Of the many celebrity campaign excrescences lately, this is the best example of something designed more to promote the people involved than their chosen candidate. Ostensibly it’s an ad to elect Obama but in reality it’s a reminder from Michael Moore and MoveOn that they’re still out there, doin’ their thing, even though both are now seven or eight years removed from peak relevance. Ace is probably right that the inspiration was Betty White (who, incidentally, is an Obama supporter, and who could have singlehandedly made this clip mega-viral by appearing in it), but the “cursing granny” shock gag is ageless. My first encounter with it was the cheesy yet underrated “Moving Violations,” which starred Bill Murray’s brother doing his best Bill Murray impression presumably because the producers couldn’t actually get Bill Murray. Same here with the fake Bettys, I assume. But that’s okay: Whether it’s Betty herself or a more generic elderly actress uttering the word “cockpunch,” the case for voting for Barack Obama is just as compelling.
I think it’s too late in the game for any ad to move the needle much, but I’d be curious to see the reaction of centrists in the 55+ crowd to this one.
Does she want Obama death panels? Well, the koskids do!
The Dems aren’t even trying to win people over.
They are just having a temper tantrum.
.....and remain MORONS to this day....
Compare the candidates——one of gutter trash content and the other with an uplifting, positive message. Why this race is even semi-close is astounding.

The people making ads for Obama are nucking futs.
So I heard one terroristic threat, one direct physical threat toward a candidate and another promoting incestuous voyeurism.
I believe 2 of those are illegal but all three are very Dem
There is no group of people, liberals will not pull down into their stinking gutter.
Those fossils need to have their children wash their mouths out with soap.
Nasty and disgraceful.
That is correct. Nothing will.
Every time I think they’ve hit bottom they manage to dig deeper in the filth.
$$$$$$$$$$$$ Some people sell their souls for it
Its not easy seeing Gramma acting like a Skank..
And Grampa assuming the role of Obama’s “bitch”..
Kinda displays the democrat “branding”..
