The Perfect Obama Ad Right Now

[WeDidIt]

Show footage of Lehman Brothers employees removing personal effects (from yesterday)

Over voice: The banks are in crisis.

Footage of foreclosure signs on houses.

Over Voice: People are losing their homes.

fade to black.

Over Voice: And THIS man wants YOUR vote:

Footage of John McCain stating he doesn't know much about the economy.

Over Voice: Can you afford to vote for John McCain?

Obama: I'm Barack Obama and I approve this ad.

1. Add a clip of KKKarl Rove saying McCain was lying in his ads

and you have a winning combination.

3. No - conflicting messages...

besides, the sleazy campaign message is already here: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1185304443?bctid=1786848892

2. Sounds good

And maybe also first including footage of the Enron employees removing their personal effects, to show it's more of the same and will only get worse unless we change course.

4. I think that would make a great ad. nt.

5. I like it..with some tweaks here and there it is a very good ad.

6. I would suggest one tweak:

Take out the economy part and add in Phil Gramm - McCain's chief economic advisor - the bank lobbyist who brought us deregulation - AND - says this is all in our heads.

9. Yup. Perfect. NT

[WeDidIt]

10. I think simply insert that after

the McCain economy bit with the following voice over:

"So what does his main economic advisor say?"

And do the voice over saying "Can YOU afford to vote for John McCain?" over a still photo of McCain and Gramm together.

And that would be about a thirty second spot.

7. great idea

how do we get these ideas to the campaign - there should be a way

[WeDidIt]

8. I think these forums are observed.

If somebody in the campaign likes it, they'll use it.

11. You can call the Obama HQ in Chicago or email them, they've been open to suggestions.

...and this is a good simple point.

Thx

12. With a sister ad bringing up Keating 5.

Win.

13. In addition to the footage where he states he knows little about the economy,

I think the footage of TODAY'S proclamation that the fundamentals of the economy are strong should be included. He is either lying or clueless.
