Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA), who is challenging the party-switching Sen. Arlen Specter in the Democratic primary, is taking a bold step to cast himself as anti-establishment politician — putting up a new Web video directly attacking President Obama, for supporting the incumbent Republican-turned-Democrat Specter.
The video is set to a repeating acoustic guitar riff, which sounds similar in feel to the “Yes We Can” music video produced during the 2008 campaign by Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas. (Though it doesn’t sound exactly the same.) A black and white montage of Obama supporters — again, similar to the “Yes We Can” video — express their profound disappointment at Obama’s support of Specter.
“I believed in you,” says one supporter, followed by another: “Mr. President, I don’t understand why you support Arlen Specter.”
