Male
Announcer: President Bush. Remember the American Dream?
It's about hope, not fear. It's about more jobs at home, not tax breaks for shipping jobs overseas. It's about giving our children their chance, not our debt. It's about providing health care for people, not just profits. It's about fighting for the middle class, not special interests. George Bush's priorities are eroding the American Dream. It's time to take our country back from corporate greed and make America work for every American. |

| Notes and
Observations: The ad has a definite Madison Avenue touch to it, showing
high production values. There is a lot of positive and uplifting
imagery in what is after all an attack on Bush.
