I'm sorry but are there ANY Obama supporters that are willing to stand by this ad?

Wake up. If you support Obama, this is small potato's. Wait until closer to election day and see just how far they will actually go!! Put nothing past these people - they are capable of incredible acts of savagery in their pursuit of power.

Absentee ballots sent to U.S. military serving in Afghanistan 'destroyed in crash'...

I'm a bad dad. I thought it was a riot.
I thought it would get and hold a collegians attention and i liked that there were topical points -- maybe an 18YO has even heard of some of them.
I also didn't see or hear a "I'm BHO and I approve this message"

I think I am a great dad, good father, and fantastic daddy! I can't say I 'liked' this, but I won't say it offended me greatly, either. I found it stupid, but having worked with young people these past many years, they often like "stupid" a lot. (Have you seen any of the 'popular' prime time shows these days? It's a lot less 'offensive' than most of them.) I'm pretty sure if my 30-something daughters were still in their teens, and we saw this while sitting on the sofa watching TV, and I expressed my dismay at its inappropriateness, this is the response I'd get: "Oh, daddy!"

It'll probably be effective for its target audience, which is the idea. I do have to admit I DID find it less offensive than almost every other television ad for any presidential candidate that I've seen thus far. (They all make me yearn for the Hillary Clinton 3 a.m. ad!)

I disagree. I have a 15 year old daughter that I am trying to teach to be responsible about sex. This commercial goes against that, in my opinion. I get it, sex sells. I just don't think it should be used in a Presidential campaign.

Nor do I.

I raised my daughter's that way, too. I don't think watching this would have driven them over the edge to uninhibited sexual expression and activity. I'm pretty sure they'd have thought it stupid - in silence - and object the their old, fuddy-duddy daddy's negative comments.

Is is inappropriate? Yes
Does it have no place in a presidential race? Yes
Is it going to be effective? Yes
Will we see more like it? Probably
Should we have expected less from this particular campaign? Two guesses!

All that said, I still stand by my statement that it is less offensive than most other campaign ads.

Her first time.....with a neat guy.....how cool.....was it oral sex or full penetration....with a reference to Mr. Eye Candy ...
Very classy.

Richard · 10-27-2012, 09:28

FWIW and MOO, but I suspect we'll be seeing more of these type campaign ads in the future, not less, as they are aimed at the demographic which grew up with the Internet, cell phones, YouTube, IM, 'sexting', "American Pie", etc and who will likely see little - if anything - wrong with it. Just sayin'...

And so it goes...

As afchic, I have a 15 y/o daughter. My wife is away on AD, so I'm Mr. Mom.
I get the "Oh, dad" remark as does ZonieDriver about some things.
But I draw the line - this is an inappropriate for a public ad.
I wondered about BHO's feelings toward his daughters seeing this ad, then I remembered his remarks concerning being "punished with a baby".
This is just par for the course.

I have a 17 y/o daughter, and keeping them on the straight and narrow is hard enough without the politicians running this sort of ad.

It is almost as bad as "Julia", Ward of the State.

I can't see Romney or Ryan allowing something like this to be used on their behalf.

If I were undecided, and was even minimally self-aware, I doubt this would cause me to vote for the candidate who endorsed it.

Maybe FLOTUS can get her to do an add with a banana about eating school lunch.
