CNN

A president is responsible for bills they sign!

Bush came into office with a recession after the tech bubble burst – - not fair to blame Clinton. He took our National debt from $5.5 trillion to $10billion over 8 years – that's $4.5 trillion! unacceptably high.

Obama also comes in during a recession after the housing bubble burst – - also not fair to blame Bush. His first year (he signed!) he will increase the debt by $1.5 trillion! His challenge is to do better than Bush. So far he has done terrible but there is still time for him to change his path.

If President Obama increases our debt by $4.5 trillion over the next 4 years as is projected, he'll go down in history as the most fiscally irresponsible President and won't get re-elected. For his sake and ours, I hope he changes his strategy.

This too much.... The dog was bought with his own money, earned from that of a Senator and Author (Palin you are not an author).

So he went to a game, Bulls vs Wizards. Did he not buy the ticket with his money?

The Air Force One photo op.. People please, the President in not in charge of Air Force One the US Air Force maintains the plane. Plus, Air Force One has it's own P.R. department, they made the scheduled photo op.

The drowning in debt was under "W", if anyone steered this country towards Socialism by taking over troubled banks it was "W" that was signed under him in Sept 20.

Once again, facts misrepresented by the GOP/RNC for the Kool Aid Limbaugh believer to gulp down.

Money spent on the Iraq War to date:
$857,000,000,000

Money spent torturing terror suspects to generate false data in support of invading Iraq:
Classified

George Bush's Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008:
$700,000,000,000

No-bid contract awarded Haliburton for repairing the Iraqi oil infrastructure:
$7,000,000,000

Total revenue generated for Haliburton by US government contracts in Iraq:
$13,000,000,000

Being a bitter whiny white male Republican who only finds his principles when his political party is no longer in power:
Priceless

Hypocrites is what the republicans are, my tax money was spent in a worthless war, based on lies that has cost thousands of HUMAN lives on both sides, but those criminals never asked me if was OK to spend our money, now that the money is actually being spent on the American people somehow that's bad, this numskulls need a reality check, use the money on US meaning USA not on f....... WARS, the days of warmongering are OVER!!!!!!!. Republicans love to whine and complain, but the only ones to blame are the fools that are looking back at you in the mirror + GOP!!!!!!. I renaunce and denaunce the awful day that I ever considered voting for repbs. never everrrrrrrrrr. KARMA HAS MADE A COME BACK.

Wish I could laugh at the ad, but since it's so true it makes it so sad.

"Obama's 10-year budget plan has more red ink per year than the highest amount ever run up under a full year of Bush."

Bush left the wars off the books which would have cranked his deficits higher than those Obama is proposing. Please get your facts straight before you post such nonsense.

Here are some numbers I prefer:

Number of draft dodgers to bankrupt a superpower: 2

Mis-guided war s: 10 billion a month for 6 yrs

Additional American headstones at Arlington: 4300 & counting

Leaving it all for the next guy to clean up, while my VP and Party complains: Priceless

No Mo Bush:

where is the "name calling" in this ad? just curious

Congrats to the ad agency who took the GOP's money for this "Ad". Hope it cost a bundle. The new best friend was a gift from Senator Kennedy, I doubt he required a check. Court side seat, the president can afford it, if I'm not mistaken he also passed up the taxpayers 100,000 to re-do white house redidence. He and the first Lady are paying for that themselves, and they didn't need to issue a press release or pat themselves on the back. The taxpayer bailout, republicans voted for that too. Should you boys be putting together your budget without numbers, memorial day is a week away, and Boehner will need tanning time. I guess Republicans don't have credit card debt.

That didn't stop the Republicans when they were in charge... I am not saying that spending without control is a good thing; it isn't. The spending that Obama is doing is trying to get the country restarted; the Republicans didn't need to restart the economy; they were spending because they could.

hey Rick CT, I'll excuse your ignorance, but studies show that 80% of the current nat'l debt was created by the last three GOP presidents not the Dems, so go read a book

RIGHT ON .we have to stop these liberal marxis democrats from taking over th country.

The Republicans have been dumbing down ever since Spiro Agnew started in with his attacks on "effete, intellectual snobs". They have achieved success beyond their wildest dreams. There is no one with intelligence left in the republican party, look at their standard bearers Sarah Palin and Joe the plumber. Now when they are generally regarded as the party with no new ideas they prove it beyond doubt by not even coming up with a new idea for their latest attack ads. The master card thing is well beyond its prime and is now cliche. You would think that someone, however dumb, would have realized they need a new idea when they are labelled as the party of no new ideas.

Is it only liberal Democrats that have time during the day to read and comment to CNN? I had to wait for my lunch break since I have a job and don't depend on welfare.

obama because of his wife lived way over his had. only thing that saved him was geirge soros sponsoring his book.

he has three mortgages on his condo in chicago before he was rewarded after becoming a celebrity.

What a shameful, desperate idea this commercial was. *chuckles*

Really – you want us to believe that you are a party of substance and all you can come up with is his pet purchase and basketball seats? Can you get any more irrelevant? The fact that you keep trotting out the same old tactics, that fact that you cannot resist whining, the fact that you cannot put a thoughtful reasoned idea together – all reasons you will continue to be the Party of No. If Rush is so influential, why do Republicans keep losing at the polls??????? He preaches to the choir, that's all.

Boy is this the pot calling the kettle black. I guess when Bush ran up huge debts giving rich people tax breaks it is okay but using money to help the working class and ordinary people there is a problem. Where was the fiscal conservative then? I guess they were too busy having homo-erotic dreams about the beating, rape ad torture of other men.

One simple fact says it all ..............

President Obama has spent more of our money in 100 days than ALL of the other Presidents COMBINED. SAD BUT TRUE, there is no way that can be good for our country even if he were putting it directly into our bank accounts. Wake up America.

Bush voted for the first bailout...did he get an ad like this from the RNC?

Bush also spent a lot on Iraq...didn't hear any whining from the Repukes then.

@Democrat no more-
Can you come up with something of more substance than these weak right wingnut talking points about Michelle's arms and Barack making small talk about his daughter's reaction to their school closing cuz of snow??? No seriously, if you were trying to win an arguement or even prove to anyone how awful Obama is you failed miserably. Next time you might want to consider just not posting anything if its seriously gonna reach this poorly into insignificance.

No one believes you were ever a Democrat so change your name also.

This is the best the gop has got?

How about some solutions to the problems the last republican administration created? I guess that's way too much to ask.

From this ad, it is clear republicans are digging more and more their own grave!

@Will 18E May 14th, 2009 12:46 pm ET

Lets see Bush's last budget was 3.4 Trillion. This did not include funding for TARP, and the wars in Afganastan and Iraq.

Obama's budget is 3.5 trillion and includes all the above.

So who is the real big spenders?
***

Um, I think you missed some facts, there, Will. Isn't there a supplemental budget request out right now for funding the wars? And according to the constitution of the United States, Congress is the only governing body that can fund anything...so blame Congress for the spending!

Could someone tell me where was the GOP when G.W.B. was running this country into the ground. Now all of a certain they have all these great plans. I think you should have used them the last eight years. because now it's to late to call a foul, or is it because OBAMA is in office.

With Obama being in office a less than six months, it's clear that our problems are the fault of George Bush, not the new guy. He's just trying to clean up the mess. If you take time to actually read the plan, there will be a government surplus at the end (just like when Clinton left office). I think it's obvious who can manage the economy better.

Look how sad, impotent, dishonest, and wreckless the RNC is...

...the people who support conservatism are too dumb to even be remembered when they're gone...

...I just wish they'd magically disappear...

...but somehow I KNOW those of us who have any pride left about this country...

...are going to be forced to drive them into political and ideological extinction...

Hey Ghost,

I'm sure you don't mind that $8.5 billion of taxpayer money was sent to ACRON even after that group has been indicted in several states for voter fraud.

When will you all wake up and see reality?

as I said in nov 08. this is the end of the republican party as we know it.

OMG!
An ad against your leader the "Messiah".
Can you handle it?

One question to all the Obamabots here,

Will there ever come a time when you think that Obama should be responsible for his actions, or will you continue to blame Bush for the continued failings of your Fueher?

Courtside seats OMG!!!! He is the FREAKING PRESIDENT I thought!!!!!! He should have had his own boxseat!!!!!!!!

The DNC should reply with a similar add: same words, under a picture of one of the mutli-million dollar star-wars gadgets that the Bush/[R]-congress budget bought back in 2001-2002, instead of investing that money in anti-terrorism, as the minority congressional [D]s wanted.

The level of hypocrisy and delusion it takes to be a [R] these days must be clinially diagnosable. These people are sick, or are incredibly stupid.

He pretty much just comes off as a commie when he gives his "materiel possessions" spiel. And when you considder his and his wife's success in elitism, and continued collection of "evil materiel possessions," well, he just come off as the hypocrite that most aspiring tyrants actually are... like Al Gore.

Saturday Night Live did a skit once where a political candidate continued to campaign long after he had lost. The politician that won had to get a restraining order to keep him away..lol. At the time it was funny because it was COMEDY. But in real life it is just scary....

The GOP is a joke. Lets be real here people. The only reason the GOP is doing the things they're doing is, that party hates to see a African American in the White House, lets be real. How can you have the Bush/Chaney Admin. in the White House for 8yrs and they were allowed to run this country into the ground, start two wars, millions being killed over in Iraq, BILLIONS of tax payers dollars being spent over there to rebuild that country, 5.7 million people here, lost their jobs b/c of their policies, Banking system collapse b/c they were allowed to ROBB the people, mortgage melt down, but let them tell it, Obama has reign the country. Like I said before, if the White guy does it, it's ok, but if the black guy trys to help the average American, he's a Socialize, his a Commie, and everything else you can think of. Get a LIFE you bigots in the GOP party.

You know, I voted for Obama....and I love the way that he is handling himself in office...I really look up to him and his wife a great deal...However, while the Republican National Committee's ad completely leaves out conveniently the debt that Obama's administration inherited from Bush...and the tremendous mountains of trouble that the Obama administration is having to navigate us out of....I have to say, great job GOP. Great video! Whether you agree or not, that was the best effort that I have seen coming from the GOP in a long time...it was smart, clever, funny, and not malicious in tone...I'll give them two thumbs up on that one...

way to go! Everything is true...

What are they doing about what these credit card companies are doing to us? Where's their plan? If you can't bring a solution to the table that will help the American people please SHUTUP!

Like 7 years of war in Iraq and tax breaks for billionaires on the backs of the poor. Sounds like the RNC should try a little practice before they start to preach.

Laaaaaame....

So the "Bush card" was giving money to Republican allies and friends and screw the taxpayer and America....
I'll Take the "Obama Card" dedicated to fixing our country and showing true patriotism anyday... SIGN ME UP!

@shucks

" I never, ever, remember the democrats doing anything like this after they lost an election."

Are you kidding me? You must be less than 4 years old.

The dog and the seats came out of his own pocket, most people on Wall Street are REPUBLICANS so I doubt they're his cronies, and that stupid flyover wasn't something he ordered. Oh, and we had $10 trillion dollars of national debt before he came into office ($52 trillion of obligations if you count items like Social Security and Medicare).

I wish the RNC would spend their time & energy helping to get us out of the mess they had a big hand in creating instead of wasting them on stupidness like this pathetic ad.

LAUGH OUT LOUD ...

The GOP get more desperate every day

What a pile of crap the Republican party has become in the past 8 years

I can not even believe that they expect even one sensible American to fall for this BS ...

Republicans .... The Party Of NO ... common sense

Typical, let's criticize the president without putting forth any plans of our own other than more tax cuts. This ad is preaching to the choir and you already know there aren't enough of them to win elections anymore. Keep digging.

My response is:
BUSH:
-ignore the national deficit: 1 trillion
-open Guantanamo: 50 million
-sweetheart Iraq contracts to Halliburton: 50 billion
-allow oil prices to hit 4.50 a gallon in 2008: 10 billion
-tax breaks for the ultra rich: 100 billion

-GOP getting their butts paddled in the last election: PRICELESS!!!

maybe, just MAYBE if the Republicans can put enough effort into coming up with some ideas or solutions that would counter the Dems and the president, more people would be impressed and their 33% approval rating might go up. The money wasted on airing this ad plus paying whoever wrote it is just a sign of a group that has NO answers for anything at all.

The guys in republican party are actually senile or forgetful. All of the money that the Bush administration racked up is not something that the republican party wish to talk about. That is why this concept is so dumb.

With these tired old Republican gimmicks I don't think President Obama will have to campaign for a 2nd term. The RNC is doing a "heck of a job (Brownie)" for him.

So all the people benefiting from the stimulus money are Obama cronies?! Too funny!

As soon as Al Frankin gets in the party of "No & Woe" will no longer be relevent. Bye Bye.

Beauty Queen Dingbats – UNITE!

Yeah the money for the dog and tickets didn't come from his book deals or anything like that.......

Our money definitely shouldn't supply ACORN. The former head of ACORN embezzled money. Whistle blowers were fired. Systematic incentive programs to get workers to sign up more voters were illegal. Indictments (and/or guilty pleas) to voter fraud in 9 states. Investigations ongoing in other states. This organization is corrupt and needs to be investigated, de-funded and dismantled. It received millions of tax payer money and is eligible for billions more under this new so-called stimulus bill. We don't have the money to fund ACORN and even if we did have the money someday, we shouldn't.

I'm okay with making it easier to register and vote but targeting democratic areas only? Registering fake names or illegal immigrants? Registering the same person 20 times? Are we a democracy or a farce. No more ACORN!!

Ok... so Here's my take CNN:

ok so what the heck was the purpose of the video... what's the alternative??? what's your way...nope just another video disrespecting the current president and administration and make him look bad when your party did you very best to cover up the mistakes of Bush but yet we want to put obama on blast???

uknow what that's what makes obama different than any of your GOP bastards he's willing toaccept when he's wrong make the necessary changes to reverse them and make great decisions such as the sniper taking out the Somlian pirates and then the economies turnaround. Go find a hole and bury u selves in it. You know they don have a GOP Card because you know what its good for NOTHING. the Dem's should counter with the GOP Good For Nothing Card. Call it the GOP GFNC

I wonder how many jobs the GOP created with the money they spent on the ad?

I like the commercial. Reading the posts on here though, the liberals are just going to stay in denial.

And to Joey : Yes $11 trillion defecit belongs to Bush. Obama took us to another $787 billion. Where's this going to end? This is Obama's economy now and our debt is getting larger.

This president is an absolute joke.

Que-up the O'bots.

Anything that criticizes Obama is blasphemy!! Just look at the posts here. These idiots are dumber than followers of Stalin and twice as hateful.

Voice: Steal the 200 election with the help of the Supreme Court
Voice: Take a 2.7% surplus and turn it into a $8 Billion deficit
Voice: Give multiple tax cuts to the top 5% of earners
Voice: Start two wars that aren't even included in the budget numbers
Voice: Cry about the debt that Obama is creating – Hypocrites.

Campaign contributions to Bush from big oil–$27 million
Price hike in gas - $4 dollars
Haleburton contracts in Iraq - $8 billion
Increase in budget deficit during Bush years–1.5trillion
Safeguarding the interests of the rich and big corporations while stomping on the poor–Priceless

The Repugnant Party Card - don't leave your penthouse without it!

Wow...I can't believe what a bunch of looney- tunes they are professing to be! Can we put Rush Limbla picture instead of the elephant for the GOP? That's more like it! thanks! LOL...

as one can never overestimate the american people.

they voted for GW and cheney twice.

they cheered for the war on iraq as they thought they'd make out good.

they condoned murders, rapes, tortures, lootings, fleecing, and every crime against humanity perpetrated by the US soldiers and civilians and mercernaries in their name.

they are more than willing to nuke any nation if that means a buck or two more in our pocket.

Just more snide swifting boating stuff from those who know how to do it the very best !!! One whould think the RNC and its wah hoo's would get it by now but I guess not. IF'N they knew how to run the country better financially then why didn't they do it while they were in charge instead of running us so far into debt ?

The RNC and DNC are both pathetic with the amateur hour ads! To all you bloggers that write, where were you when Bush was spending too much money. Where were you? Were you complaining? If so you are a hypocrite for thinking it is ok for Obama to spend our future away. If you agreed with Bush and Obama's spending, than you are a part of this countries problem!

Barack is trying. You republicans can not stand human compassion. And your mouthpiece Rush proves that. You are selfish, uncaring, and super greedy, then wonder why America can't stand you. Keep being the fools that you are and 2010 will see a lot of your hero's on unemployment.

This man is a SITTING president. Democratically elected by the people he so assiduously, and compassionately represents. It is not as if he was lining his pockets with our tax dollars.

That being said, and in all fairness to any Republican that can still call themselves one out there: how would you handle this crap we're in? We're all in this together; we sink or swim together, so give us YOUR well-thought out, suma cum laude economist advice on how YOU would handle this differently.

I'm listening................

Aren't these the same republicans who wanted to give all these CEOs tax breaks and corporate welfare when they were doing well? The same ones who wanted to throw maoney at every special give away the Bush administration came up with? Now, when the President is trying to use targeted spending to clean up the mess left by eight years of Republican idiocy, they start complaining? No wonder most of America thinks that the Reichpublicans are out of touch.

So all the liberals get their feelings hurt when someone critizes the policies of this President... very double standard... maybe you'll wake up someday when you've lost all your freedoms.....and it's too late...

Hey, the Stimulus monies did include 'pork' and 'earmarks' for Republican states, or did they conveniently forget it? Oh, wait, that's right, the GOP Senators didn't want to have to work over a holiday weekend to READ the plan, so they wouldn't even know.......

Everytime the Reslugs open their ignorant mouths it's so priceless for the Dems to watch them become even more irrelevant eveyday.

I believe that Barack has paid for all his personal entertainment. While the stimulus package still needs time to germinate.

Republicans need a new ad firm. This one is neither original, nor entertaining.

Seriously, when is the GOP going to learn that if it wants to win back voters, they need to come up with some actual ideas? How much taxpayer money was spend on that pointless commercial that doesn't offer any solutions to our current problems? Just more name calling and distraction. Priceless? Try Pointless.

Obumbler has quadrupled the debt left by Bush.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stupid because the GOP still hasn't come up with any policy to change anything they SCREWED up the past 8years. WHERE IS there policy? Do they even have a plan?

The Party of "No" might have more credibility if they had more credibility.

Wasn't the puppy a gift from Senator Kennedy?

The story states the RNC ad refers to "... Obama's recent purchase of a Portuguese Water Dog,... But in a previous CNN story ..http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/04/14/first.dog/ It states that the dog was a gift from Sen Kennedy. For which story can I assume there will be a correction or a retraction on the part of CNN?

You have to love how the republicans were defending Bush's massive tax cuts to the rich back in 2003 against detractors who said it massively increases the national debt by saying "Reagan proved deficits and the national debt don't matter"

And the republicans didn't make a peep when Bush DOUBLED the national debt in 5 years. And now as soon as a democrat is in office, they scream about the national debt! They are just shameless!

One question:

Did or did not a bunch of Democrats vote for the Iraq war?
Did or did not a Congress and Senate run by Democrats vote to fund the Iraq war?
Is or is not Obama escalating the war in Afghanistan?
Funny, half of you describe Republicans as toothless and dumb church going rednecks from the fly-over states, and half of you describe Republicans as the wealthiest land grabbing uncaring people alive. Which is it? Truth be told, the Democrats in this country are some of the wealthiest people there are. What makes you believe that they care about the ordinary citizen? Does keeping people in a welfare state mean they care about ordinary people?
Clue: Republicans are normal everyday people just like you libs. We probably agree on more than we disagree on. Get off your high horse election victory and realize we better work together to make things happen, or we will fail as a country. STOP THE POLITICAL HATRED!

" The RNC grasping at straws daily only to continue to slip further into extinction ?"...................................PRICELESS!!!!

The funny thing is that no one is going to care about this ad except for people who already have their minds made up about the current administration. Yes, people who are in denial. Who cares what they think. Let them waste their millions trying to sling mud and place the blame on Obama. Keep pushing the moderates further and further away from you, GOP. Yeah, that will work.

I'm amazed at how stupid the Republicans think we are...they are such a bunch of hypocritical morons. Frankly, I'm insulted once again by what they think we typical American's will believe. Idiots. Sorry losers, I haven't forgotten our 8 years of misery and mismanagement. 8 years President Obama didn't cause. Keep up the good work Obama, you have worked tirelessly for us since you came into office. And what a mess you have to clean up. Bush & Cheney and the rest of the RNC should be cleaning your toilets.

This is just like the Democratic anti-Rush ads. So, I guess it is fair game. Funny, how many people get upset about the RNC ads but applaud the same DNC attack ads.

STOP BEING HYPOCRITS! How annoying...

PJ May 14th, 2009 12:51 pm ET
Who are these jokers kidding? Keep it up! There won't be a party left except at Rush's place…and his radio booth is tiny.

It's actually a fairly large booth, he's just so corpulent you can't see most of it. They position the dittocam so that you see Rush at his slimmest – in 3/4 profile.

More empty shenanigans.

GOP Strategery: If we do whatever we can to convince all the people who already vote for us to vote for us harder, we'll get more votes.

ummmm....

The RNC forgot to add the billions and billions of our dollars going to fund two wars for the War President GWB. Now they complain that, God forbid, our government by the people, of the people and for the people should actually want to help the people! I realize that this is a weird and foreign concept for the RNC to understand.

This is the same party where it took the Boehner FIVE DAYS to snap back a witty retort to Obama's "person of color" joke. Lot of bright bulbs there.

Why is it that every time I watch a Republican ad, it reminds me of the propaganda fed to the Deltas in Huxley's "Brave New World"?

Correction, Repubs......Pres. Obama did not buy their dog! And as much as I wish they would've or could've got a rescue pup, it's wonderful to know his daughters will have the experience living and learning to care for a companion dog in their family. The rest of your "purchase list", get over it!

Don't you people at the RNC have a clue!? YOU and your party are the ones that got us INTO this mess! For goodness sake, you must think the American people, who voted you OUT, are the dumbest people on the planet.

Pres. Obama is trying to clean up YOUR mess. Your eight years of scandal ridden, everything for the upper class top 1% of the country administration!

We are all laughing at you. Even republicans are laughing as your part dissolves right before your eyes. Stop blaming Pres. Obama, take ownership and LISTEN to what the people in this country WANT.

Rush Limbaugh – 450lb hypocritical drug addict
Dick Cheney – political has been that scared an entire world
The Two Faces of the "New" republican party! PRICELESS!

How original. Not only did the copy the DNC ad campaign, they palgerized a credit card company ad format to do so.

Even when they try to be creative, they still have no new ideas.

And what ironic republican misdirection when they talk about paying off cronies, when the republican party spent decades rolling back financial controls at the direction of their Wall Street masters and awarded uncounted millions in no-bid contracts to Cheney companies.

The interesting thing, is that now every comment is switched.

4 years ago, everything thats being said "they have no plan" etc.. was from Rep's to Dem's.. now the Dem's are saying the Rep's have no plans. Politics is funny like that, the same old lame arguments, switched back and forth from one party to the other.

Here is the irony, neither party has a plan. Welcome to reality, where parties don't mean anything.

Bush didn't ruin the economy. Obama isn't ruining the economy. The USA didn't ruin the worlds economy. Everyone is trying to fix it, but they don't know how to fix it..

I have a quote: "If at first you don't succeed, try not to blame the President."

3 air planes hi jacked, Twin Towers in NYC destroyed, a damaged Pentagon, Thousands of lives lost , 2 wars and many more lost lives, 7 year failure to capture Osama Bin ladin, Financial collaspe of our banking system, Mortgage crisis, Gas crisis, Torture, rise of Irans influence in the Middle East.

Hey GOP!!! What is the price tag for all this which you have done over the last 8 years???!!!!

What grade are they in? To bring up the dog shows their true colors. How sad.

100,000+ Iraqi deaths and destruction of Iraq's infrastructure: priceless.

STFU GOP.

I like Obama, but the spending has to stop. Also, didn't the DNC launch enough attacks recently? Neither party will ever grow up

Hilarious blaming Prez Obama again for all the problems the Reslugs created that took down this country.

I support Obama but this commercial is rather true

CNN can you please post my comments! Its nothin bad or imflammatory and yet you guys never post my comments! Whats up with that?

Lol – what a funny ad. Very clever.

The Republicans just don't get it. Obama is doing his best to turn around our country's fortunes, and all the GOP can do is slam him. They should be trying to work WITH him, not stop him. They truly do not care about the country and its citizens. They can't cover up their blatant racism, for starters; then they try to be funny, which they aren't very good at; all the while they have no ideas to bring to the table, nor do they have any true leadership. Any political party that has a buffoon for its spokesman certainly should be fearing for its very existence. The only people that stay with them are the ones that are led by the intellectual flyweights of Fox News, by the whiny, asinine loser from the last election, and by old white men that don't see that their time is up. We need a second party to balance the Democrats, but these guys truly have no clue what is happening just beyond their noses.

"The spot highlights Obama's recent purchase of a Portuguese Water Dog"

I would expect CNN–the world's leading news organization–to know that the dog was a gift from Senator Kennedy.

Thanks for all the crying about this ad, Obamites. Your anger feeds me.

Yet more cr4p from the rightwingnuts. How is it you people are THIS deaf???

Ralph Nader already used this idea back in 2004, when Mastercard took him to court over its use. I doubt they'll complain when the Republicans use it.

Not original, but it will be effective. The shame of all this is that Americans are going to believe that Obama is actually a Socialist, rather than a left-leaning Democrat. If they end up liking his reforms, they will believe themselves to be Socialists as well. When actual Socialists enter the scene, they will be sympathetic to their cause.

Another dumb ad by the party of No!

The original mastercard ad is over a decade old. Way to be inventive with your venom-spewing.

There isn't an original thought among them.

John-Black Hills SD May 14th, 2009 12:49 pm ET

How about the money and blood that's been spent and spilled over the republicans fictional reasons for starting a war based on rumors that never panned out. It's time for the RNC to pull their heads out of their rear orifice and smell the air of the real world.
--------------–
John, Did you not know or just forget that practically ALL the Democrats voted to go to war in Iraq? And what about Obama an HIS war in Afghanistan now? Where do we find your head?

GOP: the party of no new ideas.

An identical parody of George W. Bush came out in 2001.

The GOP is so void of any message for middle class America. ..As we can see, they actually need an Obama slogan or advertisement to get attention at all.... Their so irrelevant. Maybe we (America) should outsource the GOP to other countries politically.. the same way they outsourced our American jobs economically.

Starting a war based on lies- millions of dollar
lining your friends pockets with contracts- millions of dollars
destroying the economy- millions of dollars
watching your party dissappear-priceless

Aw, truth hurts doesn't it you liberal pukes.

The GOP is so void of any message for middle class America. ..As we can see, they actually need an Obama slogan or advertisement to get attention for at all.... Their so irrelevant. Maybe we (America) should outsource the GOP to other countries politically the same way they outsourced our American jobs.

Money spent launching this ad: $7,000,000

Blood spilled for an unjustified war: Priceless

Is this the best that they could come up with? Sick of the name calling that they do. They and Bush tore this country up. They are the worst in American history.

Why is it socialism for the administration to "take over" banks that are using federal funds to stay afloat? Are they dictating how they do buisness? Are they restructuring they entire operation? Or are they just making sure that taxpayer money doesn't go towards CEO bonuses. I get it, no regulations whatsoever. That is the real reason banks are scrambling to repay that money. They wish to continue in their practices of overindulgence.

I am just astonished that the blame of Bush's actions on this country should now be shifted to Obama. You don't just move on and forget the man who put our country into the hole and shift that blame to the new guy!

More pathetic manure from the Republicans. But does anyone really expecting anything different from this group of liars, bumblers, clowns and fiscal fools?

Hypocrites! Were was this message/commerical/propaganda when Bush (Dubya) was spending the surplus and everything else? Who are
these jokers kidding? Keep it up! There won't be a party left except at Rush's place...and his radio booth is tiny.

That ad sucks!!!

The Republican can not use our park or our street or our side walk or any thing that make by tax that we pay . They have to go just stay in homes that they build up by not paying tax

People really need to get their facts straight on our debt situation...

11+ trillion in debt belongs to BUSH!

Tired, inneffective politicians, tired, ineffective policies, tired, ineffective humour.

How about the money and blood that's been spent and spilled over the republicans fictional reasons for starting a war based on rumors that never panned out. It's time for the RNC to pull their heads out of their rear orifice and smell the air of the real world.

I'm wondering where they get the $787 Billion from. Have they actually tabulated the budget line item by line item to groups that supported Obama and if so, which programs would the GOP ask to be cut? Health Care Iniatives, Social Security, Unemployment Coverage, Mortgage Assistance? Once the GOP lays out a spending plan of their own then they can tear down on Obama's spending.

Nice try GOP, but you still have ZERO PLANS.

it is so nauseating seeing the GOP talk about fiscal responsibility and the trillions of dollars of debt when it was THEM who put us there. Now they're saying Obama did it? Absolutely despicable!

i thought the dog was a gift from the kennedy's...which mean it was not purchased,,also, it didnt work out with the family who owned it prior to the obama's which means it was also homeless.

I love it, this kind of advertising will guarantee the demise of the Republican Party, keep it coming GOP.

Lets see Bush's last budget was 3.4 Trillion. This did not include funding for TARP, and the wars in Afganastan and Iraq.

Obama's budget is 3.5 trillion and includes all the above.

So who is the real big spenders?

Unbelievable – would like to know what it cost Americans when EX President Bush landed on an aircraft carrier and declared" mission accomplished".. The costs of that statement in money let alone lives are quickly forgotten by the RE "DUD" ICANS...

Sooner or later, Obama will have to take responsibility for the mess we're in and stop blaming his predecessor. What is going on in the economy right now has Obamas fingerprints all over it. When his plan fails, he will have to man-up and own up to it. That will be his downfall.

Obama's 10-year budget plan has more red ink per year than the highest amount ever run up under a full year of Bush.

Obama's claim of inheriting a $1.3 trillion deficit is pure fiction considering that most of the $1.3 trillion was either approved by the Dems over considerable Rep opposition in the waning days of the Busdh admin or sign into law by Obama in his opening days.

And Obama has now expanded that to $1.8 trillion...and counting.

Lookie there.. The Party of No is cracking jokes on its way down the crapper..

TjayeInLA , "THEY" did not put us here. Can you possibly get into your head what Obama's plan for this nation is? If you understand his plan and think it's a good one, why don't you just pack up, move to Cuba or Venezuela and live the rest of your life in imaginary bliss?

The GOP just don't get it do they? They are totally useless, worthless and irrelevant. They are just wasting their time and money and driving more people away by putting out these pointless ads.

You REPUGS caused all the financial burden on this country and other nations. Now, you guys want to blame Obama for the mess you all left us in SHAME SHAME on the REPUGS.

You all carelessly let things go overboard, such as WallStreet, Madroff, Bank Exe, Credit Card Co The Big Four,These companies made and took until it has left us in dispair.

show a picture of cheney and rush after mom mcain yells , WHERES THE BULL?.

OK, now the GOP has launched this ad, what's their plan. Just as I thought, they have none. No plan for the economy, no plan for health care, no plan for education, no plan for social security, no plan for jobs, no plans at all.

Is this the RNC finally admitting that they pay for their "friends?"

Some repugnant repubs are determined to present the party as an infallible and unmistakable one, which is very hard for us to stomach it, though.

Too bad they can't focus all the energy into something positive that can help the American people, once again just looking out for themselves. The are running so scared it is too funny.

Dwayne in PA – we were already paying that much under Bush, or don't you know how to read?

1 million dollars a day to people who leave IED's to kill our soldiers.
1 million dollars a day to people who behead our soldiers and drag them thru the streets of Iraq.

Joe, the ReTalibans wouldn't know the truth if Chinny shot it in their face.

Dimwits making dimwitted stuff. Sounds like the average republican and their dimwitted ways.

Good ad. Too bad they didn't post the $100.00 steaks and cranks the thermostat in the winter up to 72 degrees while others are being told to keep it at 68 and mocks DC for closiing schools "because of a little snow", so he can go jackletless and his wife can go sleeveless in the winter on taxpayers tab, let alone ALL that ENERGY WASTED and added Carbon emitting in to the atmosphere.

Isn't this like the 2 million ad they came out with now? I mean, ohh wow, I'm so scarred!!! This is the same party who's identity every week changes more than Two-Face himself, LOL!!!

But is O.K! Gov Palin to the rescue with her new book!! After it sells well, she's gonna be the next best seller leading her party...I mean, leader, sorry, LOL!!!

Wow... talk about irony. The GOP wants to slam someone for crony capitalism. Pot.. meet skillet.

They must be talking about the Bush Card. That is why we are in this mess!

Wheres the add about not including expenses (wars) on the books? There is a reason the budget has increased so much – Bush kept the cost of the wars off the books. I could make my budget good too if I didn't count my expenses.

@ Charles who says "either you don't know whats going on in the economy or don't care" . . .

Yes, I do know whats going on, do you? When the RNC comes up with real solutions to the issues that they quite frankly caused and stop their selective amnesia and finger pointing, I will be more than willing the listen. Until that time, nothing the RNC puts out can be taken seriously because it isn't meant to be serious. Hence, the commercial.

Must be a very good ad to have all the little Dem cockroaches coming out in the light to voice their opnion of it. Bulls eye is on Obama's back and the far left now; I don't think they like it.

The more these republicans go the more they show the public their true face. Keep it up reprobates you won't win any seats in 2010 and wouldn't that be nice oh nice oh nice.

Reggie – If you don't have money to pay interest rates on a credit card, DON'T BUY IT! If you can't afford Nikes go to Payless; if you can't Heiniken, buy Miller...

It's amazing the people who complain about credit card rates. You signed an application; they sent you a contract when the card came, and you picked up the phone to activate the card. Then you didn't pay your bill on time or you charged more than your worth. Why should responsible people be responsible for your irresponsibility?

AGH!!! Stop!

I, although a democrat, prefer a two party system! Has the RNC not figured out that that American public, at least the majority of it, is over the whole fear and negativity scene?! Please, please, express your opinions, provide balance, but do it in a positive way before you destroy the two party system!

More truth than humor there.

Are they hoping that if they blame the current debt on President Obama enough that we will forget that THEY put us here?

When will the Republicans ever get real? We need ideas not just objections. We have a strong wind in Michigan, today, kind of reminds me of the Republican party, – An irritation to put up with!! Marlene in Mich

Republican Party is Feudalistic.
Which means Wealth for Few, Rest all Paupers.

The independents will take the White House in 2012. Go Ron Paul…you have my vote.

none of the "mistakes" of the past administration warrant the present administration's takeover of the private sector. I will be a proud member of the party of "NO" as long as they try to move away from Marxist Socialism and/or any other type of gov that infringes on our freedom.

What about the illegal war in Iraq that our money shouldn't have bought? That's what is drowning us in debt. Obama is only spending on things we need, like education, energy and infrastructure. You know: things that will actually do us some good. Republicans are fresh out of ideas, so they can only root for our country to fail. How sad.

Funny but true!

Yes.... this is EXACTLY what the RNC should be doing with its resources... good job! Waste your time and money while offering no real alternative ideas. Spend countless hours attacking EACH OTHER and trying to prove who really IS the Republican Party.

Divided you fall.

stupis is as stupid does

GOP = Got 0 Principles

Ads targeting a gift to his daughters? Sorry but that's lower than low.

Truth hurts, doesn't it Libs?

Is that one of those cards that the Repubs and purchased Dems are gonna let the credit card cronies charge usurious interest rates on? Charge That!! lobbiest lackies.

The Rethugs better redo their Ad...Remember it was Bush and your "so called" party that flushed our economy down your porcelain god!!!!! You are so much a party of Losing, No and Obstructionism...We all know it...Too bad you don';t get it!!!

And on and on and on! Why can't the RNC talk about their positive ideas for this country? Know why they can't..because they can't come up with anything so they spend their time knocking the current administration. It's so familiar..soon Ken Starr will appear! Heaven help us all..
Pam from Knoxville, Tn.

go to hell RNC you guys are done

These comments are funny. You all are upset about the dog part of the commercial and know entire facts about a dog, but ignore the real point of the add about the $787 billion & increasing America's debt. Either you don't know about what's going on in the economy or don't care.

$3,600,000,000,000 - and a 1st year deficit 4x that of last year's. That should have been in the video as well.

Unfortunately the RNC is just copying what the DNC has been doing the last few months. Typical politicians, they are all the same.

Yet again, GOP is out of touch. That Mastercard commerical has not been in so long...LAME AT BEST!

The reason we are in a mess is because of overspending by the Rpublicans and now that the Democrats are in power the spending has only increased at an accelerated rate! If you think our country was in trouble a few months ago, wait until the stimulus wears off or inflation hits and our money becomes worthless. Bad decisions by Republicans don't excuse even worse decisions by Democrats!!!!

@ Mississippi Mike

I was wondering when you would slither from underneath your red dirt rock. You can go back now, because you and your rethuglican friends still do not play nice.

To Greg, San Francisco, CA
The 787 billion was Obama
Bush was the 700 billion
350 billion Bush spent and 350 Bush left for Obama yet Obama need an additional 787 billion
Just correcting the facts

Just another tacky attempt at raising ire. These people STILL think that generating animosity is their key to success. They STILL miss the part about having ideas that matter.

That's i-d-e-a-s t-h-a-t m-a-t-t-e-r

So, the homework assignment for Republican strategists is to come up with some i-d-e-a-s t-h-a-t m-a-t-t-e-r

Take your time....this could be hard for you....

The Republican Party is so fouled up it does not know if it’s coming, going, or if they have even been there. They are the party of the past and have lost all credibility with the American public. Until they get rid of their radical views and those that espouse them they will remain irrelevant. Now they are spending God knows how much $$$ at bashing a progressive President.

The numbers presented in the "ad" are TRUE. And the comments about Bush Administration spending out of control, is TRUE as well. What WE ALL should take away from this is that the new Gov-t is NO better then Bush Gov-t. Lets be realistic and stop with silly name calling of both parties! We need to STOP gov-t spending that is occurring today! And the reality is that spending is OUT OF CONTROL! Mr. President, please close your Gov-t wallet and put it away for a while!

The GOP is actually complaining about the Obama girls DOG? OMG, what is with this group of playground babies?

The GOP is so sunk in bitterness and anger that they have become nothing more an embarrassment to themselves.

repeatedly hitting us with messages and not DOING anything leaves us with the party of no moniker for you

you are the reincarnation of the "do nothings"

Great ad! We need more of these!

Does the GOP have a better plan NO

They should have said:

Destroy another country based on lies and paying them a billion a week to rebuild – Priceless

Typical Republicn bull.

They don"ty have the brains to be original. Poor babies.

Most of the GOP in Washington should take a long walk off of a short pier. Maybe we could get real lucky and hope that Chenny takes Lush hunting.

the article should clarify that the dog was a gift to the daughters, it was not purchased.

Remember the old "this is your brains on drugs commercial?

This is a Republican: (show picture of Cheney, McCain et al)
This is your brain as a Republican: NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
Any questions?

Disingenuous nonsense! Instead of public relations stunts like this, the Republican Party should formulate some useful policy ideas.

And to drag the kid's dog into it!? The dog was a gift. No one bought it, least of all the taxpayers. So childish and unhelpful. Is there anyone running the Republican Party that has a mentality above the fourth grade name calling level?

Nothing stopped Bush and Dark Cheney, did it?

FYI: Bo was GIFTED to the Obama girls by Senator Kennedy.
If I pay $500 for my seat at any sporting event with MY money, it is MY business, just like it was President Obama's business.

The RNC's fear of the successful presidency of Barack Hussein Obama – PRICELESS!

Republicans are just mad because Obama put a stop to their funding of the rich. Now they can't rip the American people off and get away with it.

Joe, this is not about Obama, its about Republican behavior. If they want to win, they simply cannot continue to behave like children and need to start giving viable ideas WITH NUMBERS ATTACHED instead of doing nothing but bashing the new President. They need to grow up.

If they actually had anything to offer, they wouldn't be acting like this.

Even Joe the Plumber left the party when they started behaving this badly.

I'm surprised more powerful Republicans haven't left too.

Didn't Obama pay for his dog and court side seats out of his pocket? Not the taxpayers. If so, this ad is very misleading, if not outright false. Did Elizabeth Dole write this ad?

Bush 43 kept "hiding" the true cost of the wars in Afganistan and Iraq along with pandering to the military-industrial complex. Except for Pres Eisenhower (who spoke against the military-industrial complex) the Republican Administrations since have done nothing to help balance any budgets.

Now the RNC is concerned about the national debt, what were they thinking the last 8 years when they created the current debt? Seriously, get a clue. The economic situation we are currently in was not caused by President Obama or the Democrats – it has been inherited from the Bush administration and the Republican's who held the majority for nearly eight years. Mindless RNC rhetoric – priceless!

The dog was a gift. Oh well, we wouldn't want the American Taliban to use facts when lies are so much better. Right?

That is pretty lame. I wonder if the ad came from the old GOP or the New and "improved" GOP.
They are showing the voters daily that they have no intention of working with OUR President. It will take all of us to dig our way out of the mess the Republicans left for us. It can not be just the Democrates trying to work around a bunch of childish 12 year olds.

This sounds like a skit from Saturday Night Live! Is this an attempt at humor?

The GOP is swift boating again. The nation is tired of the smear campaigns. What will it be next? Stop being part of the problem and become part of the solution.

Republicans are priceless.....lol

But when the rethuglicans and gwb were bankrupting this country on a lie to start a war and then rebuilding Iraq it was okay, huh??? Atleast President Obama is trying to rebuild this country!

"Blaming Bush doesn't pay the bills!" Even though it was HIS administration in which everything went sour. Even though TARP occurred on his watch. Even though the housing bubble burst on his watch. Even though the bad loans, sub par, and Alt-A loans occurred during his administration. It seems to me that if nothing else one can do, one can BLAME BUSH!

More and more "look at this hand" while the other steals your wallet. The Republicans are pathetic and are showing themselves to be whiny little cry babies. They obviously think that if they keep making up stuff and airing it people will be gullible enough to start believeing it...keep dreaming guys, your party is sinking.

"The Madoff Affair" @ PBS. ORG Front Line. This is the news that our main stream media and our government doesn't want you to see. This story is about the Fleecing Of America and how corrupt our Government and Wall Street and the Banking Industry truly are. A Must See to understand how our government has turned on The American Taxpayer's and allowed the top 1% in this country to run a shadow government. Bernie Madoff is just the tip of the Iceberg. A Must See ! ****************************************************************

Brought to you by the Old White Men Party - the NOpublicans.

The president didn't know about the incredibly stupid fly-over in NYC. The dog was a gift. And if you're going to point fingers about a guy going to a basketball game, let's talk about Bush and his vacations. We wouldn't have the astronomical debt we have if it weren't for the past 8 years turning a surplus into a deficit. I wonder if Bush has enough on his credit card to pay it off?

I just don't get it. The Republicans continue the blast the bailout, blast government spending and blame everyone else for the country's ills. The bailout plan was approved, by the GOP while Bush was still in office. A report came out a few years ago which showed that 75% of the accumulated national debt of the history of the country is due to 3 republican presidents, Reagan, Bush Sr, and Bush Jr. But yet, the national debt is not their fault. Oh well, what do you expect from the GOP.

That is quite funny for a change from the old Repubs. I guess they are figuring out that comedy and politics do mix very well!

Well done!

Plagiarizing a famous ad and incorporating falsehoods (the dog was a gift, $787B was Bush/TARP) are emblematic of what the GOP has become – completely irrelevant.

So let me get this straight.. The same GOP that led us into this tax payer bailout is now telling the president how to spend money? I guess Rush really is their leader. Denial is not a party platform guys. RIP GOP.

More LIES........ and misinformation from the Party of NO! Honestly, its a good thing that the GOP has ONLY....... 21% of our Nation claiming to be GOP!

WHAT A JOKE! Keep up the lies Republicans.

Didn't we inherit most of this debt and problem from the former Republican administration?

Do the Republicans think for one moment that we will forget what they have done to our country? President Obama is trying to fix what they broke. Blaming the current administration for the former's mistakes is a bit like the playground bully claiming "he hit me first"

How can the stupid GOP criticize the Obamas' purchase of a dog or courtside seats? What in hell does this have to do with anything?

Why don't these whiny Republicans tell us again about the lies of Bush and Cheney and how they spent TRILLIONS of dollars on an illegal war?

They are complaining about a DAD buying his DAUGHTER'S a family dog?

Seriously? He payed with non-taxpayer money.

Wow..Another RNC low – Telling Dad's all over America not to buy family pets for their children.

These parodies have really played theirselves out....it's no longer catchy to use the mastercard jingle...come on guys can't you come up with any new ideas???????

I do hope that someone in the Republican party actually reads these responses. My overall impression is that the majority of the American public is sick and tired of the always negative interviews and ads from Cheney, Limbaugh, et al. They just keep burying themselves deeper and deeper. Are you totally unable to state anything you are actually for in a positive sense? It seems that the only thing you can still manage is to tear down, denigrate and destroy. I was once a registered Republican, but will not vote that way again until the constant stream of negative attacks stops.

Voice: A new best friend: $2,000 – a Gift

Voice: A court side seat: $500 – Paid for with his money

Voice: Payback to your political cronies: $787,000,000,000 – getting America back on track

Voice: A cool new photo for your website: $328,000 – The guy resigned

Voice: Drowning your country in debt: Priceless – already in debt from the last 8 years

Voice: There are some things your money shouldn't buy but that's not gonna stop him from trying – FALSE

Who cares that he bought a waterdog? Who cares that he went to a Wizards game. Bush went to games also. This is so childish its ridiculous. Again I ask, what is an alternative solution to the financial crisis? What can the Repubs do? Offer up some type of solutions. Say "hey if we do this instead of this, then it will work ". Don't just ridicule without a plan. It makes you all look silly,

I love it. The Party of " NO " – no new ideas, no new solutions, and no new answers finds the time and money to spend on tearing down the past instead of figuring out how they move the country forward. Keep it up. Your party will be run out of politics by the winter at this rate.

RIP GOP.

Folks, we really have to get out act together if we are ever to get this country in the right direction again. We absolutely have to vote ALL republicans out of office. Until we do that, we have to keep putting up with this childish game playing. They are just trying to completely destroy the country and then they will blame it on Obama. Their leader Rush said he wants Obama to fail and they will do anything to try and make that happen. VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE EVERY CHANCE YOU GET TO VOTE.

Is this all they've got? Where are the IDEAS?

This is just as bad as renaming the Democratic Party the Democrat Socialist Party.

The RNC reacts to President Obama like white police officers reacted to blacks in the segregated south of the fifties and sixties. They are ready to bust him for walking the cracks in the pavement.
Their own ideas for aiding common americans or putting the economy back on track are non-existent.
Trickle-down economics and huge tax-cuts is all they can come up with. But I can see the attraction of both measures – if I would be rich...

Love It

This is not a campaign anymore. The election is over. Come up with an idea or just be quiet.

RNC = DNC = politics as usual May 14th, 2009 11:47 am ET

No, you misread the posts. It's not "bush did it too".
It's BUSH GOT US HERE.

Moron.

Hey keep it going – once again RNC trying to put "fear" in people!

RNC:
Trying to find your voice..supporting a gay man (Christ in FL) having Rush Lead PRICELESS

How can anyone argue this statement? It's all true. What has Obama done to get this approval rating?? NOTHING is better, EVERYTHING is worse since he has taken over. Obama will go down as the worst president in the history of America, his picture will be right next to GW Bush as the two morons who destroyed this country.

Wait a minute... The dog cost $2000?

$787,000,000,000 so Murtha can have his airport.

And most of you are bashing the RNC for running an ad.

Where do you think the money is going to come from to pay for all this?

Remember, blaming Bush doesn't pay the bills.

OK RNC, now let's see the big credit card used by the Bush administration to pay for their unnecessary, mismanaged, fiasco in Iraq, you know the war that COMMUNIST China funded for Bush and Co.?

These "priceless" commercials are so over-done and old news, that people hardly pay attention to them. Same ol', same ol' G ot O utdated P arty, stale and past it's shelf life...Got any INNOVATIVE ideas?

GOP losers. What else can you say, just a bunch of pathetic childish losers.

You have GOT to be kidding me!! These 'republiscums' just STILL can't believe that AMERICA MADE THEIR DECISION! Republicans LOST! Get over it!

They REALLY must think we're all as much dim-witted as Palin!!!

Yeah, because Bush didn't just get done wasting our tax dollars on an unnecessary war or anything, did he? Is there anyone with a brain left in the Republican party?

Excellent ad.......the community organizer has no concept of money since he's been on the government dole his whole life.

So, what do these specific Republicans recommend then? No solutions, no ideas, no dialogue. Nothing but complaints but don't want to take any accountability or action. Grow up. If all you can do is complain and cry then shut it, the rest of us don't want to hear it. By the way, this is America. Last time I checked, we're still free to buy dogs and attend sporting events no matter who you are.

if these crazy republicans do not know how to spend their money, they can give it to me. This is so sad it cannot be funny. Where were these critics when this country was getting in this mess with the cumbest president in history? This is embarrassing for our nation.

GOP is a joke!

I find it rather odd that the RNC is talking about Obama's spending plan when they are the ones who watsed billions of dollars on a senseless war in Iraq and on tax cuts for the riches 1% of Americans. Can you say "hypocritical" boys and girls? Huh? Huh? I know you can.

How typical of the RNC.

Perhaps the RNC would like to give each member of the Bush Administration a gold medal and lollipop for the way the country was left for the next generation to cope?

Downing our country in debt has been priceless since the Reagan Administration, which we are all still paying for.

GenTwelve, I absolutely agree, and the smell keeps getting stronger and stronger.

Here in Omaha the republican candidate for mayor Daub runed negative ad on TV calling his Democrats opponent all sort of names and lies.
In the End Jim Suttle the democrat won.
This Republicans never learn a lesson. Keep on insulting the intelligence of the voters and you will continue to shrink as a party and democrats will rule for a long time.

And this is suppose to help bi-partisanship how? When will everyone realize that we are all in this together?

FAIL! The party of NO will remain out of power for a very long time!

@ Jack in Florida

My sentiments exactly.

David NYC STHU. Go buzz the Statue of Liberty.

Everyday the RNC tries a new trick; they sink their party deeper in oblivion. Keep up the good work repungants.

The GOP is still playing their same old games. A normal person would think that they would have learned that that the American people rejected the GOP and their tactics and their lies. But then again, that would be normal people. The GOP continues to play to their 21% and shrinking base. Shall we all pause a moment while the GOP kneels before Rush.

What card did the Republican use to pay for the unjust war, a Visa?? Obama's book sales paid for the dog, why are they picking on the dog??

First thing, Mastercard should sue. Second thing, grow up. Why are they actively campaigning against a sitting President?

The prevaiing argument in comments is now "well, well, Bush did it too..."

I remember a time not long ago when it was "Obama is completely different"

I don't like Obama doing it and I didn't like Bush doing it.

Blaming President Obama for what they and Bush have done and Most of the Country BLAME The Republicans, PRICELESS! What a Bunch of lost no new Ideas we dont Know what to Do the GOP Has become!

Stupid!!! Republicans are so stupid they have no game or solution to anything just stupid S&*%!!!! Like kids grow up! ENOUGH!

More disinformation from the GOP...

Just another shining example of why I went from an 'R' to an 'I'.

Unbelieveable...the RNC has lost their minds! This will hurt them more than help them. I don't understand their logic but I'm glad their doing it! Keep up the good work

To the libs, a $500 billion deficit is bad, (which it is) but a $2 trillion deficit is OK.

What's it like there in Upsidedownworld?

Why all this name calling? Since you can't deny or defend the numbers, you play the standard lib card of just ridiculing people.

You know, I posted that same joke on this ticker (in the comments), about Bush's TARP plan. I hope the GOP marketing wizards are not just stealing ideas here and repackaging them.

I suppose the previous Adminstration had American Express....how is this any different?

Has the RNC forgotten about the Iraq War??

While not original in concept at least the RNC is putting the stimulus numbers out there for the American public.
And why a Portuguese Water Dog ant a SPCA pup?

RNC=Loser

They may want to rethink the whole 'go negative or go home' mentality. We need grown-up solutions for the grown-up problems we're facing as a nation.

and when I meant sew I meant sue...oops

Ha what a joke of an ad, If I were mastercard I'd sew them!!

Did Rush approve this?

Is this all the RNC can do? Throw insults?

Once again, they have nothing to offer but criticism.

I'm thankful every day that we elected a Democrat to save the economy over a Republican.
.

The Republicans refusing to rein in credit card loan sharks....priceless

The Republicans accepting "socialist" healthcare plans while denouncing them....priceless

The Republicans not wanting big business to pay taxes and supporting off shore accounts...priceless

The Republicans submitting a budget with no numbers...priceless

Awww, the poor wefties are getting their panties in a bunch, all because the GOP is returning the snark.

Any wefties want to man up? I didn't think so.

With all the problems in the world, the Republicans are still in denial they had a strong hand in creating them. They now spend untold amounts of time and money pointing fingers at everyone but themselves. Grow up!

More than a bit hypocritical that the GOP didn't publically take Bush, Jr to task for his not vetoing so much as a single solitary spending bill during his entire first 4 years in the White House.

Once again the GOP motto is: Do what we say; don't do what we do.

Pathetic.

The repubs are actually blaming Obama for the billions of dollars BUSH AND PAULSON extorted from congress for the bailout of their cronies? Priceless.

So the stimulus package is money for his cronies? Isn't the money going to infrustructure programmes and other initiatives designed to put people back to work? So, does that mean ordinary Americans are Obama's cronies?

Gee, the only think missing in this cute little diddy is the tag line at the end that says "I am ________ and I approve this message." Now if the repugs can just fill in the blank...oh wait....who should it be, oh I know there were plenty to choose from the talk shows last Sunday, let's see....Cheney, McCain, Gingrich or maybe Rush, Sean or O'Reilly...so many choices. Which one will they choose? Stay tuned!

One word, PATHETIC! The republicans still don't get it, that is how outdated and out of ideas they are and sooo narrow minded. The web ad is about as irrelevant as the republican party in a whole. I mean come on, the man can by his children a dog can't he, taxpayers did not purchase the dog for him, the stimulus was to get the economy moving again which is for the American people and I have never seen a high profile republican sit in the economy seat at any game. Keep blowing hot air, you are good at it!

Old Rules for Republicans:
1. People have short memories.
2. Make sure your lies are big lies.

I love it.

so the GOP likes us to pay high rates to the card companies ..isn't that called loan sharking
***
So stop using your credit card...duh!

What about the past 8 years under GWBush, Rubber Stamp Congress, Dick Torturer Cheney and 2 off the book wars? What about the past 8 years of spending like drunken sailor REPUBLICANS? The party of no responsibility, no ideas, no NOTHING.

Huh?

Love it!!!

I may not be the smartest person in the world, but wouldn't it make more sense to spend money on an ad that promoted what the Republicans are about and can offer, than WASTING MONEY on ads to the contrary? But you know what? Keep it up. It didn't work in '08 and it will not fly now. These folk are like Rumplestiltskin. I swear. Wake up. We're in the 21'st century for pete's sake. Get a clue! The PEOPLE have spoken. It's over. Turn out the lights on your way out. Thanks!

More and more desperate. The GOP is headed for an inevitable loss. This is sheer madness.
I would have thought at this time the focus would be on realigning the party and not chasing after the President whose very intellect, popularity and political adroitness shows the GOP in their present state cannot win any political fights against him.

GOP= Galling Obdurate Pathetic

typical .... not enough brains or imagination to come up with anything original ... copy Master Card, lower taxes on the wealthy, reduce govt spending (which they have increased to a higher percentage than the Democrats in the last 60 years) ... one word ... OBSOLETE

Got to love the GOP...the fact the credit card companies purposely set up card holders to be "late" and then jack up their rates and not want to do anything about it tells Americans just what they think is acceptable behavior in a "free market". This is why I am a member of a credit union...they do not pull this kind of balogna.

Web ads seem like a waste of money. I would imagine that the only people who click on them are the true believers. Preachin' to the choir, folks. Have a nice day!

You are seeing these constant attack ads now as the republican party will never get over the defeat of their Maverick and Pig with lipstick. I never, ever, remember the democrats doing anything like this after they lost an election. The republicans have stooped so low that the belly of a snake is like a skyscraper to them.

How about putting out a commercial with some fresh new ideas of how to get us out of the mess they got us into?

Bueller.....Bueller.....Bueller.....

Great, an under GOP policies Pres. Obama would be given a credit card with no limits, just like the one they gave W and the DICK

The Republican Doctrine as justification for killing hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children in the name of Christianity and Freedom?

Priceless....

I thought it was a really good ad.

I could make a parody out of all the comments left on this comment section since you people are nuts. Why are you folks whining and crying? It's just an ad.

Our country is going further into debt because President Obama is trying to help the American people. The Repbulicans expanded the debt by lying to get us into a war that has killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians.The difference–Priceless!!

Voice: RNC conversation: Mindless

LOL... Keep it up.
What you don't get is WE KNOW YOU ARE A PACK OF LIARS.
Who bought the dog? Not the Obama's, it was a gift.
Court side seat for 500 bucks?!?! How do I get one?
Uh, excuse me, the 780 billion was a BUSH administration idea.
Cool web site photo? The guy who thought that up is GONE.
Drowning the country in debt. Thank you for the Wars and relaxed regulation that got us here..... REPUBLICAN PROBLEM that the Democrats have to fix.

Yep, sure didn't stop The Republicans! LIARS.

Obama's 'stimulus' package is drowning this country in debt. We're now borrowing 50% of every dollar we spend–who pays that back? We do–the working tax payer. Not only that, but here in PA, we found out that the 'stimulus money' for "shovel ready" road work is going to Rendell cronies in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, when there are roads and bridges all over the state that need help. PennDOT did say that 'leftover monies from projects under budget will be reallocated.'

Who's pathetic now?

Epic Fail

How is buying a dog fodder for beating up on the president? So he bought his family a pet! Personally I wish he had adopted a pet because there are many who need homes, but I don't understand why the RNC is using it in this way. Surely they are not suggesting that tax payer money was used for that or for b-ball tickets??

And honestly, didn't Bush start the deficit with all the money spent on war?? this doesn't seem like the most well-thought out ad, in my opinion. Just another attack for the sake of attacking someone in a different party.

That's it.....keep blowing your money on crap like this.....after all, why would you spend your money trying to solve our problems? LMAO

Can't they put an ad up that shows their ideas. Oh yeah, they have none. So let's attack this president so we can make ourselves feel better and look better. Sorry but it hasn't even aired and is already irrelevant. People are looking for something tangible from the republican party. Something that shows that they have ideas. We are looking for the great reincarnation of the party. Remember, Democrats persuade, Repulicans insist. To Democrats the glass is always half full, to republicans the glass is theirs.

Are we forgetting that when Bush came into office, we had a budget SURPLUS? This unnecessary war started to bankrupt the country. I think before anyone points the finger at Obama, they need to look at when the economic problems in this country started.

Hey, its kind of funny. lol

I like the graphic. Keep talking GOP. Extinction....Priceless.

Is this their attempt at funny? Everyone knows funny and Republican just don't mix. Its impossible for these uptight people to be funny or clever for that matter. Look at the attempt by McMoney and Failin Palin on SNL.

Bad just bad.

"Voice: Payback to your political cronies: $787,000,000,000"

Are they serious about that?

How can they say that with a straight face when the Bush/Cheney administration BLATANTLY funneled billions of taxpayer dollars into the already-bloated pockets of their billionaire friends via no-bid contracts during an illegal war based on lies?

What does buying a dog and b-ball tix have to do with anything? I'm sure the RNC is not suggesting Obama uis using taxpayer money for those things. He can afford them I would think at this point, and though I would have loved for him to adopt a pet, it seems like a stretch to use the fact that he bought his family a dog as fodder against him.

I hate too that it is putting bad publicity surrounding a real issue of credit cards taking advantage of people. Surely a change in this area is a good thing!

Do NOT tell me the Repugnicans are going to try to go there after what their boss did to this country!! OMFG! I can't wait to see the response the DNC gives to this poorly thought-out ad!! LOL!!

FTR: Obama paid for his dog out of his own pocket.

Why is it that AFTER the election has been over for months now, do we see ad campaigns like this? This feels like we are back on the mud slinging band-wagon of campaign ads while our President is in office. Democrat and Republican alike, can we just get on with it already? How does this help any of us?

so the GOP likes us to pay high rates to the card companies ..isn't that called loan sharking .. keep up the negative adds . and we can watch the GOP blow away in the wind . JERKS

RNC take note: Not only is that a boring commercial, but it's about ten years late.

Oh, and by the way, the supermarkets have laser scanners now.

This is typical nonsense from the party of NO! No ideas, no policy, no leaders, no imagination, no nothing. What does Republican stand for?

Republicans are turning into the most childish and laughable people around! Basically a bunch of children, telling lies and crying because they pooped there diapers one too m any times and no one will help them!

My only reaction is...LOL

Cronies? Right.

LOL

What a bunch of garbage. Interesting how much the Republican don't care about the regular people and want to keep robbing them blind.

Pathetic!!!
