Obama on the air in Florida
Presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama is launching his first ad of the general election in 18 states -- including Florida -- signaling that he intends to wage a strong campaign in the state he once boycotted.
Looking friendly without a tie, Obama tries to dispel the GOP-fueled perception that he's a stuffy elitist who doesn't bleed red, white and blue. In fact, the ad is called ""Country I Love." The Illinois senator talks about being raised by his single mom and grandparents with "values straight from the Kansas heartland."
Check it out and please give feedback in comments.
I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

Raised by a single mom, my butt. For 3 years maybe. Her first and second husbands (Barack, Sr. and the other Soetoro) were both Muslim. He conveniently doesn't mention them.

More and more information has come out about Obama. He has a history of corruption summarized in the U Tube Video "Obama's Strange Bedfellows" and a particularly nasty criminal story also on U Tube "6/18 Larry Sinclare's press conference".
Clinton never conceded and there is a strong PUMA movement online challenging the questionable Democrat's selection process. (Like Florida's half votes). I hope she cam pull our butts out of the fire. Obama is bad news.
