Barack Obama has all these great videos that practically nobody has seen. Many are too long to be turned into ads, but I wish they would at least be displayed more prominently on his website. I put up my favorite ones, plus a video ad concept I made myself out of desperation -- my first youtube vid ever. And, I took a trip down memory lane to the video that turned me into a Barackophile.
This video is particularly powerful. It is one of Obama supporters recreating his 2002 speech against the war. But it's only been seen 69,000 times on YouTube.
If you like it, please contribute to its diggs.

And the sincerity on this woman's face would convince any woman! She's pretty and smart and sort of looks like Julia Roberts. She needs to be used in an Ad.
And his should-be-famous "Opposed to Iraq from the Start" video should have been seen by millions, but it's only been seen by 330,000.
UPDATE: Someone commented that he should also use the video of Bill in 2004 talking about Hope vs. Fear.

Here is my own attempt to make a pro-Obama video. It is my first video ever on YouTube! I know it's cheap but in about two hours I learned how to download YouTube videos, convert them to Quicktime format, splice stuff together on iMovie, and upload them on the web. Quite an educational evening. I was driven by exasperation of people on the Obama blog who suggest video ideas yet when I ask "does anyone want to commit to this?", I hear crickets in cyberspace.
So yeah my vid is cheap but I tried.

And just for warm fuzzies, lest we forget about hope and change... didn't everyone just love the video of Josh Stoman from South Carolina? I know it's 20 minutes long and can't be made into an ad, but I want to remind everyone who good we used to feel before we turned into "Destroy Hillary! Desttrrroyy herrrr!" Maybe Barack, like Hillary did with Hallmark, should buy an hour of primetime TV and air videos like this.
Awww. 4th time I've watched the whole thing. sniff If you don't feel anything, you're a cylon.
