obama's is better
Hillary's is funny, but it doesn't give the viewer an emotional reason to vote for her. It's like one of those commercial ads that makes you laugh, but at the end you have no idea what the product is or why you'd want it. Even the imagery of her leaving the band doesn't really play well for her; all we get from this video is that she made these poor kids feel bad. Even though Obama's says almost nothing, it's very powerful in playing to the sense that his campaign is a movement, more cultural in substance than political.
