Podcasts about obama campaign

Joy Reid begins tonight's ReidOut with the election's final stretch. We take you to a star-studded rally near Atlanta, a must-win for Democrats, featuring Bruce Springsteen and Spike Lee, headlining for Kamala Harris and Barack Obama. It is the first time Harris and Obama are campaigning together for her presidential bid, although they have a long history of collaboration. Despite this high-profile support, the media has largely fixated on Harris calling Trump a fascist, downplaying the fact that Trump's own former officials—like retired generals John Kelly and Mark Milley—have said the same. Listen now.

Vice President Harris and former President Obama shared the stage tonight in Georgia at their first campaign event together with 12 days until the election. Radio host and author Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Rye, co-host of the podcast "Native Land Pod," talk about the state of the presidential race and how the media covers this election.

Steve Schale ran President Obama's two Florida victory campaigns and he knows Florida politics inside and out.  He and Roger discuss whether Florida is in play for the Biden campaign, how Democrats can reassemble the Obama coalition, the Florida Senate race, the latest on the Florida abortion ballot amendment, and more.

Today we chat with Mark Putnam, a national media strategist and ad maker for over three decades, and founder of the media firm Putnam Partners. His work bridges the political and non-political worlds, serving as one of President Obama's lead ad makers and the lead ad maker for President Biden's "Unite the Country" super PAC, as well as helping elect 11 governors, 10 U.S. senators and dozens of members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Mark has created some of the most talked-about political advertising campaigns of the last decade, including the "Background Checks" TV ad featuring U.S. Senate candidate Jason Kander assembling an AR-15 assault weapon while blindfolded that Politico called "the most memorable ad of 2016." Mark's viral video for congressional candidate and former CIA operative Valerie Plame was likened to a "spy thriller campaign ad" by Slate Magazine. Mark also produced advertising to help elect Doug Jones in the 2017 Alabama special election for U.S. Senate. Mark's advertising for breakout congressional candidate and Internet phenomenon Amy McGrath set the standard for viral political advertising in 2018 - earning millions of YouTube views and sparking dozens of national news stories. Mark's firm also helped elect 16 new members of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 – more wins than any other Democratic media firm - and helped re-elect 12 incumbents in 2020, ranging from 10 U.S. Representatives, the Governor of North Carolina and the Mayor of Richmond, VA. Mark's highest profile project was creating Barack Obama's 2008 election eve 30-minute television special that aired simultaneously on seven networks and was viewed by over 35 million people. The Washington Post television critic Tom Shales called it "somehow both poetic and practical, spiritual and sensible... a montage of montages, a series of seamlessly blended segments." https://www.putnampartners.net/ https://www.vimeo.com/putnampartners

With confirmation hearings for Joe Biden's Supreme Court Nominee beginning in the US Senate, Charlie takes a detailed, in-depth look at the candidate in question: Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson. He unpacks her troubling past serving as a 'zealous' defender of Gitmo detainees, her ties to the Obama Campaign, and her affinity for Critical Race Theory teachings before diving in to a truly sickening trend highlighted by Senator Josh Hawley about Judge Brown's proclivity to under-sentence child pornographers and other sex predators who prey on children. What does all of this mean for the future of the Supreme Court? How should the GOP respond? Will Biden get his nominee pushed through despite all of this? Those questions and more are answered in-depth throughout this explosive episode of The Charlie Kirk Show.

It was Election Day 2008, and Kobe was doing afternoons on B94 in Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania was a swing state and even the music DJ's were getting calls from various campaigns and their celebrity surrogates. Jason Mraz called in to Kobe's show on behalf of Barack Obama...and then things got weird.

So, he joined the Obama Campaign for Change in 2008 as a Field Organizer in the battleground states of Texas and Florida, finding his love for community organizing and engagement, and slowly working his way back into playing shape. After the campaign was over, he moved to Washington D.C. where fostered his gift for advocacy and began establishing himself as a musician-to-know in the vibrant jazz scene of Chocolate City.Upon Aaron's arrival in our Nation's Capital, he immediately began activating spaces for live performances around the city, ultimately serving as Resident Artist at the Black Fox Lounge for 5 years while producing over 150 shows before becoming the current Resident Artist at the storied Mr. Henry's Restaurant in Capitol Hill.

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr look at the political marketing success of the 2008 Obama Campaign, with its “Hope and Change” and compare it to the Biden Campaign of “I’m Not Trump”. Even through Obama did not keep his marketing promises, he at least had some more positive goals than Biden does. And our American Press is ignoring this reality.Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr look at the political marketing success of the 2008 Obama Campaign, with its “Hope and Change” and compare it to the Biden Campaign of “I’m Not Trump”. Even through Obama did not keep his marketing promises, he at least had some more positive goals than Biden does. And our American Press is ignoring this reality.Considering the accepted election results of 80,000,000 votes for Biden, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr try to figure out why only 20% of Americans think Biden can bring the people together and unify the Country. The reality is the first thing Biden did as President was to kill 70,000 jobs! He is allowing the unconstitutional impeachment of a former President to go forward, and he is not shutting down talk of “deprogramming” half of the entire Nation. And the Biden Administration is only one week old! Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, believe the idea of trying to “de-program” 74,000,000 Americans to be more than absurd. It actually is dangerous. The American Mamas find this to be the lowest level of stupidity possible coming from those elitist, self-righteous mouths! And not surprisingly, every news outlet is reporting this extremist chatter of how one half of the Nation is “brainwashed”. The media spent four years putting out a false narrative about Donald Trump. Now they are coming after everyone who voted for him.Amazon clearly is not interested in fairness or consistency. During the 2020 elections, Amazon owner Jeff Bezos was adamant that almost all Americans should be able to vote-by-mail. Now, Amazon is adamantly opposed to its warehouse employees in Bessemer, Alabama being to vote-by-mail on whether or not to unionize. Amazon is demanding the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) require only voting-in-person be permitted!In September, 2020, then President Donald Trump created the 1776 Commission for the purpose of encouraging “our educators to teach your children about the miracle of American history” and to “make plans to honor the 250th anniversary of our founding” in 2026. As one of his first acts as President, Joe Biden cancelled the 1776 Commission, and removed its report from the White House website.

Period," said Rep. Paul Gosar, an Arizona Republican and staunch Trump supporter, told the crowd Wednesday.Observers from both major political parties were inside the election center as ballots were processed and counted, and the procedure was live-streamed online at all times.Several sheriff's deputies blocked the entrance to the building. The vote-counting went on into the night, Maricopa County Elections Department spokeswoman Megan Gilbertson said."Everyone should want all the votes to be counted, whether they were mailed or cast in person," said the statement issued by two top county officials — one a Democrat and the other a Republican.

She ended up being “loaned” to Mrs Obama to write her convention speech in ‘08. She was so compelled by MO's warmth, smarts, and “relentless authenticity” that she took a “demotion” to work for the First Lady instead of the First Man --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nextgenpolitics/message

Since former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe published “A Citizen’s Guide to Beating Donald Trump” back in early March, there have been major developments regarding the 2020 election. Former Vice President Joe Biden became the Democratic nominee, the coronavirus pandemic escalated and the economy fell into a deep recession. Most recent polls have Trump trailing in the general election, and one poll from Berkeley IGS this week has Biden leading by 39 percentage points among California voters. But many questions are still to be answered, including who Biden will pick as his running mate, what an election looks like in a pandemic and which strategies each party should take in order to win votes. Plouffe joins Forum to talk about the book, answer those questions and discuss the latest political news.

Opening Monologue. The Tick Tock Polka. Reviewing the week of Democratic faceplants around Russian Collusion. The Uranium One scandal takes a dramatic turn, and we also learn that Hillary Clinton bought the Trump Dossier through Fusion GPS, after all, and that the Obama Campaign managed to chip in as well. Will the House Intelligence Committee soon get to see the bank records for Fusion GPS? Meanwhile, it turns out the neoconservative Washington Free Beacon publication -- edited by Matthew Continetti, son-in-law of Never Trumper Bill Kristol -- launched the early Fusion GPS "research" into Donald Trump. Are we to believe the Beacon really dropped the project before handing it over to Team Hillary? And then on to Comey's FBI? A discussion of Deep State mechanics, and a look at a long string of Backbone Radio predictions now come to pass. Plus, embattled Special Counsel Robert Mueller leaks plans for imminent indictments.

The Hypocrisy and Deception of the Obama Campaign

Obama approval rating with minorities; Obama campaign launch video parody; Trump is still rockin the birther stance; Italians are gonna dig up some dead lady cuz she may be the Mona Lisa model; Bill Cosby bashed Trump; Obama took some long questions at a town hall; LeBron James' mom was arrested.

Barack Obama's fundraising is boggling the minds of political pros in both parties. He's on track to raise more money all by himself than the record of $700 million combined set by Bush and Kerry four years ago. We debate public financing today, update the early voting, and talk to a skeptic about the integrity of voting systems around the country. Also, oil prices heading back up, and Planet Earth and the "ecological credit crunch."

When Barack Obama says it's a "smear" to call him a Muslim, Muslim supporters have second thoughts. He's had kind words for the Palestinians, but his hard line for Israel has Arab Americans worried. Does Obama's message of unity have limits?  Is he distancing himself from voters who could make a difference?  Also, the Bush Administration on Iran and climate change.
