"Buster"

October 9, 2008 | 2:45 PM

New biographical Barack Obama ad -- "Buster" -- running nationally stresses his biographical roots. Mentions his mother and grandparents. Notes that his grandfather served in the Army and that his grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line. Patriotic images: ticker-tape parade, American flag, astronaut landing, a young Obama with a baseball bat.

Script: "His life was shaped by the values he learned as a boy, hard work, honesty, self-reliance, respect for other people, kindness, faith, that’s the country I believe in."
