New Obama ad "Always" - Pushback on the out-of-context lie (video)



Well done IMHO.


EDIT TO ADD: transcript

"Those ads taking my words about small business out of context; they're flat out wrong. Of course Americans build their own business. Everyday hard-working people sacrifice to meet a payroll, create jobs, and make our economy run.

And what I said was that we need to stand behind them as America always has. By investing in education, training, roads and bridges, research and technology. I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message because I believe we're all in this together."

He has to explain what he meant. The MSM should make Rmoney a laughing stock over this. But they give him a pass, and go along with him. The MSM give ALL dipshit GOP candidates a pass.

He couldn't tell the truth, even if he knew it. He is a Dinkus Maximus Americanus.

Talking directly to voters is effective and engaging.

Also love that he said the out-of-context lie was "flat out wrong." And he did it so casually not accusatory.

It's been so frustrating all of these decades hearing, seeing, reading all of the crap and NO RESPONSE TO IT, as though if we just keep quiet it will go away and people will forget. Wrong!

These ads feel as though we're standing up and "not taking it anymore"!

...is that we can keep sharing it in response to our wingnut detractors who try to make little cartoons lampooning the president.

I'm glad he got it out there early. Remember when they kept insisting that Gore claimed he invented the Internet?

Bastards.
