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.”
James, she was not “misrepresented” by Hillary at all. She participated in that video shoot eight years ago knowing that somebody would use the footage for…something, anything. She signed a release and that’s that. She’s welcome to speak out against it (She’s obviously in a great position to have people listen to her), just don’t go suggesting that there was any wrongdoing on Hillary’s part.
Awe, Casey embraces hope. Good for her.
Is her point that Hilary is somehow unethical for using “stock footage”?
This is even more dumb than the orginal Hilary ad.
Hahaha how ironic. Again Hillary should have done some research before placing that cheap shot ad. Of course she managed to scare some of the idiots out there. Fortunately I was not one of them. Casey you are brave and I hope some day you run for office. I salute you for speaking up for Obama the next president of the U.S. of A. Hillary could learn from you she has disappointed me with her divisive teary eyed flip flop campaign.
So let me get this straight, a little girl grown up with 8 more years of experience in this world and she believes she knows what really takes place. Hmm Naive is a good word for her. I am not pro Clinton or Obama, I belive Ron Paul is the one who really knows what is taking place, however with the Dems resorting to these type of tactics its no wonder public education is floundering on polictics.
Casey is smart enough to know that hillary cannot answer her own 3:00 am call. She could not with Bill. She cannot now with her own poorly managed campaign. she cannot with the States. She cannot with the superdelegates and she cannot with the voters. and yes we are still waiting to see the calls that she has answered. Obviously her schedules have no such indication. who knows her income tax may show her answering the call. So we wait, and wait and…….
Way to go Casey; you surely can.
Reading these comments (and comments to other articles in other news outlets), I despair at the pathetic level of intelligence and analysis, and the lamentable state of education in the United States. Most comments are semi-illiterate, totally idiotic, or both. I suppose I shouldn’t expect more from a country that elected George Bush twice. Hope springs eternal, but really, one does wonder whether the best is behind us and whether we are now witnessing the beginning of end of that once-shining example that has been America. Bin Laden, you pathetic fool, you never had to do a thing: we are not merely capable of, we are busily engaged in our own undoing.
There’s a difference between fear and being prepared, and Obama is not prepared to lead, he cant even make a decision on what is right and wrong in his church, how can he be prepared to lead our nation?
HE’S NOT!!!!!!
But neither is Hillary look at the facts and the record’s of each closely. It’ a bad situation for our nation!!!!
Obama talks about Hillarys judgement about war.Lets talk about Obamas judgement.
1.His judgement about his unamerican paster Wright
2.His judgement about rezko
3.His non votes as senator..voting preset is a non vote.
4.His ties to another racist minister..whos also a senator thats backing him.
5.His backing by the black panthers..and he left that on his web site till all this come out about Wright.
6. his views that his grandmother is just another typical white person.
7.I’m sure there is other bad judgements he has made that makes him unfit to be a president ,he shouldn’t even be allowed to be a senator.
The money she reeived was when the commercial was initially filmed. It is stock footage now owned by a media company that produces advertisements.
Clinton’s Ad people ordered footage of a little girl snug in a bed for the stupid 3 a.m. ad. That same clip was used in bedroom furniture commercials, etc. (i.e. shown in multiple ads).
She doesn’t get a dime from the Billary campaign, and I am sure her parents spent/saved the proceeds from her childhood acting /modeling.
Wow…we are mean. I am beginning to have second thoughts about FOX. Chris Wallace was right! Maybe we should look at ourselves a bit longer. Why are we so viceral in our hatered? Are we lacking somewhere in our lives…and just projecting? Obama said it. Politicians are capitalizing on our emotions. Maybe the media is too. Hmmm maybe Obama is not as daft as we think. Maybe the kid knows something we don’t.
