So, a 17 yr old is supporting obama and that is a news story!

This is too funny.

Hilarious,

This is great news for Hillary!!
Notice she lives in Wash, and has been campaigning for a few months. Another blowout?

Washington State, Si Se Puede!

This is so hilarious. That's what happens when you do crappy commercials on the cheap, by using stock footage. Obama can use it as well for his commercial and you have no idea who is in the commercial. I am laughing my a** off. If I were obama, I would hire her right now to do a commercial. Run the stock footage and then have her do a little statement about how she would feel safer with obama due to his judgment, experience and integrity. Too funny.

Obama blowout in the great state of Wyoming:

Wow, this is really important. EYEROLL.

Sinbad is not impressed. Sinbad says: let's talk about issues!

Issue #1:

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW FUNNY I WAS IN KOSOVO??!

This is a great little story, hehe. Here's the commercial: They should totally have the phone ringing at 3am and she picks it up and says, "It's for you" and then hands it to Obama. :)

BREAKING: HRC on CNN: "I'm REALLY good at sliming".

Honest, she said that word for word on CNN a few minutes ago. Can we make this a headline?

Senator Obama actually has two young daughters that he will do every thing in his power to protect, unlike Hillary who just pretends to protect pretend children, and pretends that she brought peace to Northern Ireland, and pretends that being married to a President is just like being the President, and pretends that pretending to care about Healthcare is the same as actually fixing Healthcare. Well you know the rest of it.....

Yeah but shrubbit--

Then you've got the black guy in the white girl's bedroom and thus, a Hillary commercial...

Wait a minute. You guys thought that was a real family? Not actors? I'm beginning to understand the Obama phenomenom.

Hmmmm, who was it that said something about wisdom and praise coming out of the mouths of babes and children ? 8>)
GOBAMA O8

Fake Children for a Fake Democrat. Hillary has endorsed John McCain and Barry Goldwater. She left her Republican heart in Arizona, and it still beats fast for that state's Republican Senators. Hillary is the New Lieberman.

Obama ad: Have a Hillery look alike, dressed in the same attire. Have one of the little girls wake up, and start screaming: Daddy, what is that creepy looking woman doing in our house.

Oh, c'mon now...let TPM have their HuffPo moment.

There is a phrase that is often overused, but in this case it fits. This story about the little girl in the 3 AM ad who grew to become an Obama supporter is what I call "poetic justice."

It is a true omen of what is to come. Obama will defeat Hillary Clinton and become the nominee, and go on to become Commander in Chief.

Sinbad, when did you cross the hilarious threshold?

I actually think the most flippable part of this is the color of the initial getty stock footage and the "fear mongering filter" the clinton campaign ran it through. In itself, not that big of a deal but another bit of juice to add to the ever growing smoothie that is "she'll do anything to win".

If you wish to be even slightly persuasive, you would do well to desist with the suggestion that we're stupid.

No, we're well aware that, shockingly enough, the family in the commercial were actually actors. We understood this, at least those of us that didn't drop dead from the shock, from the the get-go.

What's funny about this is that it reminds us that there's a difference between appearances and realities, and in this case the irony is as thick as tank armor.

So-called Sinbad,

Contrary to your racist assumptions, the real Sinbad happens to be another intelligent and articulate African-American. Skip the faux vernacular; we DO speak Standard American English.

This is not that remarkable in and of itself, but Obama could, if he wanted to, spin it into a greater narrative about his ability to bring new people into the process and contrast that with Hillary scare tactics. The money shot line can be something along the lines of "It is no longer 3 a.m. Your children are no longer asleep. The long dark night has passed, the sun has risen, and your children are awake, active, and engaged in the political process like they never have been before."

I've been missing the Obama rhetorical judo recently. Hillary's been throwing some wild punches, way overextending herself and just begging for Obama use her own momentum to put her on the mat.

No, but I have seen Jingle All the Way. Can a threshold be destroyed? It's hard to tell what the rules are when the metaphor is so nonsensical in the first place.

Oh, also Houseguest. Houseguest.

This is news? You're kidding, right? At best, this is a snarky post on Wonkette.

This makes front page news on TPM?

As I've said many a time, you people are abject hacks.

I guess she wasn't happy enough with her previous 15 minutes of fame.

Garbage is garbage unless it's recycled. Hillary's beliefs and doings are a lot more significant than a 17 year old actress.

Oh no!

That's it. When can all just stay home now and stop bloggin. This settles the whole argument. This 17 year old really "identifies" with Obama.

Race is over.
Too bad Hillary.

Drat my little pretties!

I pass around a photo of him dressed in Muslim gear and what does he do that very night? He puts on a black cowboy hat and looks great!

http://matthewyglesias.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/02/photoblog.php

Now I try to fear-monger the masses with a little blond cherub and what happens? The little trollop is an Obama supporter!

Drat! Drat! Drat!
Where are my flying monkeys!
I'll get you yet my little pretty!

The Daily Show's wild witch laughter here...

Wyoming, you're well on your way to not counting. Congrats.

Lost in all of this (though the irony IS delicious) is that Hilary had 2 chances to answer important phone calls.

In the 90s, the middle class placed a desperate call for help with health care, and she dropped the call.

In October 2002 she again answered the phone, and was asked "Do we go to war?" Her answer then was to join McSame and Bush in the most ill-advised, misguided adventure, which has cost countless Iraqi lives, many of our brave soldiers lives, and trillions of our treasure.

So the question isn't who answers that call at 3 AM, the question is, why would we ever let her near that telephone again knowing how she handles such calls?

But just saying.

Well, that convinces me!!! A 17 year old actress supports Obama? Slap my ass and call me Sally, I am now an Obamabot!!!!

Faux Sinbad,

You're still a racist troll.

Before anyone takes the easy route and dismisses someone's opinion simply because you feel they are too young, consider this 15 year old girl.

What kind of parents sell pictures of their young daughter in bed? No wonder she turned out the way she did. You'll never see any pictures of Chelsey in bed. That's the difference between raising a child correctly, and raising an Obamaton.

I love this story. Casey Knowles for VP. Make the counter-ad Obama, make the counter-ad?

People....this young lady is an ACTRESS who was paid to do the ad. What difference does it make what her politics are?

By the way, there is a wonderful profile of Obama in the NY Times that everyone should read...regarding Obama's behavior so far in the Senate. It is an eyeopener.

This young lady did not sign on to do HRC's ad, she's an actress who did an ad 8 years ago for an entirely different product. And if you don't see how this absolutely delicious bit of irony couldn't be used in a counter-ad, then you're just not trying very hard.

Hilzoy has a nice little examination of HRC's recent claims about her foreign policy experience and the Rwandan genocide. She is completely full of sh**. http://obsidianwings.blogs.com/obsidian_wings/2008/03/hilary-clinton.html

Is it possible that the cameraman, the producer,or the director may be a McCain supporter? I need to know. Or is this "all you want to know about Obama?"
