The link below is to a new Obama ad about the economy. The ad is 2 minutes long and discusses his economic plan in more depth than the traditional 30 second ad. What do you think of this? Will it work? Will people sit and listen to a 2 minute ad? Is this the attention to issues some of you have been calling for or is he really saying anything different in these 2 minutes than is usually said in an ad?

I think there are a lot of good things in this commercial.
First, I didn't feel like it was two minutes. The time thing wasn't an issue. However, if I saw it on television numerous times, it might get old.
He spoke very clearly of his intentions and used a very conversational style - both appealing to the masses. The only thing that crossed my mind was something my mother has ingrained in my head...
"Lacey, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
Obama makes it sound like there are no negatives to this plan, and if that is true....FANTASTIC. But there's that little voice in my head that is cynical. By not mentioning that there might be some hard times still to come, or that some business owners might see a tax increase or a caveat of some kind, I wonder what he is hiding.
But, overall, I applaud him for speaking clearly about an issue that is critical to each and every one of us and attempting to reach different categories of people.
