Hate to waste my 3rd GDP post - but could someone post a transcript of the Obama WI ad please?

Also throw in the Hillary ad so I can read what is being said - not easy for a deaf person to watch Youtube stuff without captioning....

6. Here's a transcript of Obama's ad.

Script of Obama Ad “Debate”After 18 debates, with two more coming, Hillary says Barack Obama is ducking debates?

It’s the same old politics, of phony charges and false attacks. On health care, even Bill Clinton’s own Labor Secretary says Obama covers more people than Hillary and does more to cut costs, saving $2,500 for the typical family.

Obama’s housing plan, it stems foreclosures and cracks down on crooked lenders.

That’s change we can believe in.

I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message.

7. Have you seen this Diary on Daily Kos: "Why This Deaf Woman Supports Obama"

Why This Deaf Woman Supports Obama

I'm writing this diary to explain to you what initially drew me to Barack Obama's campaign. It was a year ago, when I heard about Project Readon, a site that captions internet videos for free. I'm deaf, and the internet has left me behind when it comes to accessibility in internet media. I can't watch CNN videos, MSNBC videos, download media from network shows and movies onto my iPod or laptop that has captioning, and I didn't have that access until I found Project Readon.

slinkerwink's diary :: ::
And there was a video on that site. It was an outline of Barack Obama's plan to empower Americans with disabilities. Project Readon said that Barack Obama's campaign was the first website to sign up to caption their videos. They asked other candidates to join in, but they didn't. The Republicans said no to Project Readon, which shows the lack of care that the Republican party has shown to Americans with disabilities.

I looked at Hillary Clinton's website. None of her videos are captioned, and she doesn't provide a link to Project Readon where you can find her videos. Barack Obama does provide that link, which you can find here with the green button that says "Closed Captioning."

You click on that link, and you see a whole line of videos with closed captioning in them. That really meant a lot to me as a deaf American, who relies on captioning to get information about the outside world.

I also read Barack Obama's plan for Americans with disabilities. They also provided a link to sign up in a Disability Discussion group to talk about policies that can help disabled Americans. His efforts to expand the dialogue to deaf and hard-of-hearing people like me tells me what kind of a leader he'd be in this area.

Hillary Clinton hasn't shown that leadership at all to me. I tried to tune in for her Hallmark town hall meeting, and it wasn't captioned at all. Her television ads here in Washington D.C., in which there is a very sizeable deaf community right next to Gallaudet University, the nation's first deaf university, are not captioned at all. Barack Obama's television ads are captioned here.

That is a part of the reason why I support Barack Obama because he's led on this area when Hillary Clinton hasn't. His actions match his words. Her actions don't at all.

9. Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's websites have....

...closed-captioning of some of their videos.

On Obama's website, the captions are actually in those videos, and therefore in sync.

On Hillary Clinton's website, the captions are in a separate window, and it takes effort to get the captions in-sync with the video.
