The stories of the people portrayed aren’t corny. But we’re all either living the same uphill battle they are or know someone who is. There was absolutely no new discovery in those stories. Maybe it was new for Senator Obama, but not for the rest of us.

Among the corniness is Senator Obama telling us how he’s going to create all these programs to change the world, make life wonderful for the middle class and take away all the wrongs that are heaped on them. Uh huh. He doesn’t tell us what the programs are. I guess a couple extra thousand dollars per year through tax cuts is supposed to make a gallon of milk, arthritis drugs and the electric bill affordable. Senator Obama fails to mention that once we have our tax credits so we can afford food again, just how the Federal government is going to continue to fund our schools, highways, bridges, dams, national parks, military, ports – all those wonderful things our taxes do for us.

I noticed out of all the Democratic governors he put in the ad to say wonderful things about him, not one was a woman. Not one. No women are seen praising him and urging America to see him as the leader that will save us.

Instead, the women we see are all victims of some kind of oppression or another. The housewife that has to ration food and her husband can’t have surgery because they can’t afford for him to be on disability. The woman with arthritis who’s 72 year old husband has to work at Wal-mart to pay for her prescriptions. The single mother with two kids who is a teacher and works a second job. It’s never stated what has oppressed the lives of the women other than some unnamed giant that Senator Obama is going to slay by changing how we’ve been doing things for the past century or so.

Senator Obama ends the taped part by saying he’s going to ask us to be involved in our democracy again.

I don’t want to be involved by paying higher taxes. I’ll take the tax credit checks, but I’m not joining any community volunteer force. Nope. My free time is mine. If I wanted to work for our government, I’d run for the Senate.

What I want is an administration that gets busy fixing the mess that has been made in the economy and foreign relations over the past eight years, starts paving the way for universal health care and doesn’t think it’s going to do any of it by taxing me or insisting I spend my Sunday afternoons in service of the country. That’s what I want. Not the corniness I saw in Senator Obama’s thirty minute ad.

Anyway, Senator Obama – I’m not knocking on doors for you. You’re on your own if you’re elected. Those of us out here in middle America don’t get enough sleep as it is and what little time and money we have left over after we meet our responsibilities is for us – we’re not giving it to you. Change the world with your own money and time, don’t call us.

I think I’ll knock on my DNC’s door tomorrow and give them some ears of corn.

Scary. Sure sounds like shades of Hitler Germany and Stalin Russia. And probably every other nation with a dictator in charge of it.

Another thing I learned was that the hispanic families that I knew were all about the American dream. In one family, when I first met them, the mother and father (late 30′s or early 40′s) did not speak English very well. Oftentimes, their daughter translated for them. Their little boy was able to be enrolled in our Head Start program and learned English very quickly. The parents were so proud. Both parents worked and dreamed of their own business. They went in together with another hispanic family and opened a mexican restaurant nearby. They later rented the storefront next door when it became available to open a Mexican grocery store. Lots of long hours but they are realizing their American dream.

In another family, two brothers wanted to start their own business. Laying tile or installing drywall. Anything. They were willing to work hard for their American dream. Because my husband and I were involved in the community and we have our own business, they came to us to ask a lot of questions about how to go about starting their own business, legally. We gave them information about being licensed and insured, how to get incorporated etc. They eventually started a corporate cleaning business, cleaning offices and other business facilities after they were closed, working long hours into the night.

This neighborhood was a low income neighborhood and while I love my new home on 2 1/2 acres in the country, I miss my old neighborhood and wonderful neighbors who really kept reminding me so very often that this is truly a great country. One of the most exciting neighborhood news was when someone became a United States citizen. So much pride.

I find it hard to believe that these families would be drawn to Obama.
