The ad was created by the ad agency, Goodby Silverstein & Partners, according to The Daily Caller:
A new video from the founders of a celebrated advertising agency features children “of the future” singing about the aftermath of a Mitt Romney presidency: A world where sick people are required to “just die,” the atmosphere is “frying,” gays can be “fixed” and “oil fills the sea.”
The children, who stare blankly at the camera throughout the video, even take pains to explicitly mention that they blame “mom and dad” for all those horrors.
How desperate and sick is it to use these children and teach them such utter, contemptible trash! Thanks Pie, this is ugly but oh so typical of the party that refuses to compete in the “arena of ideas”.
Wow, that was beyond tacky. I don’t believe in using children to spread propoganda, even if I agree with some of the messages. They don’t have the experience or maturity to have a fully formed opinion or know what they are talking about, so it just comes across as manipulative.
However, Tina, didn’t you post a video a few weeks ago featuring young teenagers in support of Mitt Romney, some of which made misleading claims about the current president? Aside from the fact that the teens were a little bit older, how is that much different from this?
I am not to sure if it was a good idea to use kids to sing an anti-Romney skit, but at least the message was correct. By this time most people are beginning to realize that to vote for Romney is to basically destroy the gains that Obama has made. Certainly Obama has not performed to the complete satisfaction of the people who voted for him, but the obstacles which he encountered as President were enormous due to the Republican desire to bring the whole country to a halt. I and most other thinking Americans will vote a second term for Obama.
Chris: “Tina, didn’t you post a video a few weeks ago featuring young teenagers in support of Mitt Romney…”
We did. There is a difference beyond the fact that the video we posted featured older kids. This ad was created by a professional ad agency and two liberal men who support Obama. The video we posted earlier this month was made by an organization of kids who are apparently interested in preserving the Constitution. They seem to be informed and engaged and capable of creating the video themselves. I like to see students participate in the process. One day soon they will be old enough to vote.

“By this time most people are beginning to realize that to vote for Romney is to basically destroy the gains that Obama has made.”
Indeed. The increasing momentum of Romneys gains is certainly confirmation of that. Heh.
“Gains” Obama has made since the recovery was announced in 2009: sustained high unemployment, businesses stumbling or closing, stagnant incomes, more people in poverty and on food stamps, an unpopular expensive new entitlement program, healthcare regulations that are too complex and expensive, higher taxes and fees with more pending, higher gas/energy prices, higher food prices, debt that is growing at $4.5 billion a day, a sluggish growth rate, new banking regulations that are killing small banks and do very little to stop the problems that caused the housing bubble…

http://blog.heritage.org/2011/07/28/the-truth-about-obamas-budget-deficits-in-pictures/The chart above illustrates what the countrys fiscal future looks like. As analyzed by the Congressional Budget Office, even after the massive tax hikes included in Obamas budget, federal deficits total $9.5 trillion. In other words, under his budget, the President would more than double the national debt in just 10 years. Simply put, Obamas budget (which didnt even win the support of his own party in the United States Senate) would push America over a fiscal cliff.
The Presidents media apologists are attempting to carry water for Obama and shift the blame for the budget mess squarely at the feet of President George W. Bush. Specifically, they argue that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, and the recession are all to blame for todays deficits. Its an argument we heard before from Obama since the days of his campaign, and its an argument that is as flawed today as it was then. One simple number explains it well: the budget deficit figure in 2007, the last Bush year prior to the recession. The tax cuts were in full effect, both wars were raging, and the recession had not yet struck, yet the budget deficit in 2007 was $160 billion, or about a tenth of Obamas deficit this year.
Then theres the Presidents stimulus spending binge, which made matters worse. The policy was rooted in the false premiserecited by The New York Timesthat government spending can propel the economy out of a recession. Well, it hasnt. The economy is stuck in slow, and the hundreds of billions of stimulus dollars have only added to todays debt and deficits.
Americans are hurting in this non-recovery and cannot stand another four years of leadership that creates such “gains”.
This is soooooooooo Democratic party —

Do you think those kids know how lucky they are that their parents didn’t murder them?
Good question. I often wonder how many children think about that, Toby…they’re not fools.
Here’s a 13 year old’s video about the election.
Awesome Ideas Packed Video by Thirteen Year Old
10/30/12
Jenny Cantrell is a thirteen year old student playing the role as teacher for a day. And in her lecture, she grades the candidates. This her first video with a tad under 200,000 views:
Jenny is a 13-year-old 8th grader who’s been interested in politics for a couple of years. She was confused about the claims of the Democrats and the claims of the Republicans. So, she decided to look at the facts and do a report card for President Barack Obama and one for Governor Mitt Romney. She compared them and now presents her findings in this video.

And her second video:
Jenny got a lot of questions when she was Teacher for a Day. Now she looks at the auto industry bailout, the debates and the candidates’ values. Make your voice heard; vote on November 6th!

Imagine an America
Where we are always free.
Where gays are normal
And sick people wait months
And soldiers fill the streets
We dont have to pay for cellphones!
Our schools are filled with lies.
Give us deceit and lies
From brainwashed guys
And lots of free stuff.
Were the children of Obama
Communist through and through
You decided to change our country
And Comrade, were thanking you
We havent killed all the Right Wing
But hey, we still are trying
Freedom is sacked
The US is cracked
And the atmosphere is fine.
Congress went home early
We forced them out we know
You cant cut spending
With elections pending
So why even let them vote?
Were the children of Obama
Communist through and through
You decided to change our country
And Comrade, were thanking you
Find a park that is not monitored
And take a breath while cameras watch
They bugged your place
To watch you from space
But you can write off your free will
Its a really great pleasure to tell you
But you brought us to this land
When we look look out back
Vorwarts! We chant
And under The Leader we stand!
Were the children of Obama
Communist through and through
But you decided to change our country
And Comrade, were thanking you
You did your best
You passed the test
Mom and Dad
Welcome to the New America! Thanks for your vote.
I never thought they could actually use children for this kind of Ad.
