THE GOOD, THE AD AND THE UGLY (Firm that wrote Eastwood ad worked for Obama campaign)
thedaily.com ^ | February 7, 2012 | By Luke Jerod Kummer and Erik Hayden

The creative minds behind the ad are in the agency’s Portland, Ore., branch. Aaron Allen designed a poster for the 2008 Obama campaign and Jimm Lasser designed a basketball sneaker called the “Obama Force One,” with an image of the president on the soles and the message “A Black Man Runs and a Nation Is Behind Him.” Lasser displayed the shoe in a 2008 gallery exhibition with the tagline “The Dunk on McCain.”

DANG, wish I’d written that headline.

( That’s the second time that happened to me today. I had a piece going called “We Are All Catholics Now” and some other writer has one published today by that name. )

Chrysler spends $7 million on this commercial and not even a Thank You to the American Taxpayer for bailing them out.

“well thank Dubya!”

Well, we give thanks for giving us years of blaming Bush. It is three years gone and you still blame Ole George? Get a life and think about the true blame. So sad if this is what you think when you go for Barry's b.s.

Half-time in America is right.

We have a half-assed half breed in the White House and a collection of half-assed half-wits in the Congress.

Conservatives Missing "Good Stuff"

Conservative talk radio, Rush, Hannity et al should just play about 90 seconds of this radio interview with the Chrysler/Fiat CEO the morning after the ad - starting at about 4:07. Some very conservative comments: "I think the fundamental values that drive this country are sacred..." etc.

The ad gave me the message that Obama is halfway through his eight years, and we should all support him

You saw that subliminal message too? If you find the right Youtube video online, while you can't play it in slo-motion, you can repeatedly hit the pause/start button and see the subliminal message saying Obama is good Obama is your savior, Vote Obama in 2012

It's true, I saw it......

“Hey Punk......you got PUNKED making this ad....”

Rush mentioned that Eastwood might have made the ad innocently and with patriotism, and wasn’t aware that he was being “played” by the White House.

Double that cost. It was a two minute ad and if i heard correctly, they cost $3.5 mil per 30 secs.
