New Obama ad.. scathing
disclaimer: new ad I would PAY to see:)

Ad opener:

McCain's casual attempt to tell us what is "rich"..followed by Gramm's "nation of whiners"..and then Mccain saying he doesn't know how many houses he has..

Scene 1:

Mom, Dad & a couple of kids (hot, tired & sweaty), loading stuff in clothes baskets, trash bags & produce boxes into a U-haul...

camera pans forward to a bedraggled dirty car, to which the UHaul is attached..

camera pans to house..focuses on a "bank-owned" FOR SALE sign.

microphone appears in front of Dad, who says.." How many homes do I own?...NONE"

camera shows Mom hugging her kids as they leave their house for the last time & wave bye to their little friends who watch them drive off..

final camera pan shows the street they lived on..with many For Sale signs..

2. can't wait to see it
How fitting it is that we're going to have such a fine person for our next President. Four years from now America will be once again standing tall.

3. It came from MY brain.. not the Obama campaign, BUT
I SO hope that someone there has the same idea..and keeps it simple..

People "out here" can be pretty simple.. but I doubt that there are many people in the US, who have not been touched by the foreclosure thing..

a co-worker, a friend, a relative, someone on your block..

It's like cancer...almost every family has a "foreclosure/lost house story"

7. Yup..gotta play hardball..but I still "throw like a girl"
I hope someone can forward it to the Obama folks...

but then they probably have one in the can just like it :)
