Best ad of the campaign.

Agreed

If by best you mean the one causing the most lols then yes. Definitely the best.

I don't know about desperate but it's clearly not taking itself or the issue at hand very seriously.
Who knows though, maybe a good laugh was the entire intent.

The official response was as expected. from the sesame workshop site:

Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns. We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down.

Great Obama ad narrated by Morgan Freeman, who I'll personally take over Stacey Dash in the "black actor backing a Presidential candidate" stakes.

Challenges.

Kind of pathetic. "few have faced so many.." really? this is what the message is now: hardest job everrrrrrr. What about others presidents and their challenges, which were certainly met with more tenacity than this guy? Campaign in a downward spiral if this is their new approach.

Edit: also still seeing the laughable big bird one everywhere, which can't be good. it's lols every time and I can't imagine that's the message you want to be championing with weeks to go. it starts so serious with criminals and then... Big bird! so many chuckles... I guess laughs and self pity are the new tactics to win.
