That Pro Clinton Red Phone Ad: Could thing get more angsty?
It’s been scarily effective. It help turn the tide in Texas and Ohio votes. The ad is in the video below.
Many people haver been taking offense to this ad. People believe that it is an ad meant to play on people’s fears and nothing more. It has been labeled everything to racist to just plain catty. All you have to do to understand just how much people dislike this ad is go to youtube and type in the words Hillary, phone, and satire. You’ll see dozen of angry videos.
Worst yet, it turns out that one of the the children in the Ad is now a steadfast Obama supporter. This is weird indeed. An interview of this girl on ABC is available below.
The reason this ad is so talked about is because it was so effective. Obama has been attacking the ad since it aired. A video of his rebuttal is below.
He even made a similar counter commercial to combat the scary message but it was too little too late for the Texas primary. (shown below).
As if this race couldn’t get any more angsty. Hillary Clinton has found ways to aggravate the situation once again.
Water Boarding is now “O.K.”
It appears that water boarding is still not considered torture in the United States Government. The CIA can still use water boarding to extract information from terrorist suspects.
Bush vetoed a bill that would ban the practice, and it died after its re-vote. Though majority of Congress believes that water boarding is indeed torture, or at least against international law the bill died any way. The House of Representatives voted 225 -188 in favor of the bill.The anti-water boarding camp would have needed 51 more members to override the president’s veto.
Republican House Representative Pete Hoekstra was one of the main opponent of the bill. He labeled the bill as “ill-advised.” He said that Congress’s priority lies with keeping the United States safe, not appeasing terrorist suspects.
The non-passing of the bill does not mean that the CIA can water board any terrorist subject. The president and attorney general must approve the use of water boarding on a case by case basis.
