I've Got the Obama Super Bowl Ad that will Run in 23 States and DC Tonight

[MadBadger]

He is doing it through Local fox stations and not national ads, so it is Okay

Check if out. Let me know what you think

[NJSecularist]

1. That's a great ad.

It is what it needs to be given the circumstances: upbeat.

Nobody wants to watch a sad ad during the Super Bowl.

[Sulawesi]

2. moves a bit fast for me...

[Tellurian]

45. Obama'svoice sounds hollow and disingenuous..and the text thing...donors- hello!

[Indenturedebtor]

56. Yeah

You have to get your money from somewhere when you cut out large segments of the lobbyist piggy bank. Rather your candidate be beholden to the people or the Oligarchy?

[boston bean]

3. oh he finally figured out how to run local ads vs. national. how smart of him. nt

[Ava]

6. why the snark?

so you support hillary... don't go into obama threads to be snarky towards his supporters.

the hostility between folks both in the democratic party on on DU these days is absolutely disgusting. this come from someone who supported edwards because of this hostility(and because he was the best candidate imo).

[boston bean]

7. Excuse me little one, but I can go into any thread i want and be as snarky as I want to be

I am sick of the damned hypocrisy on this board and I will point it out everytime I see it.

[alteredstate]

12. Yes, you can!

:)

[Ava]

18. yes, we can?

:rofl: :hi: ;)

[1corona4u]

51. ...

[Ava]

55. i have a feeling that "yes we can" was said many many times

before United Farm Workers ;)
of course it was UFW's slogan and they made it popular(or more so "sí se puede")... the being said, the obama video and his yes we can speech were freaking amazing and he has really adopted it well.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

42. Jesus God, I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.

Well done! Thanx.

[VolcanoJen]

13. "Little one"??

What's next, "You kids get the hell out of my damned yard!"?

:shrug:

[Ava]

i don't mind

i'm young and idealistic, not old, snarky, and immature as hell. i can live with that considering what the flip side is on that little argument with them. ;)

[HCE SuiGeneris]

44. Does it come with a gratuitous pat on the head?

'cause otherwise, it doesn't really seem sincere. :evilgrin:

[Drunken Irishman]

19. "In my day..."

[Ava]

23. well it's my day now be-yotch!

oh.. i though i was just playing along with the stupid "little one" act :rofl: ;)


:hide:

[bleever]

49. *hilk*

:rofl: Another good one.

[Ava]

14. alright big one

if you want to make a fool of yourself go right ahead.. my little self will be holding myself with a higher amount of maturity than that.

enjoy yourself!

[GoldieAZ49]

43. It is your day, and your generation

that this election will impact the most

I hope that the 18-29 vote will have record turn out and vote for their future

Hopefully you will never grow into a hopeless bitter old prude like some of the posters here.


Baraaaaaaaaaack the VOTE!

[UndergroundEcoHound]

16. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"little one"...the condescension never stops. Get over yourself. Your camp spews as much hypocrisy as anyone.

[Alexander]

36. You can be obnoxious and belittling, but it doesn't speak well of your candidate

or her supporters.

[GoldieAZ49]

41. you do have the snarky photo to match

:puke:

[alteredstate]

32. Watch out, little one!

MassDemm can be as snarky as he/she wants to be!

And don't you forget it!

:hi:

[Ava]

35. big bullies!

I want my mommy! waaaaahhhh! :cry:


:rofl: ;)

[Yael]

33. Ha!!

:rofl:

[1corona4u]

52. Looks like more of the same to me.....

Yawwwnnn....

[ShortnFiery]

4. Thanks.

:hi:

[Ava]

5. good ad, although i wish

they'd air "yes we can".. which i know they can't show the whole thing because it is too long but they should air clips of it.

[stellanoir]

28. The power of the "Yes We Can" would be tough to capture in 30 seconds.

But then you're the oh so talented videographer so I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know. :hi:

Still for him to have secured a 30 second spot on the Super Bowl in the "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" states is a major coup.

I stole that Mary Poppins reference by proxy from Doonesbury. . .

[Ava]

31. it would be hard but not impossible

it wouldn't be as powerful but it'd still be pretty damn powerful. i wish they could afford to start airing it all. however, the internet has proven to be very important this election season. ;)

i just love "yes we can"

[stellanoir]

48. Well I was just thinking about how a large part of its power

lies in the diversity of voices involved.

"Yes we can" is an equally great affirmative catch phrase to "Peace takes Courage" IMHO.

:hug:

[VolcanoJen]

8. Fantastic ad. I'm very impressed.

The music is great... and the rhythm of the ad and the new look to it appeals to the young, new voter as well.

[alteredstate]

9. I love that ad.

Thanks for the link.

[livetohike]

10. I like it. It reminded me of RFK......

Yes, I know that was a long time ago, but I'm "old" :-). This ad was short, sweet and to the point.

:thumbs up:

[Barack_America]

11. Anyone tried the text yet?

Just curious.

Glad to see that $32 million go to good use!

[tishaLA]

26. Yeah I get updates for local events etc

and it helps me to stay on top of my phonebanking!

[GoldieAZ49]

47. waiting for it to air

it will give them the feedback they will be tracking during the game

[Avalux]

15. Excellent! He hasn't veered off his message; still one of positivity and hope

:applause:

[RL3AO]

17. Is this new?

I could swear this has been running in Minnesota for a few weeks now.

[Ava]

20. i think i saw it the other day in alabama

i had it on mute so i can't be sure but the footage seems the same :hi:

[Drunken Irishman]

21. This is a great ad that's actually been playing in Utah for the past couple weeks!

I love it.

[BeyondGeography]

22. Smart approach...It won't hurt

which is all I worry about with an ad like that. Don't be sticking politics into my football and all that...

[K Gardner]

24. Nice ad.. glad you posted it since I don't do football, LOL !

[tishaLA]

25. It's not my favorite Obama ad

But it's probably right for the superbowl. His advert people seem to know what they are doing much more than me.

Gobama!

[MethuenProgressive]

27. Nice to see he's trying to cut back on the negativity and attacks.

"Hope" he's "Change"d.

[Liberalboy]

29. Wow

Great Ad

[jefferson_dem]

30. Stellar Ad. Not that it can compete with Hillary's hour long chat on Hallmark or anything...

:rofl:

On another note, why are there no more events on the schedule for Obama today? Super Bowl watching party...or something else?

[caligirl]

38. Isn't he going to LA to campaign with Caroline, Oprha, and his wife?

[jefferson_dem]

40. That one has been advertised as a "women only" event -- Oprah, Michelle, Caroline.

http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/michellela?source=homepage_events

[GoldieAZ49]

53. no, I heard they were going themselves, reach women that are not superbowl types

I could be wrong but I thought it was just the 3, would be better if he was there...maybe

[GoldieAZ49]

50. An Hour of Hillary

I doubt there are many that have the stomach or the ears for that

My Mom is 73 and she can't stand 5 minutes of her

Hallmark, that will capture the 'youth' voters....not

[Nailzberg]

34. eh.

Not such a good ad, IMO.

[ticapnews]

37. Kennedy-esque

"The world as it is is not the world as it has to be."

"Some men see the world as it is and ask 'Why?' I dream things that never were and ask, 'Why not?'"

[GoldieAZ49]

54. thanks, I remember that

[GoldieAZ49]

39. very nice!!!

upbeat good range of states

Playing in my state I will text in!

[polichick]

46. Nice energy...

And colorful visuals ~ right for the audience!
