Americans for Shared Prosperity’s ‘Barack Obama as dysfunctional man-child boyfriend’ ad.

(Via comments here) …Oh, but you are going to love this.

I’m going to get a transcript up as soon as I get one, but the short version: Barack Obama is a lying, cheating, no-good, paranoid manipulator who keeps telling you that he’s going to change, but never does.  And his friends are just as bad… but you can do something about his friends.

Background:

John Jordan, a California winery owner and head of the group Americans for Shared Prosperity whose work in outside groups has gained attention in the last year, is planning to air two women-focused spots nationally over the next few days during major news shows like “Meet the Press” on NBC and on Fox News, as well as digitally across national print publications including POLITICO.

…the ads he commissioned from Florida-based ad-maker Rick Wilson feature a woman speaking direct-to-camera about issues like the economy and national security, in a 30-second spot and a 60-second one. She accuses Democrats obliquely of treating women like single-issue voters, and talks about President Barack Obama as if he’s a boyfriend she’s stuck with for a few more years. “The goal here is to communicate with women voters in a way that outside groups and campaigns haven’t,” Jordan said.

I know Rick from online: he knows exactly where the boot needs to go in on this topic, and my but didn’t he just? – And the truth of the matter is, it’s all freaking true.  The Democrats pretty much do treat every group in their coalition with neither consideration nor respect; and there is in fact a limit to how often you can lie to a person’s face before she starts to realize that she’s being played. Particularly if there’s somebody out there willing to, you know, actually try to present an alternative.

PS: How effective is it?  Well, Vox reportedly hates it, in much the same way that a classical Central European vampire hates sunlight and whitethorn.  So there’s that.

  1. I note the Politico article names everyone involved in making these ads. I’m curious if they’ve ever dug so deep into the production of Dem ads… but maybe that’s my paranoia acting up again.
