What? No Swahili terrorist chatter? This ad is NOT for Barack Obama.

Anybody! Process the frames of Barack Obama's grandmother through some kind of powerful computer and find out her 'typicality level'! I'd say she's a 4 out of 10 in terms of how typical she is.

Nifty mobile terrorist Winnebago that they plot their Muslim seances from.

What gave him a lot of depth and broadness of view? That is an oddly cut passage.

But otherwise a smart commercial. Cute kids. Check. Old white people. Check. Blue-collar looking white lady. Check. Diverse family. Check. Wearing common man clothes. Check.

Actually, Hillz has a couple of pretty good ads for Penn. The Scranton one actually makes her seem human.

Not a bad idea, having ads with him posing with WHITE people. Who happen to be his BLOOD RELATIVES. His ANCESTORS.

Play the race card if you want to win this thing, Barry. Average 'Murican voter is probably more racist than we'd like to admit. Need some more friendly white faces; keep them from getting nervous. Remind them EVERY DAMN DAY you're a white man , too.

More white people in those ads!

@lascauxcaveman: If Richardson was mowing the lawn, this ad would be absolutely flawless.

Barry's grandma was a second away from calling him "articulate."

Also, Barack can make sure everyone's kids have the same opportunity as his own by siring my babies.

I like how they cut off grandma before she had a chance to say anything nasty about his deadbeat father.

So his maternal grandmother is still alive but his mother passed away a long while ago? what is that all about?

@Miss Perception: One got breast cancer, and the other didn't.

If I'm a straight man, and I think Obama's sister is hot (in a well-padded, milfy way), and Obama's sister bears a fair resemblance to Obama, does that make me gay for Obama?

@FloraWay: Sad story. That advertisement would have been perfect if they had left out the Rottweiler (Michelle).

@FlakJack: No but it does make you a Rice Queen.

@Miss Perception: A brown rice queen.

Loving the Obamabago. And granny. More granny please.

@vanitysmurf: Hmmmm...that makes me hungry for some brown rice sushi. I am ordering out tonight.

Was Larry Sinclair in this video? We didnt' see Larry Sinclair. Where was Larry Sinclair?!

Just a stirrin' things up a bit!

@FlakJack: All references to gayness with Barry are a-okay. I am straight and I would take him behind the barn under sniper fire.

Soetoro-Ng is an anagram for "Son to Gore". Conspiracy, anyone?

@Patty Dumpling: or "Negros Too"

@RooseveltFranklin: Jesus. It was there all along.

@Miss Perception: Speaking of Obama's mama...

Here's a Seattle Times article reminiscing on her lost years in Mercer Island (Including a HS yearbook photo of her sassy, saucy self.)

[seattletimes.nwsource.com]

I think that is good material from Barack Obama. Like the other day, it shows his mojo is definitely back.

I liked the footage of him holding an informal Madrasah. We didn't get to see him instructing the children on how to strap on a suicide bomb - but no matter.

But seriously . . . Good vid. I've read the transcripts of the HillBot's new campaign and I think Hopey has the better angle on this.

@lascauxcaveman: Actually looks a lot like her famous candidate son, doesn't she? I can see where he gets his lips, eyebrows, etc.

@lascauxcaveman: Maybe she faked her own death so she could return to wandering the globe unburdened by the constraints of motherhood. She'll probably appear uninvited at her baby's inauguration to claim her birthright by her baby's side! I can't wait!

@lascauxcaveman: maybe that is where he got his man boobs also. Have you seen that picture of him in his swim trunks? Eck.

@Miss Perception, vanitysmurf : If being a Rice Queen is wrong, I don't want to be right.

@shortsshortsshorts: I appreciate the exemption.

@ronaldpagan: sign me up for that equal opportunity program

A few chips with your Pacifia:
Petraus, "..things must be going great because we made our quota."

Olbermann, "..Waivers for recruits with criminal backgrounds, felonies, etc, ..up 13%.

Olbermann tells of 11 election opinions from servicemen in Iraq:
4 -Obama, 1- Clinton, 1- McCain (because then he'll keep getting a pay check), 5-GET US THE F***OUT OF HERE!

It's down to six points now boys...hang in there..

Hell, I'd hit it.

@Miss Perception: Uh, those were actually pecs. I've seen enough man-boobs on cruise ships (usually accompanied by a heart surgery zipper scar and a speedo) to last me a lifetime.

@baxterthepug: I don't have anything against man boobs...it puts Obama more in touch with his feminine side...like his bowling.

i believe they're called Moobs.

there were no ruggedly handsome white males throwing bales of hay into japanese made trucks, no edible-to-terrorists infants sleeping still in the dark, no accusations and innuendos.

just real people, old and ugly, young and cheerful, black and white.

i think it's fucking awesome that i can't really be anything but proud of the campaign i support:DUNHAM 08

(sikeobama!)

Memo to Obama advertising edit team: great vid except for the final few frames - to wit: 1. throughout the ad we are hearing a lot about girls, but it's not immediately evident whether the last child is a boy or a girl, which is a distraction 2. the last child could be Asian or Hispanic, broadening the ethnic scope 3. Obama is glancing down at the very end, looking - to my eyes at least - concerned. Probably better to end with him looking up, and smiling. The last image is the one most people will remember.

Memo to Obama advertising team: make Obama's sister look thinner.

Memo to RssDude: make your brain look bigger.

@rictus: I'm not saying she's obese (she's not), but Obama is the one who openly talks about the massive cost of obesity to national health care costs. Might as well start at home.

Where do these people fit in with the future cabinet?

@Guppy06: behind the Comet.. oh, ho that one never gets old...

@FloraWay: Unfortunately, no one in Scranton is human. They are actually shapeshifting 'lifelike' kielbasa.

Did I actually see Barack's white grandma or am I recalling a subliminal image?

@Gobama: I would happily volunteer to go on a fact-finding mission -- whether or not under sniper fire -- to confirm the exact nature of the fine Senator's chest-ular region.

Now I'm trying to imagine what would happen if McCain made a similar commercial...I suspect his nearest and dearest have some very DIFFERENT kinds of memories.

You think the Clintons were bad? Just wait until THESE people are running around the White House!

Guy's still a commie.

She looked uncomfortable without her purdah on.

rssdude - okay, point granted. though an alternative would be for Obama to simply stop talking about the bad effects of obesity, which as an added benefit, would probably swing him a few Republican votes.
