‘U.S.S. Obamaboat’: Congressional Candidate’s Bizarre Ad Paints Obama as Captain of Slave Ship

Jan. 27, 2012 6:06pm Tiffany Gabbay

Republican Congressional candidate Mark Oxner’s new ad will certainly have people talking. Set aboard a “ship of fools,” the ad almost seems as if it could have been directed by the macabre Tim Burton, offering an eccentric mix of just about everything — from a Cialis reference to a cameo by the famed “Anonymous” masked-figure, from a jab at Obamacare to a dig at the “99 percent.”

On this Alice in Wonderland-esque vessel, rafts full of enslaved children row-away as Captain Barack Obama of the “U.S.S. Obamaboat” recklessly steers the ship toward the edge of a waterfall, and, certain doom.

It comes as no surprise then, when Oxner closes the ad by asking voters to “turn this ship around” before it is too late.

Conservatives will likely cheer Oxner for his astute observations the creative way in which his ad paints the current president and his liberal policies as a subjugator of those who embrace the Constitution and freedom. Liberals, on the other hand, may mock the ad’s unconventionality and thus dismiss it as ridiculous. Either way, the spot delivers on what was likely its desired effect: To make people take notice!

This is a fun one to watch. It should strike a nerve with the voters. It is about time to harp on the spenders and what they are doing to our children.

Excellent ad! Obummer is the captain of the USS Ship of Debt enslaving our children to debt that likely won’t be paid off. The deckhands are taking the loot for all sorts of projects. Spectacular!

  Pointing out the truth makes you a racist. The new definition of a racist no longer is someone who discriminates based on race. Now it’s defined as “anyone who isn’t a socialist or communist-is a racist.” Pretty loose definition. If you don’t want the government taking 80% of your income in taxes, that now makes you a racist. Moreover, if you’re declared a “racist” by the government, they have the right to ship you off into a FEMA camp never to be heard from again. Just wait, the time is almost here.

  One thing that is just as loony as the Progressive Socialist Left is the Alex Jones Koolaid drinking conspiracy theorists. You know……the ones that always posts the links to Alex Jones fairy tales movies. The truthers, birthers, 911 Inside job, Bilderbergers, Rothchilds, Neocon, warmongers, Elvis living in Costa Rica with Michael Jackson and Anna Nicole Smith, Alex Jones Cult Members. Drive me crazy. They’re the reason Ron Paul isn’t taken serious. They’d have the Wrestling Actor Jesse Ventura and The Winning Charlie Sheen as Ron Pauls Cabinet members. NO CRED!

  Actually they are making slaves out of our children so they can steal. Obama and Co. are filling their pockets to overflowing at our children’s expense.

I encourage every patriotic american to check out this link about the audit of the Federal Reserve from this summer. This will piss every one of you off. Every Republican candidate must be asked the question what are they going to do about this if they are elected.

It’s a shame that there is a debate about this. Even art with a bit of humor intended is better than just being miserable from the reality that the images aren’t too far from the truth.

Funny? Is enslaving our children with massive debt funny? Is it funny to take their futures and drive down opportunities under the weight of massive spending we benefited from and that must pay back? How can we look our children and grandchildren in the eye and tell them they a higher standard of living the we enjoy today? We are destroying their lives by big government massive spending. We have enslaved future generations to massive debt so we could party on like it will never end. They will pay the price for our selfishness.

  How true you are. Check out this report from the audit the Federal Reserve got in the summer of 2011. How come this was never reported on. This should enrage every American to call for an end to the Federal Reserve and the politicians that are protecting them punished for treason.

Just looks like an astute observation of the current political climate. When the current taxpayers vote for egregious spending and give themselves benefits into perpetuity for which the next generation will have to pay, that is slavery. I’ve been saying it for a while now. Just glad to see that others see it as well.

It will catch people’s eye. The candidates need to use the Alinsky tactic and make the opposition play by their own rules and use ridicule. The ridicule will be even more effective against one with such a thin skin as Obama.

Since the first slave owner in the US was a black man, and the Africans themselves started the slave trade, I think it fits.

  You are spot on here. The first slave owner in America was black and the Africans started the slave trade. That’s in all history books, but I’ll bet 98 percent of people in America today do not know that. Thank you for pointing that out.

  It won’t be in the history books for long–if it hasn’t already been edited out. Obama’s crowd are busy rewriting those. Don’t you remember how Moo-Chelle Antoinette said “our history would have to change?” Well, the history, is it a-changing’, with kids being taught that the founding fathers of this country were no more than evil old white men who got rich by exploiting black people.

Not Bad. They need about 400 more to counter this criminal cabal. Who knows how much of the Porkulus somehow will find it’s way into the Obama coffers this election season. No telling.

This is a ridiculous commercial. It’s Oblamer, you don’t have to create a disney movie to run against his record. Remember the Recovery Summer? It was two summers ago now and the USA is like a big fat Greek heart attack waiting to happen.

Excellent.
Now an ad which shows the mechanics of the money flow.
Who makes the money, how that money gets used etc.
The Capitalist version
Obama’s version. Show via an ad a money pile that Obama takes from and show it dwindling.
