So the one demographic Obama performs worst with- over 65- and the response is to insult most of them too?  This is the dumbest of all Obama ads.  Talk about out of touch.

On the converse, I applaud the ad where Obama talks directly to the camera. Why didn't he do this for the last 6 weeks?

It may be getting a little late in the game to truly change people's minds.  The 51% who voted for Bush 4 years ago have apparently not gained any brain cells over the intervening years.  It may just come down to the fact that 51% of America does not want ANY Democrat in charge.   [Don't bring up Bill Clinton; he couldn't break 50% in 1996 against a living fossil, and he only won in 1992 because Perot messed things up for Bush I.  Does anybody really think in a one on one battle, Bill would have won?]

I think the only thing that will get a Democrat elected President is another economic depression.  We need massive (+10%) unemployment at the very least, before people wake up to their own self-interest.
