They obviously think it's a cute joke. Young ladies talking about their "first time" with someone who cares, someone really cool, someone who brought the troops home from Iraq. Their "first time" with Obama.
The notion that women just becoming old enough to vote in their first presidential election would respond to an ad making a joke about having sex with Obama is pathetic.
It is juvenile humor.
It is demeaning to the women it targets.
It is a dirty joke, and unbecoming a President of the United States.
And if Obama really believes that it's a good ad, then his ability to reason ethically is severely atrophied. Corrupted. He simply does not know right from wrong, and good from bad.
Aquinas says that the whole purpose of government is to lead the people governed to goodness and right actions. Obama is a BAD leader. Period. This is proof.
Still like the guy? Go and vote for him. You vote for someone without an ethical bone in his body.
Look, regardless of the guy's positions on issues and stuff -- and really his record is way more important than his promises -- the very fact of this ad means he is unworthy of the office of president.
Ronald Reagan, in 1980:
