New Obama Ad ‘537’ Warns Of Bush 2000 Repeat

New Obama Ad ‘537’ Warns Of Bush 2000 Repeat

President Obama explicitly warned Mitt Romney would be a repeat of George Bush in the third debate, now his latest campaign ad features images of the 43rd president in an effort to motivate Democratic partisans to vote.

The new ad, "537," recalls the ultra-tight margin in Florida in 2000 -- 537 votes -- and tells Democrats "this year if you're thinking that your vote doesn't count, that it doesn't matter, well, back then there were probably at least 537 people who felt the same way."

Here's a new ad featuring Michelle Obama



"The ad will air on TV and radio in Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia."

They've been tying Mitt to Bush the entire campaign.

Remember it even came up in the second debate, and Obama portrayed Mitt as worse than Bush.

the electronic device Bush used to coach him through the debate was FAR more conspicuous! He looked like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I can't help but think how much different things would be RIGHT NOW if it hadn't been for those 537 votes.

FU Bush, Cheney, and Robme!!

And, of course, there are all the people who lost their lives in his wars - us and them.
