Gotta give Obama credit for one thing...

Sitting having a cold beer after a round of golf in 100 degree weather...tv in the bar is tuned to CNN (rememembef when it was ONLY Fox?), and the ad with Mitt singing "America" has already played twice. People actually stopping to watch, and laugh. Keep in mind, these are old white men playing golf. Didn't hear a single groan or word of dissent.

People watched the ad, then immediately went back to discussing their games.
