Campaign Ads
2012
1.) The ad is targeting Americans.
2.) Positive.
3.) It could give some more information, but for the short ad that is was it gave us and opportunity to think about the message being delivered.
4.) This ad was fairly recent, so I feel that it would be portrayed pretty similar with a few updates.
5.) No, because I don't feel like the ad gave enough insight or his positive opinion to get affect my vote.

2008
1.) McCain is targeting Obama on education.
2.) Negative.
3.) It does deliver its message.
4.) It would still portray the same idea today.
5.) I wouldn't have voted for McCain just because I feel he is a better candidate.

1996
1.) All Americans.
2.) Positive.
3.) Yes, because it tells how we as a nation can make our home better.
4.) I don't think this ad would have been any different in 2014.
5.) This ad would have made me vote for Clinton.

I don't think it is a violation of freedom of speech because this is no different from the other rules we have to follow. For example, they stress for us to be ourselves but we can't wear certain designs/styles of clothing.

I do think they should do whatever they need to prevent violence, but they need to be careful because it could cause more violence.

No, but I do feel like this is causing more damage. They should have just left it alone.

I think they should because playing sports is a privilege and some people wouldn't be able to afford college without sports.
