Released yesterday, it’s already number three on YouTube with 400,000+ views. This site claims the cast is the same; if so, the first guy has aged really badly.
Man, I can’t wait until Obama’s elected and there are no more wars or financial crises.

Spotted this a few hours ago; nearly Emailed the link but figured it’d end up here
I got’s to say I did find it pretty funny, although as soon as I saw what made him smile on the TV I just thought ‘dammit, you just had to put politics into it..’
So just clip off the last 15 odd seconds and I can still enjoy it.
Reaps on October 25, 2008 at 2:03 PM
Yeah, because that guy will suddenly have painkillers, the market will rebound, there’ll be no more war, and that guy will get his house and a job when Obama takes over. Are they on crack?
amerpundit on October 25, 2008 at 2:07 PM
the end is near…

Shameless.

Man, I cant wait for CHANGE.

Black man in a noose? RAAAACCCIIISSTTT!!!
And the hurricane outside? Definitely McCain’s fault.
Grafted on October 25, 2008 at 2:10 PM
Big whoop, we lost the dumb-ass vote.

I prefer HOPE. HOPE will be good. Maybe with some CHANGE on the side.
Professor Blather on October 25, 2008 at 2:13 PM
Don’t panic!
Were experiencing technical difficulties!
Apparently,watching this video,U.S.S Hot Air
has run aground on a sand bar,and luck would
have it,we sailed into the Bermuda Triangle of
the net,as well!(Snark)!haha.
canopfor on October 25, 2008 at 2:13 PM
LOL!! That had me rollin’. McCain/Palin ‘08 baby, but I was still cracking up.
nickj116 on October 25, 2008 at 2:14 PM
EXACTLY how I felt/feel. Spot on my man.
nickj116 on October 25, 2008 at 2:15 PM
Obama’s gonna stop hurricanes, too? Wow.
Regarding the vid: America sucks, right guys? Imagine a bunch of college-age guys growing up and having to face the fact that they can’t sit around drinking Bud all day anymore and have to actually pay the mortgage they signed and leave town when the weather guy says a hurricane is coming and pay for their own Tylenol and actually fight and face danger when they voluntarily sign up for military service. The implication is that if they vote for Obama, they’ll get to go back to watchin’ the game and drinkin’ a Bud all the time again, with not a worry in the world. Ha ha ha.
aero on October 25, 2008 at 2:15 PM
No motivation = no problems
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 25, 2008 at 2:18 PM
And according to that video, no more hurricanes either.
JetBoy on October 25, 2008 at 2:19 PM
There’s no escaping the relentless drumbeats for Osama Obama.
Makes me want to vomit.
Makes me realize that the American way of life is probably just about over.
MrScribbler on October 25, 2008 at 2:19 PM
By the way, when you first see the dude in the hurricane, don’t even try to tell me that’s not funny. My ribs hurt I was laughing so hard.
nickj116 on October 25, 2008 at 2:20 PM
Pay phone?
Cindy Munford on October 25, 2008 at 2:21 PM
..And I thought the first drunken waaasaaaaaap commercial was annoying.
GoodBoy on October 25, 2008 at 2:21 PM
That is the first time in a month I have seen even a hint of Missy Obama – yasir – she bin Hiden?
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 25, 2008 at 2:22 PM
Wow, 400,000 hits on YouTube at #3.
Here’s NUMBER TWO on YouTube with 800,000 hits, and a better political video:

This is making me itchy for November 4.
ManlyRash on October 25, 2008 at 2:22 PM
I can’t help but wonder what kind of jobs Obama is going to find for that wacky crew.
ctmom on October 25, 2008 at 2:22 PM
It certainly shows that Obama supports are true masters of communication and intellectual dialog.

Drunken-Slackers-Who-Don’t-Want-to-Grow-Up for Obama!
I wonder if the Obama campaign will design a special little “O” logo for this group of supporters, like they made special little icons for all the other groups they appeal to?
It was disappointing when they didn’t design a special icon for Liberal-Sluts-Who-Will-Sleep-with-Anyone-Wearing-an-Obama-Button after that web ad that came out a few months ago showing the liberal slut running away from the McCain supporter and into the arms of a complete stranger wearing an Obama button. Why didn’t the Liberal Sluts for Obama get an icon?
aero on October 25, 2008 at 2:26 PM
funny..
they are in the same place as they are 8 years ago..
DaveC on October 25, 2008 at 2:28 PM
That was way too funny! I hope they do a few more!
mycowardice on October 25, 2008 at 2:28 PM
Thank you for not being a wet blanket.
nickj116 on October 25, 2008 at 2:32 PM
Anheuser Busch is a foreign company. Let us hope they had nothing to do with the ad.
It seems Obama will be elected by foreigners. Who knew?

No, she was in Jacksonville, FL last week. She even had a mandatory fainter. Just one though.

These people are delusional.

Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 25, 2008 at 2:42 PM

amerpundit on October 25, 2008 at 2:07 PM
judging by their demeanor and how they’ve aged I’m guessing it is more than just crack.
theguardianii on October 25, 2008 at 2:44 PM
And the fellow in Iraq will STILL be there til at lease 2010 on the ONE.
Jamson64 on October 25, 2008 at 2:45 PM
It’s all fun and games until someone loses their liberty.
aero on October 25, 2008 at 2:45 PM
Eh. Sorta funny, but pretty much what you’d expect. But then, I’m not the target demographic. When I see a bunch of guys at home during the day and I think, “why aren’t they working?”
At least the creators resisted the lefty impulse to show the soldier guy committing acts of terror against innocent Iraqis.
Infidoll on October 25, 2008 at 2:46 PM
Couldn’t decide whether to laugh or puke. I thought about laughing until I puked, but it wasn’t that funny. I did like the part where the guy is trying to kill himself because his stock portfolio is supposed to be down so much – great metaphor for electing Obama.
How many Obama supporters who are center right thinkers but don’t understand anything about politics or government are going to be killing themselves in the next four years, I wonder? If he gets in, I’ll bet it’s a lot.
Jaibones on October 25, 2008 at 2:49 PM
I actually liked it. It was creative and funny. Although I never knew that Obama had the ability to stop hurricanes, but whatever.
SoulGlo on October 25, 2008 at 2:59 PM
The irony, of course, is that an Obama presidency could well be a sign of the coming apocalypse — not that he is the Antichrist, mind you, but perhaps The One who paves the way — guaranteeing that there will be more wars, rumors of wars, worsening financial crises, more hurricanes/earthquakes/tsunamis/fires/plagues/epidemics, ad nauseam.
Terrie on October 25, 2008 at 2:59 PM
ACORN workers who were supposed to be out registering new voters, but already made their quota using the phone book.
FalseProfit on October 25, 2008 at 3:02 PM
It’s part of his godlike control of the seas.
TexasDan on October 25, 2008 at 3:05 PM
I think we’ll have a lot of lefties even more unhappy with him. Does every generation need its own Carter?
Mojave Mark on October 25, 2008 at 3:07 PM
I’ve always hated these idiots.
Now I have one more reason……
FiveWays on October 25, 2008 at 3:19 PM
Wait….Obarfy can control the weather? NO SHIITE?
Well hell, if he can make Minnesota’s weather in January similar to that of Hawaii, he has my vote.
Bishop on October 25, 2008 at 3:23 PM
And I used to like thise guys… Pity, thats how you ruin a good thing…

maverick muse on October 25, 2008 at 3:30 PM
I’m with AP, all appears lost and a dem super majority is imminent.
Let’s all remember to look these guys up in 4 years. I’m willing to bet we never see or hear from them again.
swami on October 25, 2008 at 3:36 PM
Gosh, if I’d known BO was gonna solve all my problems I’d'a voted for him.
Too late. Marked my sample ballot already and I’m too lazy to change it.
Bob's Kid on October 25, 2008 at 3:37 PM
It’s nice that they could take some raw “Inside the Obama Campaign” documentary footage, and make a campaign commercial out of it.
RBMN on October 25, 2008 at 3:46 PM
Wait, it’s been 8 YEARS already since that commercial?
I feel very, very old.
Lincoln on October 25, 2008 at 3:48 PM
Grr. Good choice, putting in that Anheuser-Busch disclaimer at the end, before I had to say “conflict of interest.” Still think I’ll drop an email, though, in case there’s a copyright of some kind involved.
Tanya on October 25, 2008 at 4:01 PM
Not yet, they’re not.
Tanya on October 25, 2008 at 4:04 PM
Change…
we have ways of making you believe…
resistance is futile… you will be assimilated…
phreshone on October 25, 2008 at 4:18 PM
Oh, tell me that storm wasn’t meant to be Katrina!
Tzetzes on October 25, 2008 at 4:28 PM
Perfect description of the Obama campaign — a number of useless cliches and platitudes, built upon oversimplification and emotion.
Change you can believe in!

Easily amused and easlily led.
RobCon on October 25, 2008 at 5:08 PM
And friends don’t let friends vote stupid.
hahaha
csdeven on October 25, 2008 at 5:40 PM
I think it is safe to say we can put these guys in the “Real Men of Genius” category!
What a way to defile a beer and game moment! And I am a GIRL! This should be destroyed on tampering with beer and game viewing violations alone!
Looks like they took THE MESSIAH’S words as being “true” when he said he could heal the planet and cause the seas to recede! LMAO!
“True” this you bums, WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRUE THAT!!!!!!!!!!
freeus on October 25, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Which raises the question: What little October-November surprise is Hotair planning, in order to give Obama bin Biden that last little boost?
I’m betting they start doing their own videos again, with Obama-Biden ‘08 spots Rick-Rolled into them.
Tommygun on October 25, 2008 at 5:56 PM
Do you even have a clue how HUGE a percentage of the electorate that is?
philwynk on October 25, 2008 at 6:23 PM
And now, we know how old you are…
philwynk on October 25, 2008 at 6:24 PM
Would have been nice to have at least a few Democrats cross over…
philwynk on October 25, 2008 at 6:26 PM
Notice how those guys have no girlfriends, notice right?

Paper hats, polyester uniforms, SSI, homeless shelters, welfare, “40s” around the back of 7-11. Future Obama cabinet members.
Mason on October 25, 2008 at 8:28 PM
I was wondering if anyone was going to point that out. I have come to the conclusion that the dumb-asses are now the majority. Way to go NEA and public education.
pannw on October 25, 2008 at 10:06 PM
And the media is telling us to lie back and enjoy.
Pardon me while I go vomit.
olmojoe on October 26, 2008 at 12:20 AM
Considering the Tin-Foil Hat crowd thinks Bush can cause them, it’s only rational to them that The One can stop them from happening.
SkinnerVic on October 26, 2008 at 12:49 AM
These B list celebrities are starting to annoy me…

MadisonConservative on October 26, 2008 at 4:28 AM
“Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?”
– Patrick Henry, “Liberty or death” speech, March 23, 1775

This is what happens when you assume you can live the rest of your life on residuals.
drjohn on October 26, 2008 at 8:39 AM
As Hugh Hewitt said on Friday,
“We are in a recession. A McCain victory means a short and shallow recession. An Obama win means a long and perhaps deep decline in economic activity.
“If your retirement plan has plummeted and you want your money back.
“If you suspect your home is worth less than it was in September and you want the old value back.
“If you wonder what careers will be open to your children and your grandchildren, and whether the country’s military and national government will work to keep those children and grandchildren safe, and you want assurances on both counts.
“Then you have to vote for John McCain.”
eucher on October 26, 2008 at 8:46 AM
Incorrect ending credits! It should now read “Anheuser-Busch/In-Bev“, to reflect Bud’s new Belgian masters.
