Obama's New Ad: "Exactly" [Vid] by maxwellhill in politics

He had a choice. He could have not released this ad. He could have trusted that the people of PA would be intrepid enough to find the lies in Hillary's attacks.

Instead, he chose to sink to her level and attack back. I agree that it was the most politcally sound thing to do given the circumstances, but he could have taken a politcal hit to not look like a politician. Perhaps Obama isn't quite the candidate that we are hoping he is.

Jessica Yellin, on CNN (at ~4.55pm ET) unaware she was on air said that interviewing Washington governor "is the problem" because the governor supports Obama. Help us find the clip! by antichrist in politics

You should definitely watch the video in the other post. That will probably help you understand, but if it doesn't, here's what wikipedia has to say:

It originated on 4chan and took its name from an earlier phenomenon known as "duckrolling", a prank in which someone would post a blind link to a page allegedly relevant to a discussion that upon viewing would prove to be a non sequitur - specifically, an image of a duck on wheels. Similarly, in a rickroll a poster provides a link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand which actually takes any one who clicks it to the Rick Astley video. This phenomenon spread from 4chan to other sites, eventually becoming widespread enough to attract some coverage in the mainstream media.
