16. Word to the fools on Rmoney's campaign: If the other guy has a popular ringtone, singing...

then you don't use it in an ad. Dunces. (I totally want that ringtone!) AND.. I have no doubt that a trending search will be "obama singing" in the next day or two.

I found a ton of places offering the ringtone, and it's listed under "most popular."

And a quick search on the internet is showing that this ad is a huge FAIL. The media is panning it because:

1) Obama can sing, and people loved this.

2) you forget what they're talking about because... well, he can sing.

3) The crowd is going wild behind him.

4) you're attempt to paint him as a capitalist crony reminds people that you're Mr. Moneybags, and you are taking Super Pac money by the billions.

Rmoney is trying to project this on Obama, but he is already famous for being one of those monied elitists who does everything for his rich friends.
