[FrenchieCat]

1. Me likee!

[movonne]

16. Me likee too....

[CatBO]

50. Awww I was hoping for a different "Don't Know Much"...

I was hoping for that Aaron Neville/Linda Rondstadt atrocity, "I don't know much... but I know I luuuuuv you.... and that may be, all there is to know..."

All of course, sung over pictures of McCain hugging and practically humping Bush in all the various ways he has over the past 8 years.

[polichick]

2. LOL - good one!

12. McCain response: I know about being a POW

take that to the bank.

[NatBurner]

38. yep

[Ron Paul- voting BO]

39. POW

He tried to explain the forgetting how many houses (and the biden comment on kicthen tables) he had by saying he knows what it is like to not have a table to eat at when he was a POW.( No lie it was on an interview on Sunday-damn near got kicked out the house by my wife for laughing so much) .. How about the truth JSM and say the reason I now have 7 houses is because I left my first wife after an accident and married a rich barbie doll. Oh wait that to was because he was a POW!!!! The new excuse for all that went wrong in his life..

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. It is a very, very long shot of the Embrace

Hilarious.

[MorningGlow]

26. That's what I was thinking

For a :30 spot, they spend quite a lot of that time on that photo--really burn that image into the retinas. Excellent!

:rofl: And here I thought it was only us here on DU who were so well acquainted with that photo. Unless...some Obama folks hang out here...!

[liberaldem4ever]

20. That is a great ad

They need to play that one a lot.

[washingdem]

21. Yes! This is what we need.

[WCGreen]

22. One of my favorite childhood songs...

And they made it better...

I love this video...

[marlakay]

24. I think it says loud and clear we need someone

smart to fix this mess we are in. and with all of mccain's experience does anyone trust him now that he is getting old and feeble? anyone trust who he would pick to back him up if he is unable?

[FloridaJudy]

25. I *LOVE* it!

Hit 'em where they live, Obama!

All seven places.

[quantass]

27. lol!

[eleny]

28. Oh my god I love that ad

Speaking right to Boomers like me who remember that tune.

It's going to stick like an ear worm for my generation. A+++

[Raffi Ella]

29. ha!

It's playing on MSNBC right now!

:evilgrin:

[EC]

30. Wow, perfect

[Ron Paul- voting BO]

The best ad I have seen.

[Bigleaf]

[eleny]

[yellowcanine]

53. And when was the last time anyone went to a sock hop? Check out the haircuts on those guys.

Had to be pre Beatles for sure. I am guessing 1955.

[eleny]

54. That pic is 1957

Not too many changes until into the 60s with the Beatles.

[Hamlette]

34. I LOVE this ad. Have been singing it all day since I first saw it, with approval, at Sullly's site.

[mzmolly]

35. THAT'S FABULOUS!

:toast:

[Occam Bandage]

36. Hilarious.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. Hilariously perfect!

K&R

:patriot:

[safeinOhio]

40. I give it a 10

and it's great to dance to.

[Unsane]

41. FUCK YES

[treestar]

42. Terrific!

They're on top of things. They've got "the hug" pic!

[snooper2]

43. That's pretty fucking good...

:rofl:

don't know much about the economy :rofl:

[donco6]

45. Like it! Ha! n/t

[PatSeg]

46. I've been looking for the ad - thanks

I saw it a couple of times on TV. This could be the best Obama ad so far - "just like you" as pic of McCain hugging Bush is shown.

[npk]

47. Very funny indeed, n/t

K/R

[tomg]

48. Funny and Devastating. nt

[yellowcanine]

49. Wow that is great. It highlights the know nothing slant of McGrumpy's campaign in an entertaining

way. This is going to be fun.

[TTUBatfan2008]

51. I don't know if anyone else noticed...

but the fact that this is an oldie is great. It appeals to the boomer and older age groups, which includes THE MEDIA. Perhaps they'll give this ad more attention than they have been giving Obama's other ads. McCain's ads get constant airplay on the cable talk shows because they're full of baseless attacks so the media wants to discuss the "controversy" of them.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

52. The campaign should run this nonstop until November

Pithy, accurate as hell and perfect.

[samsingh]

55. where's the ad? it no longer loads from the internet sites i've tried?

[Kire]

59. it just worked for me

good luck figuring it out

it's worth it.

[WindRiverMan]

56. Brilliant!!!!!

Nuff said

[Coexist]

[Kire]

58. I hope James Taylor doesn't sue like Jackson Browne did.

Wait, wrong candidate. Sorry.
