1. I like it!

[GarbagemanLB]

2. Damn, that's a really cool ad.

[ClayZ]

3. I love that ad! Thanks! K and R

[hedgehog]

4. Wow - is that a real ad? If not, it should be!

[thewiseguy]

6. No it is not a real ad

Some person made it a couple of months ago and it has not gotten much attention. I think it is a powerful ad.

[gcomeau]

8. Comments section says it's an independent production...

...not part of the campaign. I loved it though. That closing line is a simple truth.

[aaaaaa5a]

14. Great Video!

This really highlights why Obama does so well. And why so many don't understand why he is successful. I hope it is more than just an "internet spot." That video should be running in the Keystone state.

15. it was an apple ad

[keep_it_real]

27. Obama should ask apple if he can use that add it is AWESOME

[Scurrilous]

5. K & R

Cheers. :)

9. very well done

wonder how many could recognize all the folks depicted, though.

[chill factor]

18. Guess it depend on a person's age.....

Unfortunately, being a 66-year old white female, I did recognize everyone. I think this would be a great ad to garnish voters in the same age bracket I am in - simple, powerful, stirring. :D

[flor de jasmim]

22. Great selling point!

Had to clear the tears from my eyes - it is a beautiful and powerful ad.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

28. Very true

It took a minute, but I recognized everyone too, and I'm 57. I was wondering if some of the youngsters would relate. But it was a thoughtful piece, one to appeal to thinking people everywhere.

[thewiseguy]

29. Well I am one of those youngsters and I liked this ad alot

I could recognize most of the faces there. I think this ad should be on TV.

[Cha]

33. Excellent idea! I recognized a

young Einstein..that's for sure.

[TahitiNut]

10. I gotta say ... helluva ad.

:applause:

[Ellipsis]

11. It's the original Apple think different add... with a tag.

Chait/Day created it. It is cool.

[hedgehog]

21. Do I get a prize? Or does this just prove that I'm the oldest dork here?

:)

[Ellipsis]

23. I was impressed with Buckminster Fuller

Some places in Wisconsin still refer to Wright in the present tense.

Age is relative.:hi:

[thewiseguy]

20. Richard Bronson after MLK

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. Apple Computers have the rights to that video

That is Academy Award Winning Actor Richard Dreyfuss providing the voice to the apple advertisement.

Still a good video.

[flor de jasmim]

24. Here is another powerful one: Obama / JFK

It is apparently from February 2008, so you may have seen it, but it was new to me:

[thewiseguy]

26. The similarity in their messages is striking!

[Frustratedlady]

25. At first, I thought to myself that Booooosh could never be in that kind of ad....

But then I decided he could, as he has certainly changed the world.

[thewiseguy]

30. Kick!

[Buzz Clik]

31. Outstanding! And... hell yes, I'm crazy enough.

[Cha]

32. We're just about there!
