Whoah. New anti McCain ad to Paul Simon's "American Tune"...

[speedoo]

It's not from Obama/Biden or DNC.

It's pretty damn powerful. Scenes of a family... despair... foreclosure.

And then a pic of McCain with Bush, laughing.

1. I just caught it on MSNBC and posted in the Video Forum, here is the link

American Tune
Americans are struggling.


RealtyTrac® reports that from October 2008, home foreclosures have increased 21 percent from September 2007; one in every 475 U.S. housing units received a foreclosure filing in September 2008. The Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment numbers stayed at over six percent, or nearly 10 million, unemployed in September. The National Coalition on Health Care reports 47 million Americans are without healthcare insurance.

We need a new direction.

That's why we're supporting Barack Obama for President, and that's why we're running this ad on CNN and MSNBC this weekend.

6. That song has always moved me to tears.

Great commercial. Thanks for sharing that. I hope many people see it before Tuesday.

7. One of my favorites

and I dreamed I was flying...

debatably better than "America" by S&G

That commercial really was moving. Does remind you of some of the things you love about America and how much it sucks to see those things get battered and crushed.
