@Dave2: I have the book but it’s currently in the “To Read” pile. Hope to get to it soon as I’ll I’ve heard is good reports.

Thanks for clarifying the “Approved By” tagline. It does make a lot of sense when you consider it in terms of negative campaigning.

His book, “The Audacity of Hope,” is well worth a read. He has real vision and hope for this country. Heaven only knows we need both.

The “Approved By” tagline is a requirement here for ALL ads. A little silly when it’s the candidate themselves, but the overall goal of the law is a good one: make candidates accept full responsibility for what is said in their name. Now a campaign can’t sling mud, then have their candidate claim they had nothing to do with it. They’re trying to extend it to the internet now.

@jazz biscuit: It is quite odd alright. It must be a requirement for all election related ads.

Odd the way it has to say ‘approved by barack obama’ in an ad by him starring him.
