My "3:00 AM" ad for Obama...Final version.

60 sec spot:

Opening scene, close-up on phone ringing, as in Hillary Clinton's original "3:00 am" ad.

Butler walks across the room and answers the phone. He listens for a moment: "Understood, sir. I'll attempt to awaken President Romney."

Butler walks down a long hallway to an elevator; he presses the RED button, then waits for the elevator. Doors open...two Cadillacs and a couple of sports cars are already in the elevator; Butler squeezes in. We wait with him as the elevator makes it's way to destination. Finally, doors open.

A golf cart, looking like a mini SUV and driven by an SS man in dark glasses, awaits outside the elevator door. They begin driving down a very long hallway with ornate fixtures and deep red carpeting.

The golf cart must stop for an obstruction in the hallway; it is Seamus, Romney's dog, in a crate; SS man straps the crate on top of golf cart; they proceed down hallway.

They reach "Presidential Suite." Butler must enter security code, and looks into security camera over the door, awaiting response...

Cam display shows Romney dressed in a Batman suit. Romney:
"This had better be important, Jeeves!"

View of Butler in b&w security cam screen: "Sir, it appears that some foreign missiles have entered our airspace. Shall I convene the Joint Chiefs?"

Romney: "Didn't I outsource that stuff to China? Gosh, darn it...Ann, wake up honey...I've got a prob...Screen bursts from bright red to black.

Closing shot: "I'm Barrack Obama, and some guy on DU wrote this message. But I still approve it."
