President Obama’s first reelection campaign video depicts him smiling wildly as he rides a unicorn over a rainbow.
Or at least that’s what a new satirical ad from the National Republican Senatorial Committee, released Friday to coincide with April Fools Day, shows.
The ad sarcastically brags about Obama’s calls for change and legislative accomplishments, but juxtaposes those claims on a backdrop of Tea Party protests and low-points from Obama’s first two years in office, such as the BP oil spill.
“Today, we celebrate a President who brought American’s together,” a narrator intones over footage of a clear blue sky. The scene then abruptly changes to a crowd waving Gadsden flags and chanting “Kill the bill,” a reference to the divisive health care overhaul.
The narrator goes on to praise Obama’s strong, unflagging leadership, as images of Obama golfing, fishing, dancing with Paul McCartney, and filling out a march madness bracket flash on screen.
And yes, the ad really closes with a cartoon Obama riding a unicorn over a rainbow above the text, “Four More Years.”
