2008 “The Middle Class First”
posted by on August 13 at 9:35 AM
Finally, a strong comeback from the Obama campaign to John McCain’s “Country First” mantra:
This is exactly what Obama needs to do: Shut down the claim that he’s somehow putting America’s needs behind his own needs (his needs as a celebrity, his needs as a Muslim Manchurian candidate, whatever the insinuation ends up being) and move the conversation right back to the ground that McCain and the Republicans are weakest on: the economy, Iraq, the legacy of Bush, and the growing divide between rich and poor in this country.
It sometimes takes a while for campaigns to hit on the right comeback (see, esp.: all the things John McCain’s camp threw against the wall before the “celebrity” meme stuck). Looks to me like team Obama has finally settled in on the right one-two punch of a response.
Has the celebrity meme stuck? I was unaware. What's awesome is that Mike Myers, who owns the copyright to the Wayne's World footage in the McCain celebrity ad, asked the campaign to stop using it. McCain's response: "a celebrity backlash!"
Doesn't Obamaland look clean and appealing? All those strong blues and sunrise tones. Not sure about the visual coup of awarding McCain what seems to be a lengthy book, though. Gives him too much visual gravitas.
We won't support spine-less NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November!!! Go Hillary 2012.
Got debt?
Cause the budget deficit TRIPLED this month compared to last year.
Not to mention 38 percent of all US corporations paid NO INCOME TAX this past year.
And John "Red Bush" McCain wants even MORE tax cuts for the ultra-rich and corporations.
Content aside, is anyone doing campaign ads without the stupid deep scary voice?
Will can you back up your big business statistics? I would like to cite that information for future reference...
This ad is too vague. Saying McCain supported 95% of the Bush agenda doesn't make people say "WTF?". Obama needs to drive home the abrasive details of the Bush legacy that McCain and the neo-con Republicans supported. Divide and conquer. Blaming McCain's party of deregulation and greed for the housing crash would be a good start. Oh, and start using McCains don't know much about the economy lines.
Election years are like Christmas for scary, deep-voiced narrators.
Fees and royalties from this year keep 'em going for another four.
Hey, we could use some work here!

stop laughing!
