Realizing he is losing ground with Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Barack Obama‘s campaign made a surprise move by buying ad space during yesterday’s Super Bowl. The 30-second ad shows Obama with bullhorn in hand addressing a crowd during a trip to Africa in 2006.
“We want an end to this war and we want diplomacy and peace. Not only can we save the environment, we can create jobs and opportunity. We’re tired of fear; we’re tired of division. We want something new. We want to turn the page. The world as it is is not the world as it has to be,” said Obama.
The 30-second ad cost Obama $250,000 and aired in 24 states during the Super Bowl. His campaign took in $32 million in campaign contributions last month alone.
