The Eight Houses of Barack Obama
Here's the ad I want to see.
Starts with Baracck in front of his Chicago home.
I'm Barack Obama, and this is my home. Thanks to the many of you who bought my book, Michelle and I can finally afford to live like rich people. We democrats love rich people. Some of our best presidents were very rich, but they were very good at caring about the rest of us.
For me, this rich thing is brand new. This is the 2 bedroom condo Michelle, the girtls and I shared, before we bought the new house.
And this is the crap hole I lived in when I came to Chicago, straight out of college, to work with steelworkers getting laid off by the thousands.
And this is the apartment I lived in when my mother was on food stamps.
And this little living room? this is where Michelle and her sister slept, in her parents 1 bedroom apartment.
(spot ends with barack back in front of his house)
Coming from where we come from, its great to be rich. We want to build an America where everyone who starts like we did, can end up where we are. But because when you come where where we came, you forget where you came from

Why is there not edit button?
That last sentence should read "when you come from where we did, you never forget where you came from"
And I was on such a role...
