Ad Council + Obama = Backdoor Propaganda (Vanity)
Vanity | 09/30/09 | Me

Posted on 09/30/2009 5:26:51 AM PDT by nhwingut

Has anyone else noticed Obama popping up in all these Ad Council PSAs? His first campaign was 'Renew America Together.' Then he starred in 'Be a Good Dad.' Then he teamed up with the Army for a 'Stay in School' spot. And now he's all over the place with FeedingAmerica for a 'Feed the Hungry' campaign. That's 4 national campaigns in only 9 months - with many more to come (I'm sure).

My daughters say these Ad Council posters(with Obama's big mug) are all over their hall walls.

While all noble, this is pure propaganda - just like they do in dictator-run countries, meant to frame Obama as the Dear Leader. I don't recall George W Bush as the star of Ad Council commercials.

To me, the Ad Council (described as non-partisan?) looks to be Obama's backdoor propaganda machine.

The Ad Council is the ACORN of Madison Avenue.

So that’s why Bush “failed”- he didn’t put up enough posters of himself

Look, if he went and immediately painted his picture on the side of the White House (ala China’s Mao), it could cause a stir! This is just his “incrementalism” so that when the take over happens, we the sheeple are already used to seeing his face everywhere!

As seen on TV (Obama’s face), coming soon to the new Amero printed money! /Sarc off (kinda)

The more America sees him on TV, the more they realize how desperate he is to keep you fooled. Face it, he’s a failure and America is losing interest in him.

Using a spokesman who is viciously despised by 38% of your market seems counterproductive.

Tell the school board that when the next president (Republican fer sure) is seated, they must balance what they're doing now by posting her posters on the walls, showing all of her psa's, and having students sing chants praising her.

You’re correct. Local radio is slathered with lefty PSAs sponsored by the Ad Council. The majority of them are of the “get involved with government because industry is destroying our environment” type.

I’d like to see even more.
He’s like the Shamwow guy, and people are getting sick of seeing his mug.
By the time the 2012 election rolls around, he’ll be a tired joke, even to his faithful.
