Rick Perry has signed the guy responsible for Tim Pawlenty’s action movie trailer-style campaign videos.
The result? A T-Paw style swelling soundtrack and movie feel, with a Rick Perry style barely-veiled assault on President Obama’s respect for the nation he leads. Also there’s a huge, blaring reminder that Perry is “An American.”
Here’s the video, which shifts over to Perry after all the post-apocalyptic Obama stuff:
Catch it? At about 1:08 — right when Perry starts to say, “we don’t need a president who apologizes for America. I believe in America,” comes the reminder that Rick Perry is “An American.” (Next card says “who served for freedom,” which appears to be a reference to Perry’s Air Force service.)
Anyway, just in case you were wondering who and who isn’t an American among those running for president, Perry’s new video has got you covered.
