Obama Unicorn Ad: Does It Go Too Far?
News, Politics — By Staff on April 8, 2010 at 10:50 amThe Republicans have released a controversial new video ad about President Barack Obama suggesting his promises for change and health care reform are fairy tales.
At one point in the ad, the announcer boasts: “Global warming has been solved by replacing cars with low-emmission unicorns, powered by the renewable energy of rainbows.”
The ad then cuts to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her failed presidential campaign.
Said Clinton: “The sky will open. The light will come down. Celestial choirs will be singing.”
The ad goes on to say: “And now He has blessed us with free health care, creating trillions of jobs, without forcing us to buy health care.”
Eventually it the announcer says, “April Fools!” and goes into a standard attack-ad mode with menacing music and accuses liberals in Washington of having “No Transparency!”
What do you think? Does this ad go too far with hyperbole, or is it a clever way for Republicans to make a point?
The ad only ran on the web and YouTube, but network shows have picked it up. It has more than one-quarter-million YouTube hits already.

Eh, I was replying to ‘Name’, sorry! heh.
Nice try, Obama-lover. Try to stay on the subject, McCain has nothing to do with this topic.
I really like the ad, by the way. I hope that everyone in the US has a chance to see it. It may not do any good, though, if Obama manages to give amnesty to the illegal immigrants (which he is falling all over himself to make happen). The 30+ million new Democratic voters created in this fashion will ensure that the Democrats will stay in power forever.
Nobody mentions the fact that Obama promised that he had a plan to bring our troops home from Iraq by March of 2008…
It is now April 2010 and he still hasn’t done it…

Does the ad go too far? The ad actually forgot to mention Obama’s pre-election pixie dust.
Great ad by the way.
” (like the deficit,”
Created DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED CONGRESS since they had control from 2006 on and the deficit TRIPLED since Øbowmao came in.
” and the current wars were in”
Learn how to spell, and watch Democrats screaming there was WMD in Iraq:

“and the bailouts Bush signed for, the list could go on forever)” and PUSHED TO HELL BY DEMOCRATS.
“It amuses me to think back a few months ago when McCain gave his concession speech and he called for a more united America, one where all this bullshit. bickering between the two major parties would be put aside, to fix the problems were facing. What the hell happened to that?”
What happened was America woke up and discovered Øbowmao WAS the islamo-marxist LIAR most of us said he was and now we are telling the truth, and you dumb liberal morons can’t stand it when the rest of America sees him and YOU for the frauds and enemies of America that you are.
REGIME CHANGE STARTS IN NOV 2010.
that “name” is apart of norml/ an ignorant democrat/ forgot to vote. Good commercial. Also notice how democrats will say nothing about the actual topic, just play the blame game. Yeaaaaa! Fail!
I liked it. The ad was very clever.
i guess the republicans really cant get over the fact they lost….they must wanna really fix those pesky problems THEY created (like the deficit, and the current wars were in, and the bailouts Bush signed for, the list could go on forever)
