McCain Houses Mocked In Union "Genius" Ad (VIDEO)

Change to Win, a federation of labor unions, released the first in a two-part online video series on John McCain called "Real McCain of Genius." The spoof of Bud Light's "Real Men of Genius" highlights McCain's controversial housing comments and inability to relate to working America. The video was produced by an up-and-coming comedy troupe called Olde English. Watch:

Absolutely hillarious!Can I crash on one of your couches!Good for them!

[WarriorLemming]

Love it! Sending this to a couple of uninformed friends who fit the profile, "A turkey voting for Thanksgiving" scenario. God. help. us.

[chulanow]

That was funny but you really couldn't enjoy it.......too cheaky.

[tea in the harbor]

YES WE CAN! (somebody had to say it!)

[RJII]

YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN

[RJII]

Now let's be fair...we all have senior moments and forget how many houses we own.

I do it all the time. Five, six, seven, eight...oh yeah, I'm fighting foreclosure on my one and only.

[EddieMcWords]

I love it.

Is this not a copyright infringement?
But the delicious irony of spoofing a beer ad for McCain is exquisite.

If you go out and buy a house that's bigger and more expensive than you can afford, why should the government (i.e., taxpayers) have to pay your bills through a bail-out? Get a house you can afford. And when you're successful in business and your family becomes wealthy, that thing called the American Dream, you invest in property. That doesn't mean you live in 7 different houses. It means you have a main house and a vacation house. And the rest are real estate investments. Obama lives in a million dollar house. I wouldn't say that puts him in touch with the average American. In middle America, that's still about the same value as 5 pretty nice houses. http://mespace.wordpress.com

But her earned his money and did not dump his crippled wife to marry into wealth.

you omitted that businesses large and small are causing massive layoffs.

So far all I've seen is our taxes going to bailout big banks and loaning institutions and their CEO luxury pensions. So much for market driven economy.

Actually, it does, he lives 2 blocks away from the 'hood. So, it in fact puts him deadsmack right in the middle of people living in poverty buddy. The southside of Chi-town is not filled with mansions. They've just paid off their student loans 2 years ago. A million dollar house means nothing, and it doesn't mean he's "elite."

[ldillworth]

You omit that the deregulation of the mortgage industry allowed the industry to talk people into mortgages they couldn't afford.

Businesses i.e. Freddy Mac and Fanny May are being bailed out with your tax dollars too, is that one ok with you? I mean afterall they created the mess for themselves by giving sub-prime loans to people who couldn't afford them...

Are people to blame for reaching too high? Yes. But the brokers and agents who convinced them and allowed them to do it are equally to blame; the mortgage industry doesn't give loans to people that cant afford them without knowing it.

Do some more research and stop assuming anyone who is struggling is struggling because they're stupid and lazy.

[truthynesslover]

Lots of people bought houses they could afford and now theve lost their value and are paying thousands more a month than they are worth and cant sell them.Yuo must be one of those "compasionate "consevatives?

[KarlaElisa]

BRILLIANTLY DONE! I hope we see many more from this group. How bout focusing on the clip where he says 'I'm not interested in what most Americans want'?

[ldillworth]

oooooo, when/where did he say that? that would make a perfect commercial.

[publanski]

That, my friend, was hilarious.

[ojim]

Genius

[shel3364]

OMG that's hysterical

[BeltwayBette]

McCain’s judgment which hints at oncoming Alztheimers offers us the following:
Higher deficits for US; more debt to China; Lower minimum wage; Less safety for workers, greater wealth for the rich
No incentives for US jobs; Social Security privatization?
More illegal incarcerations/ kidnapping/ torture, loss of personal privacy, and more Constitution raping.
Women will have lower pay for equal work, no Roe vs. Wade, no legal contraceptives, no child care outside the home. Women will die horribly from illegal abortions. More newborns will be murdered.
Crime will increase as criminal cartels provide illegal contraceptives. And the hungry steal or burglarize to get food.
Since school vouchers equal Republican’s siphoning our tax dollars to evangelical schools and starving public education, our children will learn only right wing world visions. And who deserves to live in that world.
McCain’s ignorance of and right wing sexual obsessions about the Internet will create laws limiting its use.
McCain will reinstate the draft and a foreign policy in line with his warrior fantasies. His inability to think clearly will lead us into more wars, perhaps WWIII.
And then we can all celebrate how we got even with Sen.Obama for not nominating Hillary for VP. Or that we kept a black family out of the White House. Congratulations, McCain voters!

Thanks....Adam

[LoriNC]

That was excellent!! Thanks for sharing! Wish it would make it to TV, not just YouTube.

[myjs]

Thanks. We need to get this out. Post it on other sites.

[SFkid]

This is hilarious and WILL be affective to the beer drinking garage boys, the people most union members are a part of. It will dig into the McCains excessive materialism, while ordinary Americans have to face possibly losing their one house. How ironic as Cindy is the Beerllionaire.

[dbm1966]

You're right. It will appeal to the right audience, and whoever came up with the concept of patterning it after a beer commercial was a genius.
