This is why it’s a web-ad and not a TV ad, read the announcement in the first post! We would love to do a TV ad to this effect, but how do you get more than 2 clips of Obama - that first clips is priceless and look how long it runs.

What I saw was a YouTube video, not an advertisement. The headline called it an ad. The announcement said, “watch this web ad” but never made clear that the so-called “ad” only existed as a YouTube clip.

Advertisers pay money to be shown to third parties. In what sense is a YouTube clip an ad? These PACs raise money on the premise that they will help political candidates to victory, but what money was spent in that pursuit? The only people the ad is pitched to are the people being solicited to pay for the ad. Therefore, it’s not really an anti-Obama ad at all, but merely a high-tech panhandling scheme that borders on fraud.
