It is 3 am - dueling commercials
Here’s the very sad thing, Hillary Clinton has the “best” democratic campaign folks. The best. Everyone says that they are the best but…. Barack Obama got the left overs. It sure doesn’t appear that way. It will about a year before we can truly look at this election and tell what worked and what didn’t. Right now, Hillary Clinton and her team look old and slow. Barack Obama looks quick and nimble.
“It’s 3 a.m., and your children are safe and asleep. But there’s a phone in the White House, and it’s ringing. Something is happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call, whether it’s someone who already knows the world’s leaders, knows the military — someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world. It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?”
So, Hillary Clinton puts out her scare ad. It doesn’t say a vote for Obama is a vote for the terrorists but it does imply that Barack will need a bunch of advisers to make a decision at 3 am. So, less than 48 hours later, Obama responses with the same opening then the narrator deviates -
It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. But there’s a phone ringing in the White House. Something’s happening in the world. When that call gets answered, shouldn’t the president be the one — the only one — who had judgment and courage to oppose the Iraq war from the start? Who understood the REAL threat to America was al-Qaeda, in Afghanistan, not Iraq? Who led the effort to secure loose nuclear weapons around the globe? In a dangerous world, it’s judgment that matters.
Oops. Hillary Clinton opened that can. Barack Obama is using that can to remind everyone of Hillary Clinton’s disastrous Iraq War vote. This is a place that Hillary would prefer not to go with democrats. HUGE mistake. Especially because a new book came out this week about the final cost of the war. $3 Trillion
