The film that Tom Hanks and Davis Guggenheim made for Barack Obama’s reelection campaign earlier this year was played at the DNC tonight. Actually it was an edited version of The Road We’ve Traveled that the delegates in Charlotte saw. Trimmed down from its original 17-minutes to 7-minutes, the wide ranging video that the Oscar winner narrated and the documentarian directed tonight had some new footage weaved in and became a focused testimony to Obama’s commitment to America’s armed forces and veterans. The Sacred Trust video was put together by NYC political consultants Siegel Strategies and Mooney Marketing. After the shorten and revised video was played, retired Admiral and campaign co-chair John Nathan took the podium, with almost two dozen veterans behind him, to praise the administration’s efforts for America’s returning and wounded soldiers.

When Obama loses, the Hollywood crowd will quickly dispose of him like a soiled diaper and move onto the next democratic “hopeful”. Hollywood doesn’t like failures and there will be very few eulogies for Obama coming out of Tinseltown. I hope Mr and Mrs Obama are enjoying swanning around with celebs, because come December not one of those A listers are going to return their calls.
Wow. This imaginary world you teabaggers live in where Obama loses to a failure of a candidate like Mitt Romney sure seems like an awful place.
Thank god it’s only imaginary.
“The Road We’ve Traveled”? More like, the G5 we flew; to Clooney’s estate on Lake Como. Bastards. . . .
Yeah……How dare they. Not like Romney who would have flown tourist class and stayed in a 3 Star hotel.
and what happens if he wins?
Pigs fly.
What you mean “if?” He’s running against Mitt Romney, the failure of a candidate who does everything in his power to self-sabotage his campaign on a daily basis. Obama’s going to roll him.
In fact, the video on veterans referenced here was created by Siegel Strategies, produced by Mooney Marketing, and narrated by Tom Hanks.
