The ad campaign Obama should be using
In my previous article I berated the advertising in Pennsylvania as overly responsive to Clinton’s negative agenda. It’s easy to criticise of course, but I think Obama’s ad buyers should be mindful of the tone adopted by those inspired by Barack Obama, because that inspiration is infectious.
Qasim Basir was so inspired that he sought donations, enlisted the support of other independent film makers, and made three ads. He discusses more about this in this video, but explains that:
“You know they talk a lot about what Barack says about hope, and that it’s not realistic. Whatever they may say regarding that notion, but honestly, I can not think of much right now that this country could use more than hope.”
These are the adverts which the Obama team should be using (but aren’t):
Yes We Can – Housing
Yes We Can – College
Yes We Can – Immigration
