TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 20 September 2012 10:33 (thirteen years ago)

That is totally the change he voted for!

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 20 September 2012 11:03 (thirteen years ago)

the husband in that ad looks scared for a second that his wife knows that he's gay. then he recovers and disapproves of obama's radical agenda.

scott seward, Thursday, 20 September 2012 11:26 (thirteen years ago)

That ad is so good. Shot worth puzzling over: the close-up of the coffee cup being set on the counter at 0:04. I do have to wonder whether Obama will be able to get his forced-gay-marriage legislation through congress.

clemenza, Thursday, 20 September 2012 11:37 (thirteen years ago)

The close-up of the coffee-cup is in a beam of sunlight that's disappeared 0.01 seconds later.

xp yeah that's what I was trying to say, scott.

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 20 September 2012 11:41 (thirteen years ago)

I wish there were a nod to Godard: woman looks down, overhead close-up of the coffee, all the little bubbles configure themselves into a cosmos of gay people getting married.

clemenza, Thursday, 20 September 2012 11:45 (thirteen years ago)

Hahaha that ad

Ha, yes.

Now Romney is saying his campaign is about the 100 percent. Hoo boy.

controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Thursday, 20 September 2012 12:59 (thirteen years ago)

100% too late

reggie (qualmsley), Thursday, 20 September 2012 13:00 (thirteen years ago)

He should use the Sonic Youth song at campaign rallies.

or do his "women voters only" strip routine to this

da croupier, Thursday, 20 September 2012 13:04 (thirteen years ago)

Wow. How inept! Why, instead of going in a tooootally different direction, would you pointedly draw focus to the thing which has likely hobbled your campaign? "What's that 100% thing in reference to again? Ohhh yeaaaah..."

Old Lunch, Thursday, 20 September 2012 13:08 (thirteen years ago)

First of all, this is a campaign about the 100 percent. And in the last several years you've seen greater divisiveness in this country.

Yeah, like when politicians divide up the electorate into the people they care about and the needy, handout-seeking unwashed wastrels!

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 20 September 2012 13:17 (thirteen years ago)

Speculation that the leaked Romney "47%" video was filmed by a bartender hired to work the event:

o. nate, Thursday, 20 September 2012 13:57 (thirteen years ago)

ya certainly looks like it was filmed from the bar

"We are the 100%" has a nice ring to it. Inclusive.

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 20 September 2012 14:07 (thirteen years ago)

we are the 110%

lag∞n, Thursday, 20 September 2012 14:08 (thirteen years ago)

I just watched that campaign ad. I'm totally going to Utah to riot now.

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 20 September 2012 14:08 (thirteen years ago)

We are the 100% of what's left when you cut out the 47%.

Right-leaning prognosticator with predictions on how Romney can win--

curmudgeon, Thursday, 20 September 2012 14:19 (thirteen years ago)

ha in the state of the race part one his argument that romney was gonna win was basically all the polls are wrong

lag∞n, Thursday, 20 September 2012 14:28 (thirteen years ago)

4) Romney actually has led -- you just couldn’t see it.

hahahaha wait

it's smdh time in America (will), Thursday, 20 September 2012 14:59 (thirteen years ago)

I get like 3 of those a day, it seems like, so I've long since started just deleting them without reading them.

o. nate, Thursday, 20 September 2012 14:59 (thirteen years ago)

i dont understad why you all agree to receive these emails

lag∞n, Thursday, 20 September 2012 15:00 (thirteen years ago)

otm

da croupier, Thursday, 20 September 2012 15:02 (thirteen years ago)

I don't know to be honest. I guess I feel like I'm doing my part for the campaign by deleting those emails every day.

o. nate, Thursday, 20 September 2012 15:03 (thirteen years ago)

hey i just love getting emails from Beyonce and SJP

it's smdh time in America (will), Thursday, 20 September 2012 15:04 (thirteen years ago)

So that "New Morning" couple voted for change (Obama) and are having buyer's remorse only now, because of something she read about gay marriage in the paper today?

The specifics are these, which is those principles I described (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 20 September 2012 15:04 (thirteen years ago)

she knew she might have to give a little more in taxes, but she didn't think she'd have to give up her husband

da croupier, Thursday, 20 September 2012 15:05 (thirteen years ago)

(i *thought* i had selected "no emails" the couple of times i donated, but i guess not)

it's smdh time in America (will), Thursday, 20 September 2012 15:05 (thirteen years ago)

I don't know why I started receiving Democrat campaign emails but all attempts to get them to stop failed, regardless of the amount of profanities I used. They are now spam.

ledge, Thursday, 20 September 2012 15:07 (thirteen years ago)

i've got a fake email i typically use for stuff like this, but for some reason used my real one with NObama campaign. idk

I'm gonna start doing that New Morning wife's response with everyone now!

Hey, how's it goin'?

Me, dejectedly: fine....... I guess.........

Hahah was coming here to post that.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 September 2012 15:35 (thirteen years ago)

honestly if i had to choose between showing that video and the 47% video to show someone claiming they were voting for romney, i'd choose this
