"Hi. I'm Phil. I did it. And I'm proud of it."

That's how Phil de Vellis revealed himself on the liberal blog, "The Huffington Post," as he admitted that he created this ad blasting democratic presidential front runner Hillary Clinton.  de Vellis added that he did it to show "that the future of American politics rests in the hands of ordinary citizens."

"I made the "Vote Different" ad because I wanted to express my feelings about the Democratic primary, and because I wanted to show that an individual citizen can affect the process," wrote de Vellis. "There are thousands of other people who could have made this ad, and I guarantee that more ads like it--by people of all political persuasions--will follow."

In the ad, de Vellis blasted Hillary Clinton and encouraged viewers to vote for Barak Obama.  The sticky part is that de Vellis works for a consulting firm hired by the Obama campaign, and neither Obama nor members of his campaign authorized the ad.

de Vellis admitted he would support Clinton if she won the democratic primary.

"I recognize that this ad is not [Obama's] style of politics," de Vellis continued. "I also believe that Senator Clinton is a great public servant, and if she should win the nomination, I would support her and wish her all the best."

His 15 minutes of YouTube fame have cost Phil his job.

On Wednesday, Blue State Digital issued a statement saying de Vellis had been fired for violating a company policy barring "outside political work or commentary on behalf of our clients..." de Vellis said he had left the company voluntarily "so as not to harm them, even by implication."

Phil said he created the ad in his apartment using his own equipment.

Humm... seems like all the "Big" (software) companies have programing individuals, who work diligently to create viruses, political videos, hack into other "Big" companies and steal peoples credit data. All this, so the other "Big" companies will concede, maybe even purchase their new improved firewall/antivirus software. True, Hillary Clinton said alot of things... but even you the reader of this post, most likely has said things in the past you no longer believe in. If you're going to cast stones at someone, it should be directed at the individual(s) who misuse personal or public data. Hum... evil is evil and knowledge was the first sin, not sex morons.
