I saw the commercial, all I can say is that it is classless, trashy, and typical of Obama and his supporters. It's really sad that our president needs to stoop this low in trying to get the female vote. You would think the average woman would be insulted by these disgusting commercials.
I guess it's "commericals" like this that Obama for America took out a $15 million loan.
The spin and deflection have reached an insane level. I sense panic and frustration from the uber-liberal wing struts. So much so, I just took the +170 odds on Obama being a one-term President. I'm feeling Reaganesque when I see a President reaching this low in the immoral gutter for support. Maybe he should get the DumbAss team to make a support commercial as well.
That would really play to his base.
I wasn't spinning or deflecting (a common conservative tactic), I was asking a direct question... since the quote to which I was responding called this a "repulsive" ad, it makes sense to assume they think sex is repulsive. Right?
P.S. I'm not an "über liberal," I am actually a Libertarian who rides the fence on a number of issues - not to mention, I am mostly supporting Johnson in this election. Speaking of deflections, LOL.
Jeez, you people are uptight. The ad is meant to appeal to Dunham's fanbase, not repressed individuals who see the analogy between the first time voting and the first time having sex as something trashy and classless. And if you are going to find anything objectionable, it should be with the heterosexist nature of the ad. But I'm willing to let that pass as Obama is actually male. Would be interesting to see what this ad would have been if it was Hillary running.
I think it's fabulous. It's hard not to respect Lena Dunham - at 23 she wrote, directed, and starred in her first feature film that won all kinds of awards and now at 26, she is the creator, director, writer, executive producer, and star of a very successful HBO show that earned her 4 Emmy nominations. She is more successful and talented than most people will be in their entire lives - and she has only just started hers. And she's done it while not being conventionally attractive in an industry where top billing women tend to be bombshells.
The video isn't creepy - it's creative and it works. After all, it made you take notice, right?
As far as her last name, Dunham is one of the most common last names in the US. I know quite a few - none with the slightest relation to Barack Obama. Keep stretching.
A 26 year old who already has an HBO show that she created, writes, directs, and produces to her credit - with 4 Emmy nominations to boot! I wonder what most of the people on this forum had done by 26... or by 23/24 - how old Dunham was when she wrote, directed, and starred in her first award winning film, Tiny Furniture. What had the people in this thread accomplished by 24? (I had already beaten stage IV cancer while working full time - reason enough why I will not vote Romney and consider his policies a vote against cancer survivors.)
This thread justifies why friends don't let friends sleep with Republicans. The repression is astounding. For the record, I watched this ad at an event last night with some coworkers. These are mostly women in their 30s, married with children, well educated with masters degrees from Harvard and BU... and not a one had a problem with it. We all thought it was clever.
Hey, if you actually thought about having sex with Obama or thought you were being told to have sex with Obama during that ad, you should think about why that is because that's something that the ad brought out in you that was already there. I'm not judging you for thinking about sex with Obama, but I definitely don't get it. But whatever floats your boat.
I never said I thought the ad made me think about having relations with Obama.
First Big Bird and now this? No wonder Obama is out of money
