Watch the Hillary Clinton advertisement featuring Jack Nicholson
A campaign advert for Hillary Clinton featuring an unlikely cast of supporters including Batman’s ’the Joker’ and a mass-murderer from the film The Shining has proved an internet hit.
Since its release on Friday, more than 1.2 million people have viewed a film by Hollywood film star Jack Nicholson which splices together scenes from some of the Oscar winner’s most famous films to articulate his reasons for endorsing Clinton.
“And now folks, it’s time for ’who do you trust’. Hubba hubba hubba, money, money, money, who do you trust?”, opens Nicholson in the role of the Joker from the 1989 film Batman, before the film cuts to a scene from the 1980 horror movie The Shining, recasting his mass-murdering character’s unhinged mumblings as a comment on the Bush administration: “Things could be better, Lloyd. Things could be a whole lot better.”
The one and a half minute film then flashes a message advertising Clinton’s plan “to deal with the nearly 47 million American without health care".
In what will be interpreted as a comment on Clinton’s stance on Iraq and her repeated claims to be "ready from day one", Nicholson’s performance as Colonel Nathan Jessep in A Few Good Men is also used.
”Maybe we as officers have a responsibility to this country to see that the men and women charged with its security are trained professionals,” he comments before the film ends, to the tune of ’Glory Glory Hallelujah’, with some words of advice from the same character: “There is nothing on this earth sexier, believe me gentlemen, than a woman you have to salute in the morning.”

Obama supporters' parody response to Nicholson's ad for Hillary is also getting a lot of play. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3VEMazRvNY.
While Hillary whines about her mis-treatment by the media, Obama takes the scurrilous attacks, many of which emanate from her campaign, like a man, and shrugs them off as "part of politics".

THERE IS NO CHANGES WITH OBAMA AND HIS USUAL WASHINGTON POLITICAL TATICS EXCEPT THE MEDIAS HELP AT HIDING HIS RECORD OF SUPPORTING THE WAR AND BUSH. WHAT OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE AFRAID TO REALIZE. "Senator Obama has some questions to answer about his dealings with one of his largest contributors, Exelon, a big nuclear power company. Apparently he cut some deals behind closed doors to protect them from full disclosure in the nuclear industry."Obamas record shows he supports the war, voted twice in 2006 against bringing America's troops back home. He voted for war appropriations giving our money to Halliburton and Blackwater where recently A Houston, Texas woman, who says she was gang-raped by her co-workers at a Halliburton/KBR camp in Baghdad, His latest bit of posturing S 433 allows the Bush Administration to suspend any troop withdrawal!!!!if not suspended, still keeps the troops in Iraq for a long time to come? Obama when faced with tough choices always gave in to pressure from the Bush administration or corporate lobbyists. Such as Obama voted for Bush's energy bill, sending more than $13 billion in subsidies and tax breaks to oil, coal, and nuclear companies. Obama voted with Republicans to allow credit card companies to raise interest rates over 30 percent, INCREASING STUDENT LOANS RATES AND FEES increasing hardship for families. Obama voted for one of Bush's top priorities - expanding Nafta to South America - even as President Bush obstructed all the top Democratic priorities. Obama voted with Bush to make it harder for ordinary people to hold big corporations accountable when they do things like sell toxic toys, poisonous pet food, human food or just plain rip you off. Obama was the Senate's biggest Democratic advocate of subsidies for liquid coal, even though liquid coal produces twice the global warming pollution of the crude oil it's meant to replace and voted for increased subsidies, albeit with conditions.Obama, a Hamiltonian believer in free trade and supporters of globalization has lent his support to the "Hamilton Project formed by corporate-neoliberal Citigroup chair Robert Rubin and other 'Wall Street Democrats' to counter populist rebellion against corporate tendencies within the Democratic Party. Obama provided assistance to pro-war candidates (such as Joe Lieberman). Obama voted for "business-friendly 'tort reform' bill that rolls back working peoples' ability to obtain reasonable redress and compensation...from corporations!!! Obama considers single payer universal health care too socialist and has stated that he prefers voluntary solutions. **He voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive. Abortion opponents see Obama's vote on medical care for aborted fetuses as a refusal to protect the helpless. Some have even accused him of supporting infanticide. Obama trivializes abortion by his attempt to find consensus social issues on which to base his campaign. He has a long record that neglects protecting pre-born children. 1452 black babies lose their lives to abortion every day in America. Unbelievably, Obama continues to refuse to address the disproportionate killing of African American babies in their mother's womb. Obama even supports the killing of born and partially born children.

The media has attacked Hillary Clinton from every angle; but they treat Obama as though he was "fragile" and they did not want to upset him. They have allowed him to make false statements and never once questioned him. They went after anyone that made a comment about his Muslim religion, yet a Republican that is a Morman, was chopped up by the Media. They treat Obama as though he is the "Great Black Hope" rising from the ashes of John Kennedy. Study your History, the thing Obama and Kennedy have in common is their ability to deliver a well written speech..in the words of a speech writer; not their words. Why haven't the media checked into the financial "friendship" of Obama and Oprah Winfrey????
HILLARY CLINTON IS THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC CHOICE....I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA..and THAT GOES FOR MANY OTHER DEMOCRATS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

Jack is a prime candidate for Hillary"s new campaign chairman. He is one of the finest actors and American examples of what Being Human really is. Some people have lost track of what they are voting for. Most are voting their unresolved disfunctional emotional financial life. Voting for President is more than that. It is seeing and hearing what is true. Hillary is true. After her time in the White House and Bill's insatiable need for sexual gratification anyone would run the other way. This woman cares and if anyone in this country can do their own soul searching they can see that it takes a strong commttment to stand up and run for New York Senate and then for President. This is who we want for our next President someone who can brave the trail for us all. She has shown her true colors and the are Red, White and Blue. Go for it Hillary you represent us all with your strength and passion, we can feel you reaching into the mess and cleaning it up roll up your sleeves and do the JOB.
