Ok, maybe the headline is a bit mean - but come on HRC - the time has come for you to step out of the primary race and let my man Obama enjoy his time in the sun! After the amazing turnout in Indiana and the Obama victory in North Carolina last night, I am one enthusiastic Obama supporter. And this little piece of propaganda sent to me by Mr. Andre Blackman nearly made me fall off my chair:
Thanks to my politically oriented friends for pointing out the absurdities in the new Hilary Clinton 3 AM ad. This ad is a follow up to the initial 3 AM ad released before the Texas primary where a terrorist threat was supposedly at hand. Terrorism at 3 AM is believable, albeit a little bit of fear mongering, but still believable. This time around I think that the Clinton campaign is trying a little too hard.
This is the first ad from the HRC campaign targeting the Republican Presidential nominee, John McCain, and it attempts to reveal that McCain is out of touch with the economy and tries to boost Hilary into the limelight as being “Ready on Day One.” The political maneuvering of the ad can be discussed at length as it serves not only as an attack against McCain, but Obama as well. If HRC is addressing the GOP front runner, then she is casting herself as the Democratic front runner. Well, sorry Hilary, you are still not going to be the front runner, not matter how you manipulate the delegate counts.
But enough political punditry, what we’re here to talk about today is the pure ridiculousness of a 3 AM phone call to anyone, in particular the POTUS.
1. Why would anyone call the White House at 3 AM about the economy? The stock markets don’t open till 6 AM and last time I checked, the White House was still located in Washington DC, not California.
2. If HRC really wanted to make a pointed attack on McCain she could have at least humored us:
3. Any married woman who has mascara on and a nice blow-dry at 3 AM is either a) receiving a drunk dial after coming home from the bars or b) about to do something she probably shouldn’t be.
4. It’s 3 AM. There is a big red phone sitting on my desk. Naturally, Putin calls.
5. It’s 3 AM. Barack Obama is calling. “Hilary, lets just forgive and forget about that vote for the war in Iraq….”
Yikes! I just watched this video. Looks like Mickey Mouse Club, 2008 Presidential election style. If any of these kiddies are at all similar to the cast of characters from the old MM Club, several of them will end up in rehab, potentially shave their head, expose themselves in public, create a boy band, moan when one of them finds outrageous success as a non-perve Michael Jackson, and the rest will spend their days twirling Hilary signs with remorse and ending up on True Life: I was a HRC supporter.
