RNC Ties Obama To ... David Hasselhoff

In the clearest sign yet that the Republicans have all but given up on even pretending that they have ideas worth selling to the American people, the Republican National Committee has sunk time and money into this ad, their "best guess" at what an "Obama ad in Berlin" might look like. Apparently, their best guess is founded on the twin precepts that Germans enjoy techno music and that in a crowd of 200,000 people, it's possible to find someone with "Marxist" friends. Even though it has nothing to do with Germans or Marxism or Berlin, the makers of this ad saw fit to include a woefully dated kicker of Obama yelling, "I'm king of the world!" Appropriately: a Titanic joke from a bunch of titanic jokes.

Anyway, NOW IS THE TIME ON SPROCKETS WHEN WE DANCE I GUESS!

This "ad" (?) smacks of desperation! As a matter of fact, everything about John McCain now smacks of ineptitude, distortion, despair, distraction and rash reactions to their ever devolving campaign message.

I hear that now Mr. McCain will be "testing out" how much he can use RACE as part and parcel of his run for Prez. How noble of this tiny man.

Now who was it agin who said he would run a respectful and clean campaign?

Wow.. just wow. The masterminds at the RNC are really hard at work. Looks like something the beginner video 101 class put together...

This is seriously one of the most unintentionally funny things I have ever seen. Well I guess they WERE trying to be funny, but we are supposed to be laughing at Obama, and I am actually laughing at the idiots who made this thinking it was gonna reach us young folks on the interwebs.

this is "The Room" of political ads. If you don't know what that means, check it out. It will change your life!!!!!

Obama has had a very tiring week....... this will give him a laugh out loud moment.... help him wind down!!

what an amateur effort

[Countdown09]

I don't how low of an IQ you'd have to have think this was money well spent. Just goes to show the GOP can not win this election on the issues and problems facing this country. The only hope they have is to rally the lowest of IQ in our society with junk like this.

...I'm kind of tempted to take this as a joke...

This is starting to upset me a lot. Why do repubs take it as a huge insult if other countries like Obama? Do they think that the rest of the world is to be hated and feared, and that uniting countries is wrong? That's such an elitist attitude it makes me sick.

In answer to your second question, one word. Yes.

[loax]

How pitiful are the Republicans???

[Kay54]

The RNC? Now we know why our country is so F'd up. No wonder Republicans are making the choice to become a democrate (under cover though)....

[CEKChuck]

Ummmm..... no accounting for taste, but isn't David Hasselhoff one of the most popular actors in the world? Including the "behind the orange curtain" housewife set?

[Prousa]

It is true: Conservatives are not funny. Name one that is (intentionally). They simply have no sense of humor.

[Muzikal203]

I could have named one, until you said "intentionally" Yet ironically, republicans are the ones whining when people say it's hard to make up funny jokes about Obama.

[zonafan51]

Pathetic . . . absolutely pathetic!!

[bellecloche]

Berlin should sue - I mean really, suddenly it's the new code word like San Francisco???!!!

[shel3364]

I hope they didn't spend a LOT for that??

And what the implication about Obama being like Guevara because they both want change??? The only constant in the universe is change.

God, without change we'd still dwell in caves & eat raw meat. Lets move forward.

There is nothing stopping McCain from going to Berlin and making a speech to a few hundred thousand people. Wouldn't that be easier and less embarrassing than this farcical ad?

[getoffmedz]

The RNC paid good money for that?

Even a 22%er will not be fooled.
