Old Spice guy's advice to Obama: Lose the shirt

By now, most of the women in America and many beyond have come to know Isaiah Mustafa, the self-reporting fine-smelling Old Spice guy from the wonderfully humorous video ads that have gone viral. (See one below)

And of the men who have ever heard of the good-natured Mustafa, many probably now hate him and his sweet-smelling strut.

Bill Clinton's former political operative George Stephanopoulos sent in an e-mailed question to the Old Spice ad folks, who've been answering nearly 200 of the thousands of e-mails with new viral ads. Hey, if Internet users want to help spread the word about Old Spice, what can you do but oblige?

George's question was: What can a President Obama, now faltering in the polls, do to reconnect with voters, especially females, who've been unfollowing him in droves in recent months.

Mustafa's advice: Henceforth go shirtless -- in a towel. Stop starting the State of the Union with the boring "My fellow Americans," Pick up Mustafa's trademark "Haalllooo, ladies!" Then, at the end, go with the big presidential ab point.

And, of course, use a certain manly-smelling body wash.

This campaign is pure genius!

President Obozo might lose the shirt but his performance will still be stinking way beyond the ability of Old Spice to fix his political stench. How about resigning and moving back to Kenya? That might improve his popularity.

Not sure if the ladies go for manboobs

I guess somebody on the "Southside" has got a crush on President Obama. I mean come on; Southside had to be paying close attention in order to complain.

One would think that all you racist, angry and hateful people would have gotten over yourselves by now. Everyone knows how the country got into this ditch, and everybody knows that those same people are not lifting a finger for the struggling people of this country. All they do is whine and complain. They have absolutely NOTHING to bring to the table. All of you racist and hateful people are aware that the Republicans have only one agenda; to try and make sure that President Obama fails. But they are failing at their lame agenda, and will soon realize how much of an embarrassment their behavior has been for this country. One last thing; President Obama was not born in Kenya.

Presidential Ab Point xD

@Mankind; Granted there are those whom base their negative opinion of our president soully on his color, it is also true that there are citzens that did the same with positive respects. Many of Obama's votes came from low income uneducated areas, these citzens that voted for him, in many cases, were completely and totally oblivious of all but two facts; those being that he's black and will give them money.

It does not make someone racist when they do not want to give their hard earned money that they've spent their entire life working for to high school dropouts whom have seven children and refuse to get a job because they're too good to work at McDonalds and are getting their fix above their childrens health and well being.

Work for fifty years, endure blood sweat and tears, put effort into every little thing you do, raise a family, and get told that your taxes are now being raised significantly so that you can feed some crack heads addiction so that they dont have to get a job and be a functioning member of society and tell me that I'm Racist.

Might work for Obama in 2012 for the small number of voters not afflicted
with accute amnesia.But for the coming mid terms dems have already failed
the smell test and have as much attractive power as a horny skunk just run
over by an 18 wheeler.
