Actress From Clinton’s 3 A.M. Ad Strikes Back, This Time on Obama’s Side

Border

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.”

Hey, while I don’t agree with the message the kid is smart enough to try to further her acting career. Can’t blame her for that. My kid is a musician and singer and a Clinton supporter, hmmm….perhaps a video from him would be in order.

For one and a half years Obama has been Senator. For almost one and a half years he has been running for President. So now Granola and mentally confused Americans, what is his real experience? Speech giving. Have him apply at Tony Robbins motivational speaking school. He is now qualified for that job. Not to run my country with a racist pastor at his side. I wonder who would give his oath or invocation?? I bet he comes back onto the scene then! Think smart America. He is hollow. Just like the Easter candy…

Sometimes stock image houses have limitations for use, and don’t allow altering. She should check her old contract and see if it was violated by darkening the footage. Then both she and the owner of the copyright might be able to collect damages from both Clinton and Obama. This could be such a fun way to muck up the airwaves some more!

Why doesn’t fox news run this ad day after day and get off the pastor thing? I for one is tired of hearing it. You don”t go negative on good old Hillary and she the worst thing that could happen to this country. I don”t care what the pastor has to say it did not come from Obama himself and pastor is entitled to his feelings. I’m Catholic but i don”t agree on all the churches policies so get off of it all ready Why don’t you remind the public what a cad Hillary”s husband is and that we stand a good change of her picking him as vice president and that’s all we need some more scandal in the white house.

WHO CARES? Who is she to even make a political statement? She is an actress… she’s paid not to think but act. So Foxnews– stop sensationalizing this garbage… instead why don’t you talk about how CNN and the other news networks insist on their bamboozled barack obama loving reports… his own campaign is linked to the passport scandal.. also how he never answered or addressed why he stayed in Wrights church?

I do not know why the media is reporting this story. It is not an issue that effects the lives of Americans. You put it on your front page and this saddens me. There are too many things that need to get reported that are not being reported. Since you did choose to bring attention to it…It is important if the person who is elected president is READY to answer the phone at 3am or anytime. Anyone knows it is important so the Clinton ad made a valid point. I can see Hillary Clinton answering the phone ready to lead our country for an economic emergency, a foreign policy developement and other important developments. Is Barack ready? NO!

pastor wright, obama’s mentor, spoke defiantly against this country. How could you trust someone who wants this country to be “damned” instead of being “blessed?”

Please! let’s not be fooled by obama’s sweet talks, as this poor girl was. How and where will he lead this country, if he gets elected? Doesn’t that scare you?
