A typical politician who has done nothing. An empty suit the Germans were intelligent enough to say "no" to when he wanted his campaign stop at the Brandenburg gate. Wow he goes on a little vacation and now he is an expert on international affairs? Are you kidding me? Lifelong Moderate Dem voting Republican 08. Hopefully a Republican who has shown he can work in a bipartisan fashion can temper a Pelosi lead Liberal House and Senate. A Socialist inexperienced hypocrite President with a left leaning Congress= disaster. Nothing but a "rock star" who has repeatedly shown a willingness and an uncanny ability to flip flop and pander.

If the rest of the world hadn't been treated with such disrespect and loathing by Bush for the last 8 years, maybe they would like McCain too.

The premise of this ad and comparison of Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton (what? is McCain "Hanoi Hilton?") are so ridiculous that the ad is more of a wild swing that misses its mark than it is "hard hitting."

John McCain rose dramatically in the last half of June, after the senator from Arizona made a high-profile split with environmentalists and reversed his opposition to the federal ban on offshore drilling. Oil and gas industry executives and employees donated $1.1 million to McCain last month -- three-quarters of which came after his June 16 speech calling for an end to the ban -- compared with $116,000 in March, $283,000 in April and $208,000 in May.
