This attack ad was made by the same group who released the controversial attack ad early this week on Fox News Channel, ABC and ESPN that questioned Obama's missing records. The newly formed group is called the 'Conservative Majority Fund' backed by big money out of Arlington,VA. Their recent ad this week caused a uproar with liberals and the media. There are a lot of doubters who disregard the fact that it is no big deal for a American president to be a Muslim, especially in a time of war against people who are Islamic extremist. It's so dangerous that it is a national security threat. This week a poll was released that shows Americans do not know what the presidents religion is. With that said, here is the president in his own words claiming to be a Muslim in the attack ad called "Who Are You Barack Hussein Obama?'. Pay attention at the 1:00-1:03 mark of the ad.

I disagree. It has a hit count of a little more than 4,000 which makes it pretty much a nothing. It is factually inaccurate in a couple of places, and therefore will be subject to attack on that basis. It is too long.
Some of us may regard it as a good ad because it says things we agree with, but as far as it having any useful impact on the independent voters we need to get rid of Obama, it looks like a failure to me.
Using that sign about Kenya being his birthplace is not at all truthful. That sign is a photoshop and does not exist in reality. That existence of that sign was debunked many months ago. The actual sign doesn't say that at all.
There are plenty enough bad things we can say about Obama without using made up sh*t. Also, humor works better than deadly serious for getting and maintaining an audience.
If it's "good", why does it only have a little over 4,000 hits? It is only "good" to those of us who agree with it's premise. To independents it is just blah. We need ads that make the independents wake up. This ad they won't even bother looking at.
The part about the Sign in Kenya is factually incorrect. Putting incorrect facts into an advertisement is not a good idea. I commend the producer for trying, but objectively it is not up to the quality we need to make a difference.
Yes, they could market it alongside Ambien, another sleep aid. Get real. Unless you make it interesting, it is a waste of time. Consider your target audience as having the attention span of a five year old, and you won't be off by much.

Document the number of times he’s attended a Christian Church Service during his tenure in office and compare that against the number of times he’s bowed to a Muslim potentate, and I’ll bet you the bows outnumber the Church visits. MULSIM! Pure and simple.
