A couple of notes on last night's Obama infomercial:
1. Kinda boring
2. In an attempt to sway the religious to vote for him, I saw shots deliberately highlighting religion, faith etc. ie. Couple reading the Bible at the table, hugging the lady and saying "I'll pray for you" quote from Obama and the "God bless" twice at the end of his speech.
3. Obama wearing the flag pin during his speech at the end.
This ad was definitely aimed at appealing to conservatives.
I'm not saying that I agree with it. But it was shrewd.
In fact, he said "tree huggers" in his interview with John Stewart. I couldn't tell if it was a joke or not, but I also thought that it was a small jab at the Liberal Left for the benefit of appealing to the Right.
