Bizarre Anti-Obama Advertisement Frames him as 007



American Crossroads, an association which promotes the election of Republican candidates has released a bizarre video attacking President Obama by framing him as a 'James Bond'-like figure.

The advertisement focuses on Obama's comments to Russian President Medvedev where he said that following the upcoming election he would have more flexibility with regards the implementation of missile defence systems.

The American Crossroads organization has in turn released a video that attacks the President as being a foreign spy, yet at the same time frames him as a "007".

The video looks and sounds like a piece of satire, yet its goal is apparently to discredit the President. Considering that when one thinks of James Bond, they tend to think of a bad-ass, its rather bizarre that they chose to frame Obama as a 007 in an attempt to discredit him. If anything, it would have been more effective to fall back on a 'Manchurian Candidate' style attack.
