RNC Video: Obama 'drowning' the country
News — RNC Video: Obama 'drowning' the country The Obama administration is "drowning" the U.S. in debt, a new Republican National Committee (RNC) video to be released online this morning alleges. The ad takes aim at both the political and the personal, targeting President Obama for spending money on the stimulus package and for controversial promotional photos of Air Force One — as well as spending $500 on courtside seats to a Washington Wizards' game and $2,000 on the new First Dog, Bo. "Drowning your country in debt: Priceless," a narrator concludes in the ad, modeled on Mastercard's popular "priceless" line of ads. "There are some things your ...

Priceless
techPresident — The RNC is out with a new web ad that borrows the theme from those famous Mastercard "priceless" spots. The ad somewhat strangely lumps in $700 billion-plus in stimulus spending with Bo the dog, some court-side tickets to a Washington Wizards basketball game, and that Manhattan flyover of Air Force One that Obama knew nothing about. But the familiar format is an easy way in to the complicated matter of deficit spending. ...

The first comes from the RNC, which uses the familiar MasterCard format to make a pretty good point about pricelessness — and costliness: Next, the NRCC keeps up its drumbeat against John Murtha and Nancy Pelosi by highlighting Murtha’s latest pork outrage, the Airport for No One. They take a much more serious tone here, ...
