RNC to Advertise in Berlin!… and Berlin, and Berlin

Posted By: Nick

 
In a move of sheer genius, the RNC will counter Barack Obama’s Berlin speech by advertising in Berlin, NH; Berlin, PA; and Berlin, WI.  Because Barack can only be in one Berlin to give a speech, the RNC will outdo him by advertising in THREE Berlins.  The ad:

Title: Obama Chooses Washington Over Our Military (60 seconds)

VO: There are few votes as important as funding our men and women in uniform.
VO: But when our military needed necessary resources, Barack Obama failed to stand up.
VO: Obama said that nobody wanted to play chicken with our troops on the ground.
VO: But when it came time to act, he voted against critical resources: no to individual body armor, no to helicopters, no to ammunition, no to aircraft.
VO: The bill Obama opposed even had funding for veterans’ medical facilities and rehabilitation programs.
VO: And why did he say no?
VO: Obama chose Washington politics over the needs of our military.
VO: And Senator McCain?
VO: As a veteran and someone who has always put the public interest first, John McCain stood by our troops.
VO: If Obama can’t rise above politics to support our soldiers in a time of war, then how can he claim to have the strength to change the way Washington works?
VO: John McCain is ready to lead. Barack Obama is not.

Mark Preston, who wrote the CNN snippet linked above, thinks that this is:

certainly a clever way to gain some national press and perhaps gain some buzz in these three battleground states…

Wrong.  It’s a clever way for the RNC to gain some national press and to then be ridiculed for it’s complete inability to come up with any good ideas about how to counter the highly successful Obama trip.
