Remember Hillary Clinton’s TV ad that tried to scare people into voting for her by suggesting that she, and not Obama, would be best prepared if the White House phone rang at 3 a.m.? The commercial used stock footage of a little girl sleeping peacefully in bed — but it turns out the little girl, now a teenager, is an Obama supporter, and in fact was actively campaigning for him before Hillary’s commercial appeared.
HA!

That’s why it’s stock footage! Who the child is really has no bearing on the matter – I’m much more interested in the shady manipulation done to the video by Clinton’s team.
I don’t like Obama’s policies, but the thought of a Hillary Clinton presidency makes me knees wobble.
I don’t even see the problem done with the manipulation done on the footage. When you purchase stock footage you are buying the rights to use that footage. You aren’t saying that the message that you are trying to portray is a message that the people in the footage agree with. It’s just supposed to show a generic person who could possibly believe what you have to say. Once the footage is purchased you are free to do what you want with it and I don’t think that the video ever said that the girl shown was a Hillary supporter.
Amazing! In other news, McCain sews up the Republican nomination, Lindbergh makes the first solo flight across the Atlantic, and dinosaurs become extinct!
Kidding…but this does beg the question–just how long were you in Austin, anyway? Obviously you were having a lot more fun than the rest of us.
“Who’d have thought that a little girl this [this] could destroy all [the] beautiful wickedness? What a world, what a world!”

I’m afraid she’ll take me Lucky Charms!
Correction to my earlier post: Change the first “this” to “like.” (How embarrassing.)
So instead of voting for a really big pile of poop, she’s just gonna vote for a less big pile of poop. Good for her.
Yeah, Eric, you’re a bit behind the times on this one.
You did hear about Lindbergh, though, right?
Geez, this is REALLY old news.
After getting caught lying about Bosnia, she says she did it because she was sleep deprived. How sleep deprived are you going to be at 3 am Hillary?
