Former ‘Sex and the City’ Star Sarah Jessica Parker Boosts Obama in Hokey Ad Targeted at Young Voters
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker, famous for her role as a helpless know-it-all writer, has decided to throw her support behind President Obama in a new ad aimed at attracting donors to his reelection campaign.
In the ad, which debuted during MTV’s annual Movie Awards, Parker clearly patronizes to her intended audience by referring to Obama as “that guy” as she invites them to eat dinner with herself, the president and First Lady Michelle Obama.
As might be expected, however, Parker’s message isn’t a carte blanche invitation to dine with her but rather a pitch for a contest that Obama fans can enter by donating a minimum of $3 to the campaign.
"The guy who ended the war in Iraq, the guy who says you should be able to marry anyone you want and the guy who created 4 million new jobs -- that guy -- President Obama and Michelle are coming to my house for dinner on June 14,” Parker excitedly informs the audience before launching into the sales pitch.
“I want you to be there, too,” she says before inviting viewers to visit a campaign website where they can enter the dinner lottery.
The spot, which is Obama's first national television ad, ran three times during the award show and is in keeping with an ongoing campaign strategy to use celebrities such as George Clooney as a way to entice small-dollar donors into giving away their cash to the Obama campaign.
An event hosted by Clooney last month is reported to have raised around $15 million, with about half of the donations coming in smaller amounts.
The president’s reelection team has raffled away dinners before with just Obama or his wife as well. The Hollywood angle appears to be a new one and likely is more lucrative since the president has been less able to use a “coolness” campaign with three years of a bad economy under his leadership.
Full text of the Parker ad is below:
The guy who ended the war in Iraq, the guy who says you should be able to marry anyone you want and the guy who created 4 million new jobs -- that guy -- President Obama and Michelle are coming to my house for dinner on June 14.
And I want you to be there, too. But you have to go to JoinObama.com for your chance to win and the contest ends tomorrow night. So go right here (motions to web address on screen), right now because we need him and he needs us

Submitted by drsamherman on Mon, 06/04/2012 - 8:58pm.
The Good Lord knows we have zero idea on all of the elements that people consider in their attraction, but she has to be one of the most repulsive humans on earth. Not only is she physically unappealing, but her politics and her superficiality must appeal to a segment of the population that would find fun in dental pain.
I wonder if anyone ever sent her a feedbag and a few sacks of oats. Perhaps when she does a good acting job, the director gives her a cut-up apple, carrot or a cup of honey in her feed.
Just out of curiousity, I asked my daughter her opinion of SJP. As I had surmised, voters younger than 35 have zero connection with her because her last major TV exposure was Sex and the City, and the current 18-25 demographic doesn't know the show that well.

SJP seems to have a sweet personality and her voice is pleasant enough when interviewed. Still, she doesn't compute to me on the level some seem to think. I know photographers have used vaseline or nylons on the camera lens to soften the image? Did vaseline prices jump since the Media started photographing Moochelle? Is the lens they use with Moochelle stamped "Objects Closer Than They Appear"?
I learned a long time ago not to judge what trips someone's trigger. Fat with skinny or ugly with beautiful, I couldn't figure it out so I don't dwell on it. That's not to say I have no suspicions of ulterior reasons when there's a significant wealth or age difference.
Concerning SJP and her husband Ferris Bueller - they seem well matched. He stays out of her way and she lets him wear her outfits. Mozel tov!
Speaking of horse feed, when I took riding lessons, sometimes I would mix it up with the treats for my horse and share a cookie made only of 100% pure maple sugar when in season. The horses loved that sugar. (Bite me Mayor Bloomturd)

She covers her head with a green bag while the animators produce a fake head over her outfit, a lot like the "Harry Potter" movies.
At some point, all of the cosmetic procedures begin to melt together and she ends up looking like Jocelyn Wildenstein.

I can't believe it. Someone from Holly-weird is supporting Obama? Throwing a fundraising dinner at their home for his reelection campaign? Going on the air to use their star power to sway the feeble-minded who actually think people like her know something we don't? This is simply shocking, I've never seen anything like this before. I guess the election is over already, here in June, now that SJP has thrown her endorsement behind Barack.

Seriously? An actress in her late-40s from a TV show that ended eight years ago? A woman whose character and her friends acted like a bunch of gay men? A character who couldn't figure out that she was the reason why she couldn't have a lasting relationship?

ANNA WINTOUR also did an Obama video and is the other star of a new “Dine with Obama” vid that’s unintentionally hilarious and the rightful subject of a Republican mock-a-thon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Huts_Ltt2CU
The Republican video highlights Wintour, the English-born snob editor of Vogue magazine who, in the video, is pitching the Dine-with-Jesus chance of a lifetime. Wintour oozes snooty-bitch. If you didn’t know it was a real pitch video, you’d swear this was a Saturday Night Live spoof. Wintour speaks to the camera, eliciting the faithful, unwashed masses to logon for a chance to win a seat at the celebrity dinner. She tells the doe-eyed believers that they can dine with Obama in one of the “two best” seats, and meet “Meeeshele” Obama and “Saaarah Jessica Paarka”, at Paarka’s home. Wintour likely has more Prada than Rosie O’Donnell has rolls of fat. She simply reeks of snobbery and elitism and why not? The Devil wears Prada was based on her snooty life. Even her name fits the bitch – Wintooooor – not Winter… Wintoooooooor.
Wintour’s walk-in closet is likely bigger than most New York apartments. The only “99%ers” she knows are the hired help, like the doorman to her Manhattan penthouse… not that she sees the doorman as a human. Her interaction with commoners is when her limo is stopped at an intersection and she unintentionally sees their faces – so Wintoooor, being a spokes-hole for The New Messiah is, in a word, hilarious. That the New Messiah has a nonvoting foreigner pitching his win-a-chance-to-touch-his-robe video is profoundly, uproariously funny. I could only hope that the video could run and feature Wintoooor, the bundling-B, now and until November.

Parker is just as screwed up in the head as the rests of her loud mouthed Hollywood cohorts who openly support the idiot Obama: Hanks, Jackson, Freeman, Clooney, Damon, Penn, Aniston, Roberts, Jolie, Pitts, etc. I have so little respect for these people, I cannot give them the courtesy of calling them by their first names, especially an idiot like Freeman who claimed he would vote for Obama 1,000 times if he could. Freeman is obviously not a believer in the 1 person, 1 vote rule. When I hear these people blather on about the great Mess I ah, my only alternative is to boycott their movies, which I will continue to do and I hope others will also boycott these Obama water carriers.

First, President Obama tells us “And I made it clear that by August 31st, 2010, America’s combat mission in Iraq would end,” Obama said. “And that is exactly what we are doing – as promised and on schedule.” (1)
Now, Sarah Jessica Parker tells us "...the guy who ended the war in Iraq" (2)
It was President Bush that gave us the surge that won the Iraq War. And it was President Bush that signed the Status of Forces Agreement that gave us the the timetables that President Obama simply honored and voted present rather than make any changes whatsoever.
"the timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops in Iraq was decided during the Bush administration with the signing of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) by U.S. and Iraq officials on Nov. 16, 2008. The Iraqi parliament signed SOFA on Nov. 27, 2008.
The agreement, which had been in negotiations since 2007, set a timetable calling for most U.S. troops to leave Iraqi towns and cities by June 30, 2009, with about 50,000 troops left in place until the final withdrawal of all U.S. military forces by Dec. 31, 2011"(1)

The video was uploaded by BarackObamadotcom, and comments are moderated. So it is no surprise that my following comment was never approved:
"When Bush took office, 138 million were employed. When Barack took over, 144 million were employed, a gain of 6 million. Now, the number is 141 million (a loss of 3 million). Over half a million women have lost jobs since Obama took office. Rather than focus on this, the Obama campaign is targeting the apparent lack of job growth in Massachusetts under Romney. What you're not told is that the unemployment rate in MA was 5.6% when Romney took office, and 4.7% when he left. Clue in."

'The guy who ended the war in Iraq?' You mean George W Bush. Because it was President Bush who listened to his commanders, implemented the surge, gained victory in Iraq, and finalized the SOFA (Status Of Forces Agreement) with Iraqi leaders, Hussein Obama had nothing to do with it.
As a matter of fact it was Hussein Obama that twice voted to take away body armour, ammunition, weaponry, food, and other necessary supplies away from our troops on the front line and in harms way when he voted to defund our troops. I always considered Hussein a traitor for his vote as I did all of the other leftist Demorats who continually stabbed our troops in the back.

Celebrity Activists
Submitted by billyjack on Tue, 06/05/2012 - 1:13pm.
A vast majority of the celebrities have little if any education and if having earned a degree it is seldom other than arts studies for their craft. As a result it is doubtful whether any of them have much of a background in history and certainly less in critical thinking. These parts of a normal education are not required in their chosen field. The lack of education makes it easy for others to influence their opinions. As a result it is easy to dupe them into positions that they are not intellectually capable of understanding or defending.
