Actress From Clinton’s 3 A.M. Ad Strikes Back, This Time on Obama’s Side
A Washington state teen who weeks ago objected to a controversial Hillary Clinton ad that used stock footage of her from when she was a child has come back with an ad of her own. And this time she’s on Barack Obama’s side.
Casey Knowles, who was one of the sleeping children shown in the Clinton ad that asked voters who they wanted answering the phone at 3 a.m. in a crisis, apparently is an ardent Obama backer.
Now her new YouTube ad, posted on Obama’s Web site, urges voters to “reject the politics of fear that Sen. Clinton uses to drum up votes” and support the Illinois senator. Clinton’s ad, which aired ahead of the Texas primary, was used to raise doubts about Obama’s experience and judgment and was widely credited with boosting her performance in the contest.
In the new ad, Knowles says she was supporting Obama before Clinton’s commercial aired and that she objected to the way it was produced.
Clinton “wanted to scare you into voting for her,” she said — by tinting the stock footage of her sleeping from eight years ago and adding a “scratchy voice.”
At the end of the ad, she says, “I’m Casey Knowles and I approve this message, and not the other one.”
Ya real courage take the job and money from Clinton then go to Obama’s side. Thats the way of the American people. Believe me her commits mean nothing to most people.
Freedom of choice, well done girl never mind the hypocrites.
She’s supporting Obama???? I guess she’s NOT a typical white person.
Good Morning. It is typical of you to show a positive article about Obama, especially after the “very diversly opinionated” morning show yesterday. You probably mad because its all over YouTube, the Huffington Post, & Media Matters. I won’t be surprised if I don’t see this post displayed on your precious webite.
We know this has very little impact on news, however, God bless that child for coming out and making things clear that she’s an Obama supporter. I know you want to slighly slow down on your Obama bashing before it becomes too obvious. Too late, the damage has been done but i will backfire when Obama becomes President. What’s worse for you, even some of your own people are tired of the racial divisions and want change. Right now my favorite Right-Wingers are Kilmeade(FOX), Wallace(FOX), & Huckabee(Conservative).
I don’t really care about the article, I just want people to read this and understand that Fox will be exposed. Happy Easter.
OK, I think I’ll take the advice of a 17 year old who I’m sure is well suited to advice the rest of us on political matters. I’m sure she’s a sweet kid, but she needs to go back to cheerleading practice, homework, boys, etc, and let informed and mature voters pick the next president.
It is nice to know a 13 year old supports Obama….apparently she has done as much research as the rest of his supporters. Did she get paid for this stock footage? If so then Clinton has every right to access it. Just like all other “stock” footage. Why is this news? On the plus-side; Obama at least got another endorsement from a group or person that is not horribly racist. That makes two this week!
casey,
did you know that obama’s pastor hates you? obama knows.
Clinton’s ‘experience’ that she keeps trying to sell herself with is, among other things, based on the use of fear to get people to accept her and her point of view and way of doing things - the ‘good old way’ so to speak. The ‘good old way’ that has proven itself by getting us - the USA and the whole world - into all the troubles we’re in. Albert Einstein once clearly pointed out “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” Clinton represents, as does McCain, “the same kind of thinking we used when we created” the problems we are currently suffering with.
Barack Obama offers the possibility for us to shift a new kind of thinking and to some new ways of doing things - ways that are inclusive and embracing of the diversity of the people and their needs and interests that have come together to create our country. We can rise above our distinctions and differences in order to try to work together to discover and create solutions to our common problems as well as ways to fulfill our common needs.
Thank you, Casey Knowles, for being inspired and willing to step forward to offer your help in this process of healing and sustainable growth that our country and the world so desperately needs. It is your generation that is inheriting the mess we older folks have created. I few of us older folks are here trying to help set the stage for you to find the solutions for your future.
Barak is no bobby Kennedy. and this story is news why??
Casey Knowles was a precinct chairman during the democrat primary in her state, and is headed, as a delegate, to her county convention. One of many younger voters brought into the process ignited by Barack Obama and his theme of unity.
The Saul Alinsky tactics, alive and well on Fox News is something I thought I would never see. Politics of personal destruction, agitation, division, 24 hour looping of associations. I’m impressed. Just don’t ever again try to feed seed to the sheeple that the “other side” (liberals) are alone in creating trash talk. The Audacity of Opinion Makers on Fox have become absolutely poisenous against Obama, and it comes from utter ignorance of context and utter fear, garbage that is being passed along by pundits lost in tunnel vision. I’m having to give up Fox for the sake of saving my tv screen and keeping my blood pressure under the roof of my head.
