"Obamacan"
30-second ad run on national cable and in OH, WI and CO from May 12, 2008.



 

[Music] John Weiler (voiceover and to camera): I'm a veteran.  I served under President Ronald Reagan and under the first President Bush. 

I've been a Republican since before I could actually vote.

We need somebody in the White House that is strong.  We need somebody that's going to represent the left and the right, the Democrat and the Republican, everybody.

I'm a lifelong Republican and I'm voting for Barack Obama.
