"The Hope and the Change" is a more sophisticated and potentially potent effort than the Hillary project was. Instead of featuring strident partisan voices such as Morris or Ann Coulter, the cast of 40 is composed entirely of registered Democrats and independents who voted for Obama in 2008.

"In the film’s opening segment, a haunting musical strain plays as Obama’s campaign plane (dubbed “Change”) is seen descending through the clouds over Denver, interspersed with vast crowd scenes of breathlessly expectant supporters. Bits of Obama’s cosmic rhetoric (“this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal”) are intercut with close-ups of faces twisted in ecstatic zeal, culminating in Obama’s memorable line, “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” "

The Republican National Committee releases "What Else?" Video hits back at Stephanie Cutter.
