It’s not easy to spot sincerity especially when it comes to actors, who are trained to fake it. However I think Ron Howard is being sincere here, thoughtful and level headed. His concern and love of country is clear and I respect his choice to make it public. It was also a creative piece of filmaking but of course we expect that.

I thought it was a heartfelt outreach put in a fun and nostalgic way. His manner was warm, calm and intelligent. Quite different from some of the abusive and alarmist noise coming from the other side.

After the ruinous 8 years we have endured, I think everyone has an obligation to help take the nation back. Howard himself says at the beginning of the video a similar sentiment. We have had a war based on a lie and now we are entering a recession of frightening dimensions.

I applaud him for helping. I think most public personalities do in fact have to pay attention to politics but icons like Howard and Andy Griffith don’t have to fear any backlash and thanks to them we may get our country back

Boy that took alot of guts to do! More power to them.It just goes to show that the country is headed in a different direction now.I belive that the election will be more of a blow out than most people think. I supported the war from the start.Saddam hussien needed to go! I do not support an army of occupation though!

I thought it was just fun.Hearing Fonzie And Ritchie.It’s like nothing changed.Fonzies still dating those twins and triplets.The three icons must seriously care about this great country to go into character.It’s just their commitment to better this country.I thought it was great.We know Ron isn’t dumb enough to support the other canditate.Made me laugh.

I am not an Obama supporter, but I had no problem with Howard’s video, primarily because it was so positive (the fun with Sarah Palin was just that – fun). Maybe that’s a reflection of the characters that Howard, Griffith, and Winkler portrayed on those shows, and perhaps I might have reacted differently if Jack Lord had been doing the politicking. (Now I’m imagining what Chris Knight could have done with a “change” line…)

“Happy Days” premiered in 1974 while “Brady Bunch” was in its last months on the air. I always thought that was fitting. Until about 1979, “HD” was really my favorite show.

I don’t have a problem with Ron Howard’s clip but I guess it’s totally subjective. I completely support Obama so I found the video charming and effective. What surprised me most was seeing Andy Griffith because I always thought his politics leaned to the right.

Everyone I know supports Obama and all the people I showed the video to thought it was great.
