I must admit the ad is rather clever with nice wholesome music in the background. First, heres the web ad, The Obama Card,
There is something weird about this. The fact that at the beginning it says, “political satire” is the first weird thing. Mainly, because in that ad where it mentions political cronies is the actual argument that the GOP is using in regards to Obamas spending. So, was the GOP performing satire this whole time? Also, if the 787 billion went to political cronies, then why is the GOP accepting that money and why did some of them add earmarks in that bill. And technically, if drowning the country in debt is priceless, then the rest of the stuff in the video doesn’t contribute to the “drowning” of America. Am I missing something? Debt means something to be owed. If America is drowned in priceless debt, then it isn’t debt and we shouldn’t have a monetary system at all if thats the case. Based on this ad it seems as though they mainly wanted to mention the 787 billion dollars, but they threw in that other stuff to kind of fill up time in the video. Essentially because, would the country not be in debt if Obama didn’t get a dog or didn’t go to a basketball game. It’s just silly to think without a dog that the country wouldn’t be in debt. Not only that, but if Obama didn’t have a dog, the GOP would start the second coming of a culture war. But, maybe I’m reading too much into it 
You’re not reading too much into this.
