GOP Senate Candidate Releases Spoof Ad: Obama Was ‘Separated at Birth’

A Pennsylvania Republican running to unseat Democratic Sen. Bob Casey has released a video examining Obama’s birth, but not the usual skepticism about where he was born.
In an over 5-minute-long “mockumentary” posted by Republican Steve Welch’s YoutTube channel, actors pretending to be doctors and journalists run a phony “60 Minutes” like investigation into “eerie similarities” between Casey and OBama, alluding in the title that they may have been “Separated at Birth:”
The video is built off of the point frequently referenced by the Welch campaign, that “Casey has voted with Obama 98 percent of the time.” In addition to a near perfect record of support for Obama’s policies, Casey appears in pictures dressed nearly identical to Obama throughout the video.
Do you think the video was funny or weird? Do you think spoof ads are effective or even appropriate during the country’s current political and economic situation?

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 8:09amPresident Obama is racially, religiously and politically conflicted. He exploits his African side for political expedience when, in fact, his white family is his only tie to America. His deference to others to make decisions and “take the blame” is a character flaw and likely stems from his conflicts.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 9:00amLol, it was a great ad, but unfortunately he’s not a great candidate. Being very politically active in PA, I have studied the various GOP Senate candidates, and this Welch guy . . .baaad news. He is a Top-class RHINO. He supported Joe Sestak against Sen. Toomey, and was a Democrat from 2006-09. He says this was because he was fed-up with the Republicans and wanted to prove a point. Ummm, not sure what point that would be . . .perhaps, that the GOP isn’t Democrat enough? Haha, idk, but this guy smells from what I know of him.

I was born in one country, raised in another.
My father was born in another country.
I was not his only child, he fathered several children with numerous women.
I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.
My mother died at an early age from cancer.
…Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me, I later wrote a book idolizing my father not my mother.
Later in life, questions arose over my real name, my birth records were sketchy.
No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn’t follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.
That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and embarked on a new career.
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.
It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
I became active in local politics in my 30′s then, with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s.
They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 6:22amThere was no DNA testing available when Obama was born. His mother obviously “knew” more than one man so there is no “factual” evidence to say “who” his real father was.
And that’s a “fact” Jack.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 6:33amI saw a picture of Obama at about the age of 7 with his maternal grandfather, who looks very much like him now (or is that Obama looks very much like him?). Since he favors his mom’s side of the family so much, you can’t see any father in him. That’s not unusual, I don’t think, as I have one son who looks like my side, and one who looks like my husband’s side. Wouldn’t it be interesting if the real birth certificate showed a different father? Perhaps one who was a US citizen, and supposedly Congress has seen this certificate and that‘s why they keep saying he’s elligible?

They’re virtually identical. There’s also pictures of Barrack Hussein Obama Jr.and the noted Marxist Frank Marshall Davis. They’re virtually identical. Who needs DNA testing??

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 6:43amI read an American Thinker article a few weeks back that detailed Obama’s past and showed pictures. The article went into detail and the authors had done quite a bit of research. There were pictures from back in the 60′s in Hawaii. Obie’s Grandfather was standing with his arm around Barack Sr. Picture was taken at airport and they were both smiling. When I scrolled down my first look was that Obama’s grandfather was Obama (it was night and couldn’t tell color real well). Don‘t don’t how old Grandpa was, maybe 40? Anyway our prez is a spittin image of his Grandpa and doesn’t look anything like his mom or grandmother or his alleged father from Kenya (who was married to someone else at the time anyway).

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 2:01amAs a Pennsylvanian I CAN’T WAIT to pull the lever against Bob Casey, a thoughtless, Obama rubber stamp from the beginning of the campaign! What an embarrassment to the state that elected his father as governor twice. Though I didn’t agree with Casey Sr. on many issues, I deeply admired his willingness to stand alone on issues that he believed strongly on, whether against Republicans or his own party.
No resemblence in the Son at all!!!

Not only informative but funny as well; I would say to all Conservatives runny for an elective office follow this template of an ad. Also the new ad put out by Determine Herman runs in the same vein as this–NO NEGATIVITY just a different way of laying out the opponent’s record. WELL DONE, OL’BOY!
