For SaleStanding before a room of oil company executives in June, John McCain flip-flopped and declared support for coastal oil drilling. Now the Washington Post is reporting that, within days, oil and gas execs ponied up nearly $1 million to elect McCain. It's another piece of evidence that in a McCain White House, oil companies will call the shots—just as they have with President Bush.
