Political Ad Music: John Edwards in Iowa

I'm not sure if political ads count as "commercial music," but hey, this blog averages a post every six months so surely no one will complain. I just learned, a bit behind in the news, that John Edwards has pledged to cut Congressional health insurance as President if they don't pass a universal health care coverage bill in the first six months of his administration. Check it (source):
On the first day of Edwards' administration, he will submit legislation that ends health care coverage for the president, all members of Congress, and all senior political appointees in the legislative and executive branches of government on July 20th, 2009 -- unless Congress has enacted universal health care reform.
Even better, his Iowa campaign ad features The Final Countdown, which I have to admit that I didn't know who sang it until writing this entry. Here's a hint.

Too bad the President doesn't have that power. Not to imply that I wish he did, just that anyone with a enough brainpower to pull the lever and vote should know that and not fawn over empty, nonsense promises.

De bonnes informations ici, je voudrais partager avec vous toute mon expérience en essayant d'obtenir un prêt pour développer mon activité de vêtement ici en Malaisie. J'ai eu beaucoup de mal à faire des affaires à cause de ma courte maladie, puis quand j'ai été soigné, j'ai eu besoin d'un fonds pour le reconstituer. Je suis tombé sur M. Benjamin, agent de conseil en crédit chez Le_Meridian Funding Service. moi, mon projet d’entreprise et je lui ai dit que j’en possédais déjà un et que j’avais juste besoin d’un prêt de 200 000,00 USD, il m’a donné un formulaire à remplir et j’ai aussi demandé mon ID valide dans quelques jours. . Je souhaite vraiment apprécier leurs efforts et essayer de le transmettre également à toute personne à la recherche d'un prêt commercial ou d'autres problèmes financiers.
