Rick Perry's TV Commercial

I'm not a Rick Perry supporter, but this TV ad is pretty impressive. The production values are like a Hollywood trailer. I wonder what it cost?

Funny quote by Obama agreeing it's his economy. Though it's also funny the commercial complains about the zero national job growth in August when Rick Perry's Texas lost jobs in August. You can click on the YouTube logo to view it in larger size at YouTube.

I did not like it. Too busy, too glitzy and the volume jumped. Different strokes I guess.

I loved it too. Very powerful. And really put the dark reality of what obama has done and continues to promise.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry makes another wildly false claim in a new Web ad — saying that the U.S. poverty rate has hit an “all-time high.” In fact, the rate is the highest since 1993, but 7.3 percentage points lower than it was in 1959, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s most recent annual tally.

The Perry campaign also did some creative editing at the beginning of this ad, where Obama is heard saying: “I love these folks who say, well, this is Obama’s economy. That’s fine. Give it to me.” But that’s not exactly the way Obama really put it, though the editing is done so seamlessly that few if any listeners would suspect his remarks had been truncated.

What the president really said — in Michigan on July 14, 2009, after GM and Chrysler emerged from bankruptcy — was this (with portions deleted by Perry campaign in bold):

Obama, July 14, 2009: I love these folks who helped get us in this mess and then suddenly say, well, this is Obama’s economy. That’s fine. Give it to me.

What the Perry campaign edited out was Obama’s reference to those in Perry’s party whom he accused of helping to create “this mess.”

I wouldn't say Perry's ad made a "wildly false claim" about US poverty. But, yes, the ad didn't correctly state the facts. The ad did reference a 9-13-11 US Census Bureau report which actually exits...

http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/income_wealth/cb11-157.html

The report states:

The nation's official poverty rate in 2010 was 15.1 percent, up from 14.3 percent in 2009 ─ the third consecutive annual increase in the poverty rate. There were 46.2 million people in poverty in 2010, up from 43.6 million in 2009 ─ the fourth consecutive annual increase and the largest number in the 52 years for which poverty estimates have been published.

The ad was incorrect to state that the US Poverty rate is at an all-time high. It should of said the number of people living in poverty is the highest in 52 years, which probably is an all-time high because the population is largest as well. I don't know why they threw in "rate" because their point could of been made without it.

They also shouldn't of edited out part of what Obama said, but it is a political ad so it's not too surprising. The main point is that Obama did say "That's fine. Give it to me." in response to calling it Obama's economy. Again, not exactly wildly inaccurate.

BS edited comments in the beginning and mindless flag waiving at the end, just what I expected.

Because it is politics, is it okay to edit the President's remarks and omit part of what he said?

First, I didn't say it's OK. I said they shouldn't of done it.

People often omit parts of a quote in order to shorten things. It's done here all the time when quoting a poster and leaving out irrelevent stuff, and in political ads do you expect them to show Obama's whole speech? The main thing is you should not omit anything relevent to the point of the quote, and you definently should not add words or change words which makes it look like a person said something that they didn't really say.

That being said, I think it's clear that Obama did say "That's fine. Give it too me." He said it in regards to the economy being called "Obama's economy". How else would you interpret it?

Again, the words shouldn't of been omitted, but what else do you think Obama ment? It seems clear to me.

Nothing will ever top Reagan's "It's Morning In America" campaign commercials.

When I first posted, I was wondering why Perry's commercial ran 1 minute 45 seconds. Where on TV would it run at that wierd length?

Well, my question was partially answered since I saw Bill O'Reilly show the whole thing (I assume for free) on his show. lol
