The RNC made a good decision here to hedge its incomprehensibility with a disclaimer in the first frame: “Political Satire.” So remember when you’re watching this ad: it’s just “Political Satire.” You cannot apply for an ObamaCard because there is no such thing. “Political Satire.” Speaking of credit cards, remember when all-but-one of these very Republicans voted to preserve the ObamaCard companies’ usurious practices today? [Boston Globe]
A “priceless” parody? OMG, what a great idea!. I only wish I’d though of that first.
Clearly there’s no one under the age of 58 working in PR for the GOP.
MC to sue the RNC in 5..4..3..
Ha, Mastercard! You’re either laughing at the take-offs on their commercials or you’re drowning in debt because you actually believed all that shit was priceless.
this is awful
“There are some things your tax dollars shouldn’t buy.” Like a war in Iraq?
Pointless, back-asswards war: $1 trillion.
Forcing money on rich assholes: $700 billion.
Cutting taxes on your friends: $1.6 trillion.
Telling the guy who has to clean up your messes to take responsibility for his actions: Priceless.
I was hoping they’d use Spuds Mackenzie and the “Whazzzup?” Guys.
Damn it! I was all on board with the Hopey train until the RNC won me over with their powerful, persuasive, commercial inspired logic. Finally I understand how bad NObama is. Excuse me. I have to go teabag somebody.
hahahah! that’s right, the bail-out was to pay back cronies, ie., save the country from economic collapse.
dumokrats are suckers!!!1!
…or $500 sneakers, $3000 custom suits, boutique breed dogs, and private schools when you climbed on by claiming some remote credential about “the struggle” or the neighborhood.
Not to mention, as some of the adroit(sane, rational) comments point out, things like the dog and tickets Obama pays for out of his own pocket.
This is the first tip I’ve had used!
My Wonkette cherry is popped.
We did get something, a gift, after the election. A man up in Massachusetts heard Michelle on the radio mention the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog. And believe it or not, the day before we left on this White House trip we got a message from Union Station in Baltimore, saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was? It was a little Portugese Water dog, in a crate that he had sent all the way from Massachusetts, black, hypoallergenic, and our little girl Malia, the six year old, named it Bo. And you know, the kids, like all kids, love the dog, and I just want to say this, right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we’re gonna keep it.
Just wait until they roll out the Democrat Socialist Party ads next week. I’m guessing they’ll use the “where’s the beef” lady something equally fresh.
tootsieroll: Spend your $500 gift certificate well!!!!
JMP: Where have I read this before?
Some say that this ad contains several blatant lies, but what you don’t know is that Bo was paid for entirely with Texas food stamps. Your taxpayer dollars at work, my friends.
tootsieroll: Wonkette actually uses those tips?! And I thought it was just a prank…
Serolf Divad: As long as the one guy who gives approval at the top of the chain is an ornery self-hating pencil dick, everyone below him may as well be too, since it’s his aesthetic everyone else must crave to fulfill, if you will.
Rush Limbaugh Dies of Kidney Failure
Also 6 bullet holes
Political Satire, HA HA
That dude slipping Barry some skin would have been dead on his feet had that been George sitting courtside.
Iz-next: Dayvair…
GooseInANoose: considering the dogshit the administration is feeding reporters about the torture photos, I guess it was food stamps well-spent.
And jesus, maybe the next time they do one of these things they shouldn’t use a picture where Barry looks so fucking cute I’d not only slip him my Mastercard, I’d throw in my hotel key as well.
That voice actor sucks. Couldn’t they have gotten Cam Clarke or something?
Custerwolf: Nixon’s Checkers speech.
Custerwolf: It’s a very famous speech! Replace Massachusetts with Texas, Michelle with Pat, Portugese water dog with cocker spaniel, Malia with Tricia, and Bo with Checkers to get the original.
Advocatus_Diaboli: You didn’t honestly think the ponderous momentum of governmental stupidity was going to suddenly halt when Obama was sworn in, did you?
SayItWithWookies: JMP: Thank you.
Advocatus_Diaboli: I’m sorry, but responding to your comment would endanger the trooperoos.
Oh I get it. Barry’s hangin’ with another brotha’ at an NBA game (WHO plays in the NBA but, you know, darkies?) And you know you can’t trust them with da moniez–they just buy the bling. So, I would have to say this ad hits the nail on the head, if by nail you mean the demographic consisting of my WW II vet great uncle who has not managed to move on to the word “negro” yet (although he will say “fuzzy wuzzy” in polite company). Well played, RNC!
What? No line items about male prositutes, free clothes and coke ‘ho’s? I had assumed that was the reason most of the GOP entered into politics.
Dang! Sen Kennedy charged Barry two large for that mutt? I hope Barry got some air miles on his plastic at least.
And Republicans just can’t do satire, can they? Between the Half-Hour News Hour, An American Carol, Mallard Fillmore, and these ads, every attempt has been an utter unfunny failure.
They have to label everything POLITICAL SATIRE now, since that “Under my Bus” ad came out. It was so well-made, people thought that the GOP was actually accusing Barry of running people over with a goddam bus.
I wonder if they’ve considered a PR option that didn’t include being total assholes?
ZOMG, CREDIT CARDS ARE SOCIALIST!!!! SOCIALISM! IT’S EVERYWHERE I WANT TO BE!!!!!
Was that narrated by Mitt Romney?
And speaking of Irish spectacles (okay, so I’m a few threads late), does anyone know if I can get one of these with a Mastercard?

John Edward’s Career = Political Satire
SayItWithWookies: WIN.
Um. cue the inigo montoya line. at this point I don’t think I even know what “political satire” means anymore. Lame, mean-spirited nonsense? Non-funny bullshit? Chrome trucknutz?
Not sure what is funnier - that the GOP thinks of the 54% of Americans in favor of the stimulus bill as it passed as the President’s “political cronies” or that Americans dislike like credit cards.
tootsieroll: You mean the tip thing isn’t just to get valid email addresses Ken and his minions can sell to Viagra/Porn spammers?!?!?!?
OMG - who is this???? http://i389.photobucket.com/albums/oo336/brontie2/co.jpg
I want one too!!!
IonaTrailer: I’m afraid we’re going to have to mud-wrestle to see who gets him….first.
Does anyone else have a John McCain re-election advert on the LH column?
ObamaCard ads come out on the day the Republickers vote to kiss the asses of the real credit card companies. Priceless.
Ich bin ein Democrat-Socialist.
That ugly dog cost $2,000? And it was paid for with taxpayer money?? I’m paying for Obama’s basketball tickets???
Now I’m pissed.
The only thing that ad made me realize is how much I want Barry to keep wearing that black leather jacket in public. Rrreow.
AxmxZ: Amen to that. I haven’t wanted to fuck a president this bad since JFK.
I look forward to the protests from the parents of the kids at the game.
What is this Obama Card and how do I sign up?
The “Political Satire” warning was thrown in so the credit card companies wouldn’t get mad.
ManchuCandidate: Wasabi!
JMP: I thought is was an homage to Where The Red Fern Grows.
rmontcal: I cried to that book at least 7 or 8 thousand times.
