By now, most of us here have probably seen the latest talk-to-the-camera ads from President Obama and Mitt Romney. Both of these ads have been embedded in stories all over the Internet today, but it wasn't until I was reading this one on the PBS NewsHour site that I saw both embedded YouTube videos on my computer screen at the same time. They're below the squiggle as well.
Be sure to play them if you haven't seen them yet, but take a look before you click play. What a difference between the two preview images!
President Obama looks, well, extremely presidential. Confident, poised. The title of the video tells you exactly what it is before you start to watch.
Mitt Romney looks... a little unhinged, if you ask me. Confused, disgruntled. And the title of his video makes me wonder if he thinks there's an excess of the rest of us.
