(CNN) – On the same day that Sen. John McCain gave an ambitious speech laying out what he intends to accomplish by the end of his first term in office, his campaign released an accompanying Web ad dramatizing those hypothetical achievements.
“The year: 2013,” an announcer says as the words “2013” appear on screen. Then the ad goes through a laundry list of accomplishments McCain envisions: stabilizing the Middle East, reducing the threat of nuclear terrorism, strengthening border security, advancing energy independence, reforming wasteful spending by the federal government, delivering health care choice, and restoring economic confidence. “The year: 2013, the president: John McCain,” the announcer says as McCain’s image appears on screen.
McCain, the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, has been touring fall battleground states for the past several weeks while he lays out his policy proposals and reaches out to constituencies he will need to win the White House in November.

platitudes....with no explanation to how it will get done....
like he said we will have troops there for 100 years
hes stealing the democrats ideas
• There you go Sen. McCain dreaming out loud. The sun must be beating down on your head making you delusional. You also have forgotten this America and not Great Britain. We have our own political system. I would have thought 30 years in the same office you might figure how it works.
Go Obama / Edwards 08
Mr. Warmonger!
There is no way we are going to stand by while our troops are in Iraq for 5-more freaking years! That would be 10-years! We don't have the money for 5-more years!
You say Obama is not fit to be president – neither are you!
Just because you were a POW of another war the USA should not have been in – does not make you fit to lead us!
There is nothing tough about a POW for 5-years! In my view – you are a punk!
Go Obama! Bring our troops home starting 2009 – it's time that Iraq
stand up and run their country!
It would be nice to know how he plans on accomplishing these things... Anyone can say what they want, but lets hear how he plans to do it.
I trust McCain to keep America secure from domestic and foreign threats.
CNN,
My comment here is for Cambell Brown. YOu are a sick woman! Please don't judge YOUR view with saying that "sweetie" comment nobody likes. Speak for your self you limited minded old woman. Many of us WISH that Barack call us sweetie.
hahahahaha...what a joke!
*****************NEVER SEND A BOY TO DO A MAN'S JOB*************
SEND A WOMAN!!
HILLARY
Not worth a comment.
Bush, Cheney, McCain, Romney, and the rest of the idiot republicans should find a hole to crawl into. They have made a shambles of this country. I don't understand why any working stiff would vote for them. McCain is going to push an agenda to make the rich richer, and the powerful more arrogant.
I don't know much, but i do think that Hillary would be a great president if not her then John McCain. Either would be a great commander in chief
And how does he hope to achieve a stable Middle East in five years? Or provide "health care choice".... Americans have "health care choice" right now and the reality the majority of them simply cannot afford it if their employers don't offer a plan. McCain has no plan to change anything, these things are not going to change on their own.
Obama '08
Such nice idealistic thoughts but his policies will NOT lead to ANY of his visions for 2013!
If you're better off today than you were 8 years ago then vote for McSame...
He'll lead us straight into war with Iran – make no mistake – because he's already doing his best to paint them as the new 'enemy.'
This is the same man who said he'd follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell – but then we've never finished the job in Afghanistan...
McCain = MORE War!!!
I would like to thank CNN for being a fair reporting of news channels.I am so disappointed in the leaders of the Democrats. They decided that Obama would be president and have backed him all the way. I cannot believe with everything reported about him, (not good) has made no difference with any of them including superdelegates. Hillary Clinton should be President and God willing she will somehow survive. If she does not, it will be the end of the Democrats for me. I do not want McCain for president but I will vote for him if Hillary is not on the ticket. What happened to the leaders of the party–Dean and Nancy. You are destroying the party. I have voted for Democrats for many years and compare Hillary to John F Kennedy and Bill Clinton.
Good changes will come about if Hillary wins. She will win because of the people not the good old boys.
HA!
Oh man, does he want a cup of Rainbow stew with his ad?
That's the biggest fantasy I've seen in the last month, and I just watched Harry Potter.

Great message from McCain. But hurry all you Obama supporters lets put out his message of hope because it's not coming from Obama.......
But before 2013, kill them, bomb them, destroy them, and annihilate them until none is left.
A "bold" vision for America indeed.
But a solid continuation of the Bush hegemony. America is tired of all that bomb, kill, and destroy stuff.
It's time to reason like real human beings and McCain doesn't meet that criterium.
Bush also said the year 2009 - well guess what they have in common?
Obama Supporters , You don't GET IT !!!! . Obama Can Have ALL THE ENDORSEMENTS , PLEDGED DELEGATES , AND SUPER DELEGATES , 1 MILLION DELEGATES , IT DOESN'T MATTER !!!!!!!
OBAMA WILL NEVER GET OR VOTES !!!!!!
WE WILL ONLY VOTE FOR , HILLARY OR JOHN McCAIN !!!!
NO OBAMA !!!!!!!
this guy is a joke. the only thing McCain did not tell us is when he is going to retire.
Mr. McCain,
2013 is too far off. Leaving our brave fighting men and women
in harms way in a war that shouldn't have been waged is just
not good enough.
Sorry. Dems unite in 08 and stop the madness.
