If you watched the much talked about, and beautifully produced, Barack Obama infomercial last night and got teary-eyed and hopeful that America can continue to be the greatest land on Earth, you were not alone. The 27 minute advert aired in all four major networks and carefully outlined what and how Obama plans to do once he becomes President. To support his argument Obama highlighted the stories of four ordinary Americans: the suburban White housewife who could recall when times were better; the African-American retired elder who is forced to go back to work to provide health insurance for his sick wife; the struggling Latina widow who holds two jobs to pay the bills; and the my grand-daddy-and-daddy-worked-at-Ford -all-their-life-blue-collar-white-worker who suddenly has seen his job shipped overseas.


All in all a very good expose of what America is going through right now and what it needs to do to move forward. Below wee bring you an excerpt from the infomercial highlighting the story of the Latina widow Juliana Sanchez. What are your thoughts about last night viewing? Hate it? Love it? A biased portrayal produced to win your vote?
