new Obama ad on the economy

New Obama 2-minute ad about the economy

Click the link to see the ad. It's good stuff, but I'm not sure how effective it will be, only because he is continuing to talk to us like we are all adults, which too many Americans apparently do not like. Those people only want silly slogans and catch phrases that have nothing to do with real solutions.

As I said about the conventions, there really is a difference between the average Democrat and the average Republican. The Dems want to talk about the issues and solutions to our problems in adult terms and the Republicans only want to insult, distract and chant "USA, USA" and "Drill Baby Drill", as if that meant anything...

The thing that I have always liked about Obama was his straight talk and the fact that he appears like he would think reasonably about our problems and not simply do the first stupid thing that came to his mind and never look back, as a certain president has done. I desperately want an intelligent president and not some mook.

But, obviously, not all Americans agree on this. I can only hope that enough realize that the repugs' approach just isn't working any more and want a real change...
