Obama In 30 Seconds Finalists

Some pretty good ones, vote for your favorite and MoveOn will run it on air. And for the people making ads - enough with the montage of people reading Obama’s speeches (I’ve counted about 10 so far like that). The Yes We Can video caught lightning in a bottle, now make your own.

So far I like these

    One of the guys in the first video is in uniform. Is that ok?

    Didn’t even realize that might be a uniform shirt. No insignia visible and even the shirt is barely seen in that head and hardly much shoulders shot. I don’t think it’s particularly apparent.

    I do seem to recall hearing soldiers shouldn’t appear in uniform when pushing political messages. Didn’t someone get in trouble for that when they wore thier uniform and an anti-war function?

    But I figure if it was OK for Petreus when he pushed a political message it should be OK here.

    As Americans we are diverse in our backgrounds, talents and abilities. Barack Obama inspires us to realize the power we have collectively to change America for the better. This spot shows Americans coming to that realization and standing for change.

    This one is really cool too. 200 people in Union Square spelling Obama.

    Make me choke up!!! Really cool.
