Obama cuts Red Cross campaign PSA

  I'm not a big fan of the Red Cross for any number of reasons.
  This campaign ad PSA from the Red Cross exemplifies the problem with this group. Note the first 20 seconds of the 51 second PSA is about Obama's vision of "having each others' backs" because "We're Americans and that's what we do," which is in direct conflict with Obama's behavior in Benghazi.
  Just as he mentioned several times when he positioned himself in front of the NYC cameras that "we don't leave anybody behind" even though we did. Of course, his purpose was political and, in his usual petty backbiting way, he's determined to get back at his critics. He did the same thing when he said, "Lean forward" as part of his pep talk to NYC. MSNBC commercial or Obama campaign commercial. There's no difference anymore.
  Here's the ad, via Gateway Pundit:

Transcript:
"When a natural disaster strikes it can leave tens of thousands of families needing help. But it can also bring out the best in the American people.  
In this country, we look out for one another. We have each others' backs Because despite our differences we are Americans first.  
That's what Americans do. These efforts are often led by the American Red Cross and other members of the national voluntary organizations active in disasters. These groups are on the ground at the very beginning of a crisis.  
Long after the tv cameras are gone, they're providing food, shelter, and other services to those in need. They do incredible work but they can't do it alone. 
They need your support. We can't always predict when the next natural disaster will occur. But if we do our part, each of us, then together we can make a difference."
  So many of these words are transparently political.
