CNN

Did McCain think Obama would just sit and take the false attacks?? This isn't John Kerry, Obama fights back, and will win.

McCain's only chance at winning was to remain a 'maverick' and run against Bush's policies. Instead, he's become Bush's heir, and the American people don't want the same old failed policies. All the ads and talk is just filler, the choice is clear.

Obama '08

I am deeply disappointed with John McCain. What happened to the "Straight Talk Express?" Shame on you, John McCain, for becoming something that I never thought you would, Mr. Negativity.

Get off McCain's back. He can't help it don't forget the aging process might be beneficial to fine wines and liquors but probably not the right recipe for President of the United States.

Why don't people just look at the appearance of both candidates and honestly choose which person you would want representing your country for the next 4 years. The past 8 years with a rodeo clown at the helm has seen nothing but protests and flag burnings all over the world. And yes the U.S. image does matter world wide as you are not an Island unto yourself.

Apparently he is ready to lead, because McCain is following in his footsteps when he changed his mind on a 16mo withdrawl timetable. Bush is following when it came to sending a high ranking official to sit in on the Iran talks.

I cant wait till the conventions are over when the REAL race starts. All this other crap isn't even news worthy. Neither candidate has gone into detail with their plans.

Yup, McCain has taken the "dirt road", but it won't lead him to the White House. He has too much to hide–including his service record and his wife's income tax returns–to be fighting in the gutter. It figured that his campaign would take this turn after he hired several of Karl Rove's disciples. What kind of judgment does McCain have? None of the right kind! He's a bitter old man under the control of some totally amoral controllers.

I saw this attack ad and it was very lame. Obama, you are the weakest link!

Great ad, McCain folks.

Barack is all nervous, so nervous he had to crank his sorry excuse for a "reply."

This ad captures so much in such a short time. Brilliant!

It's hits too close to home, eh, Obama??

CNN = Fox Jr – just disguise it – tho not very well

Why leave a comment ? The moderator went to a 6 martine dinner and never came back.

Typical Republican CNN.

McShame is an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!! Just a sad old man with nowhere to go but negative. The best he can do is ride around with grandpappy Bush and speak in front of a cheese case and a German fudge shop.
McOld needs to retire and go home and enjoy his family with the time he has left in the world.

I cannot believe people will vote for any republican in 2008. Especially those that are living paycheck to paycheck. If you are not living paycheck to paycheck you probably do not have enough savings to survive 6 months of unemployment.

Why can't we just listen to the words that come from the candidates mouths in there entirety (in context)? Not just the pieces the media want us to hear. Are we that closed minded? This is really pathetic. The road ahead of us as a nation is very long (still).

I want my children to be proud of this country for it's Greatness. We have lost that and if you don't think so just look around.

I love the Obama campaign. They are quick with the response. Take that McCain, R.I.P. the strait talk of express of 2000.

I can't believe I respected you.

Obama 08.

John McCain is engaged in the most dirty campaign since old bushie beat him back in 2000.

John can't come out with his real platform because the American people have had enough of that stuff! So, he engages in mud slinging like all good republicans!

It seems that some prominent Republicans are stepping up and criticizing Mccain, and rightfully so. Even some of his supporters, at least the ones who attended college, are turned off by this thinly veiled attempt to appeal to the voters worst instincts.>>>Don't trust someone who looks different, talks different, has a different kind of name. I have no problem with sonone who has rational based criticism of BO. But to appeal to people's prejuidices is another thing entirely, and is highly contemptible.

Why, why, why doesn't anyone publically ask the "maverick"
Senator he has caved into GOP pressure to go so negative
this early in the general election cycle.
Sadly, tons of young voters will like the fact Senator Obama
was connected to the starlets. Obama may gain votes from the
under 25 crowd because of the ad.

Obama moved the DNC to his headquarters. McCain has
given his message to the fear mongers in the GOP.

Maybe the GOP can run with out a candidate. It seems that is
what they are doing anyway.

Peace

Dang, I guess McCain's whole plan is to be "President Not-Obama." Doesn't he have anything to say about himself?

McCain would have done better to have Paris and Britney do a "McCain Girls" ad for him (you know, like "Obama Girl"?). Much more effective use of their names for him. I can just picture it now....

Not Cute Grandpa.....

The ad does not quote media outlets claiming he has "gone negative" it quotes several media outlets saying the charges ARE FALSE – BALONEY – NOT TRUE. Get your sorry reporting straight.

UPDATE: Tucker Bounds, spokesman for the McCain campaign, released the following statement in response to the Obama campaign's new "Low Road" ad: "Pointing out your opponent’s worldwide celebrity is not the ‘low road,' and neither is pointing out that he opposes oil drilling and supports higher taxes.”

Since Tucker Bounds does ALL the talking for John McCain why isn't HE running...oh thats right McCain is stuck in OZ- pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

Why does this post purport to be about Obama's ad but only link to McCain's? That doesn't make any sense.

Neither do McCain's spokespeople. Has anything intelligible ever come out of their mouths? These to be the most juvenile, amateurish PR people I've ever seen. They must think we Americans are pretty stupid. I for one am fed up with McCains old, stale ideas and his negative campaigning. Americans are hopeful people, not haters, and McCain's negative campaigning looks desperate and shameful.

If you'd like four more years listening to folks that treat you like second graders, McCain's your man. I on the other hand think America is ready to fulfill its destiny for greatness, so I'm voting for Obama!

Kansas Republican is a hypocrite and a fool. I am so sick of people like that. The GOP(gross old perverts) are the masters of the smear and dirty tricks. Edmund Muskie, Tom Eagleton, Tricky Dick and Watergate, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth? It won't work anymore. And after they tried to destroy Clinton, we get Mark Foley and Larry Craig, and that's just a couple I can remember. Help me out here people. Let's bury these creeps for good. Democrats in 2008!

The McCain camp is looking more and more desperate and without a real message.

Too bad Senator Obama has too stoop to this level to send a clear message to the voters. Wish he could stay above the fray but with the false and misleading statements being made by McCain, the RNC,and certain conservative groups, what else can he do but defend himself and state the truth.

I like the update part. Pointing out facts are the new low? take the hit man. Just point out that you have more followers and he's jealous...something along those lines. When are we going to debate? Talk about real issues? 2 wks before election? Get on the ball Media or your not going to have a Country to subscribe to your cable Networks.

this clearly shows that McCain has no policy or a clear message. Old dirty tricks. if he wants to be the president he has got to show the people what he stands for beside supporting failed Bush policies. Barack in new, young but at least he has a clear message and he is talking to American people.

Can some one please explain to me how Obama's ad isn't an attack ad??????

The old man is losing it. Did not he used to say this time around it will be different. I guess you cannot teach an old dog new trick. Anyway of his recent comments has any substance...just attack on Obama. Mr. McCain if you substance debt on issues or the scare tactic did not work for you on Bush. I just lost total respect for you. Anyways I was wrong in entertaining the idea of you being a decent opponent. You really proved that you represent the past.

John McCain is pitful and very afraid of Obama winning. I think he puts him self into the same spot as Hilton and Spears by using such a disgusting ad against Obama.

Same and old. Two words that describe McCain precisely. Same. old.

Can McSame get anymore juvenile ?
He's too old to be acting this way.
Or is it an act after all ?
At any rate, he's too old to be president.

So why doesn't CNN have the new Obama ad on this site?

I don't care if McCain is a hundred years old. I choose to vote for him rather than Obama. At least he has done something in his life to deserve the Presidency. This will be the first time in my life I have voted Republican.

Kansas Republican July 30th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

"Yeah! Anytime McCain says anything about Obummer, he's just terrible. "

This wouldn't be an problem if McCain would stick to issues instead of personal attacks. People are tired of the Republican tactics when it comes to politics. McCain is so busy attacking Obama instead of stating where he stands on issues that no one knows what he stands for only what he doesn't like about Obama's stance on issues. He sold out to the Republicans, no longer having a mind of his own (which is probably why he doesn't state where he stands) and he's lost a lot of votes because of it.

Obama ought to know, he has been practicing old time politics himself.

As a Reoublican who awaits who John McCain will pick as a VP running mate (and that choice will decide whether I vote for McCain or not), I find this latest commercial absolutely ridiculous, stupid and mindless. Whoever McCain has running this part (and others as well) is a moron. These types of attacks linking Obama to two females who have serious issues despite their money, is weak and the point of their ad gets lost in the mush of a disjointed ad. Whatever happened to running a clean campaign, or did you just forget John?

McCain needs to read the paper as gas prices are not soaring as they once were.He does live in the past, and when he talks you hear the voice of George Bush. Constant attack ads are the sign of a man out of touch with the real issues of the day, and people are tired of them. From the mouth of the man who vowed to run a clean campaign concentrating on the issues, I'm sure that his ads will get very dirtyand viscious the closer we get to election day. It his stock and trade and the same type of campaign ads he ran against Bush senior. What a shame that the public has to hear the ranting of a man like that.

In 2004, Obama liken himself to Paris Hilton, it wasn't McCain.

A nice uppercut after an underhanded shot seems fair to me...Old politics and the failed policies of the current administration have no place in a real America, and it will come to a stop when the American people start to demand accountability from their elected officials. If I remember correctly, they work for us, and I once heard that the customer is always right, more apparently, for better or worse. We need some sort of change in government now, if not yesterday. Bring on the debates.

Obama's complaint = a slam against Britney and Paris. Why does he dislike the comparision?

Its about time.
The GOP Negative tactics shall backfire on them this year.

Comparing Obama to Paris Hilton just lost McCaine team and the GOP youth votes and help to reaffirm the fact that McCain and the GOP is indeed a Geriatric Party with Geriatric ideas.

Obama as Democratic Party nominee spoke in Berlin and over 200,000 people turned out to see and listen to him. Imagine how many shall turn out when he goes back to speak in the same city Berlin as President? Perhaps Million. YES. Thats the extent to which he's loved all over the world.

Surprisingly, McCain too had been in Europe before where he couldn't even raised a crowd of 500 people. He comes accross as a dull, uninspiring man better suited to an Elderly Nursing Home.
He's just gone a step ahead to confirm this by his ad.

SHAME on McCain and the GOP.

This old goat is getting some bad advice if he is trying to woo voters outside his familar block :Old, middle American trailer home and disgruntled grumpety old grumps who dump wike there porridge lumpy...

McCain's camp is really scraping the bottom of the barrel in this attack..God forbid people would actually like and respect someone running for President. What a feeble attempt at trying to make someone stronger look weak..poor old dog.. he really is such an old geezer.. and his camp is becoming laughable. Give it up Johnny.. you will never outshine Barack..never..

The McCain ad likening Obama to Paris and Britney is childish and jealous. I personally love the fact that the rest of the world is behind Barack – and the U.S. It's about time.

Instead of focusing on "People Magazine" politics, Senator McCain should take another course in Geography.

Obama is kinda starting to seem like a wuss as he tries to shift to the pollitical center for the general election. You should at least man up and stick to your beliefs, instead of Kerry-pandering to the center.

Thanks McCain, you've just made me donate another $50 to the Obama campaign. Join me in helping mccain's tactics backfire by increasing your support to Obama whenever McCain goes negative.

McBush you are too old, grumpy, senile, themeless, and hopeless to lead this country. Yours is the wrong America.

McCain = Bush

Bush = Failure

..please dont vote McCain.... for the sake of the country and future generations.

Well....Obama is a "celeb" because people LIKE him...

Yeah... Take his licks without crying and throw his punches without sarcasm...

This campaign is supposed to be about the issues we're facing as a nation. Not about dragging each other through the dirt. Unfortunately most voters, like politicians, would rather fight amongst themselves then get things done. Then these very same people wonder why things are the way they are today....

Splitting into different parties was the worst thing that ever happened to politics in this country. Let's think of more ways to divide ourselves. Using common sense is obviously not an option.

Obama campaign-you need to return fire with fire, and please be swift. One or two days delay is unacceptable and you might be swift boated so act as fast as possible, as there is no time to take the higher road with mcsurge.

I wonder why McAint's millionaire wife's Anheuser-Busch connection, as well as how quickly McAin't dumped his first wife are not becoming campaign issues.

And Brandon Hillary, referring to Barack Obama as "Hussein Obama" speaks volumes about your views.

Cindy McCain has done nothing with her life? I suggest that you do a little research on her background before you make any further foolish comments. She has a very impressive hands-on philanthropic background that most of us can only aspire to.

Mr. McCain has decided to offend the younger generation of voters who are showing themselves to be savvy, involved and far above the antics of Ms. Spears and Ms. Hilton. Mr. McCain is out of touch and entirely out of line. This ad is laughable. It is insulting to a new generation of voters. Not a good move Mr. McCain. Go Obama!

Obama 08: YES, WE SCAM!

For all the PUMA haters at continue to run from blog to blog crying over their lose...GET THE HE## OVER IT. Once again 18 million people also voted against HRC. Your numbers do not represent the rest of America, you know those of us with real jobs and real lives. We are a nation of 300+ million strong, your membership of 2000 (that"sll you are) wont even make a dent in the election, why because your not all concentrated in the same state, county or city to make a real impact. If you really care about HRC donate to her campaign, help her out of the debt she created to represent you, that will show true loyalty.

I think there may be some truth to the add. Albeit a low ball, but some one needs to show the sheep in this country that they are being led astray by nothing more than a celebrity pied piper. I'm glad to see the McCain campaign striving to enlighten people.
I concur with (Kansas Republican) and believe Obama needs to stop having a press conference and calling foul every time a new add comes out.

mccain should make an honest truthful ad about what he actually stand for oooooooops he can't because he's flipped flopped so much he can't he stands for nothing.

It's the bitter and arrogant "blogoholics" who are tearing this country apart. I'm a Democrat, and my Mom is a Republican, and we both felt terrible for how the 51% of the Democrats isolated and ridiculed the remaining 49% and demonized a loyal and hard-working Clinton, a proud Democrat and a patriot for the party.

Now you're at it again, laying insults at the feet of the truth about Obama's inadequacies. Get over the fact that the man does in fact have faults, and has errors in judgement, and perhaps doesn't see as much of the picture as everyone wants to claim.

It is hard to teach a very old dog new tricks when he is busy rolling around in his own dirt.

With citizens like you, the old U.S. of A. is surely going to implode one of these days. To you dopes, politics is just a game and nothing else. And the fact that old Georgie boy got elected twice speaks volumes about your lack of judgement, let alone intelligence. Some superpower! More like superpuke!

Obama is covered 100% by the corrupted CNN media...your polls are also polluted. American media was always a facade ..to see true media suggest CNN take lessons from the Brits!!

Cindy & Paris- similiarites are too great. Is McCain really thinking about Cindy in the ad?. Is this jealousy? Is Cindy -a fan of Obama?

McWarmonger went to Europe – they ignored him – they don't want another Bush either.

Hey – you rednecks gonna prove how silly you are AGAIN? Can't you learn anything about the $120 fillup on your 4X?

Get your guns and your bibles, and join the army. Your wife may be recruited for IRAN with Mc Whine.

McCain, he will do or say anything to win the white house.
He to old and he is only interested in continuing Bush policies.
he is going negative because he thinks it is going to help
him win.He in it for power and history books.

Kansas Republican:

Get an education.

So because Obama responds to an attack, he is someone "not taking punches?" So, now Obama shouldn't respond because you don't like it? Oh yeah, responding is so "girly man" of him. Right.

What is wrong with you?

Maybe you could get an education if you supported a candidate that believes in making higher education available to everyone that wants it instead of a candidate that literally does not want to sign off on a GI bill to give our troops benefits because he doesn't want it to be easy to get out of the military. Right, that's the guy who "supports the troops". Open your eyes, I'm tired of the ignorance.

No, those aren't the low road, but actually blaming Obama for high oil prices is, and its the dumbest thing I've ever seen. When GWB took office, oil was $20 a barrel. McCain and his republican congress were in control for 6 of those 7.5 years.

To Kansas Republican:

It seems like your candidate is the one crying. McJealous is the one who is desperate...

Obama '08

John McCain can use facts in the advertisement, well, what Obama can use???
NOTHING, LOOKS LIKE AN EMPTY BOX WITH A DECORATED OUTER FACE.

Does Obama oppose new drilling? Yes
Does Obama favor higher taxes on electricity? Yes
Is he being treated like a celebrity? Yes

So, how are these negative attacks? How are they lies?

If you are ashamed of your positions then maybe you should change them.

McCain you are not a war hero – you are a coward – you pretended to be a war hero but you turned your back on the American people by being captured. They should take the citation back as you did nothing while others fought to the end. You are a coward.

You will send young people to war and have them killed while you surrendered. Coward!

Just kidding!!! MCain you are a nice old man with great values and a strong sense of what is right. What a model citzen and a model campaign! Keep up the good work it is sure way to loose!! and a nice way to insult your fellow Americans.

I love how Tuck gives the typical whiners response after everything the Obama camp does.

Hey Kansas Republican... i don't think McCain is "just terrible", but I do believe that general consensus seems to be that he's running a pathetic campaign.

Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain: Please, Please. PLEASE! Stop nitpicking each other (he said this, he said that, he flipflopped, blah, blah blah).
Just plain and simple tell us what YOU would do as President.
I'm amazed that all those so-called political strategists continue to
believe that such back and forth negative finger pointing will win elections. Karl Rove is dead.

AND, it's the economy, stupid! It's obvious that the war will wind down now. And the current crisis and danger is here.

I just can't understand why CNN continues to overlook McCain's lies. I mean, there's one built in to McCain's attacks. Before the attacks, he said that America was tired of the old attack-style politics. He and Cindy has stated emphatically that we wouldn't see any attacks fro the McCain campaign. Well, it's obvious that it was a blatant lie. Why doesn't CNN cover this huge story? There is video of those false statements, after all...

McCain admits that Obama is the biggest celebrity. and that he is the biggest looser.Self confession by an Insane man .

McCain would you like some cheese with that whine........

I love McCain's ad. It makes Obama look good because it shows how silly McCain is. Did he actually spend campaign $s to put that out... to put out something that does not answer any questions? He acts like everyone has 'questions' about Obama. Well, I have 'questions' about McCain and this is the best he can do to tell me who HE is.

Where did all these delicate flowers come from? I love the McCain ad- and the Obama response is self righteous and whiney,

I love it!

Keep running those self righteous, whiney ads, Barry. McCain's ad is terrific – Obama's problem is that McCain's ad right on target.

If you don't think so, listen to the Liberal pundits spin this one on CNN – they're pretty desperate to cover for their arrogant, fluffy headed candidate.

McSame trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat. OLD DRIED UP WACKO!

A sad man is John McCain,he knuckled under in 2000 and took a promise from the Republicans to get him elected now.He gave up his manhood in doing so.

McCain's "attack" ad on Obama is backfiring, it highlights that Obama is very popular.

Boo on McCain's campaign - if they can't think of anything positive to say about their campaign, but can only stoop to criticizing another candidate!

Let me get this straight, it is not a good thing to be liked by the world as a leader? Does this make since? In order to be president I suppose a qualification is to not be liked or known. Another flip-flop by the McCain camp. First they state that Barack Obama is unknown, now he is a popular celebrity! John McCain is a HATER!

lastly..it is not necessary to make up stuff on McCain..just replay any three of his interviews, he contradicts himself every other day and this idiot doesn't even remember his just said the opposite stuff on tape.....

Absolutely! Bama you are very and so right . SAME OLD politics will NOT work this time. Bye to Karl Rove /real Macain style of politics. Let the atttack and counter attack begins. I am making a donation soon as I send this comment. Got line of friends that will follow as well. God bless America and God bless Barack and family. Bama you sure look and act presidential and beleivable even by the republicans. They are scared! Please make a donation for the next president > Bama 08

Is abamba threatening the life of American Hero John McCain? I just read a blog that said obamba was challenging John to a duel. obamba just can't help himself with his mega ego personality can he?

Barry also said he is related to Wild Bill, George Bush, a King of England and a host of others to probably include Osama himself. He just can't help himself. He is risky and I don't trust him.

bam may not be a Muslim but he is no stranger in the Muslim Church.

He will raise your taxes and "dis" your values.

Tried and true is John McCain

I really would like to hear from the Christian Right. I truly think McCain has represented conservatives across the board very well these past two weeks. All those pastors who stood by while G.W. Bush and Carl Rove called Good evil and evil Good without speaking a word. As the Republican attack machine spewed filth and slander all over honorable men who served their country, like John McCain and John Kerry, the Christian right didn’t find any error.

Conservative Christians supported this type of sinful behavior twice. Now they sit quietly in a corner pretending to be confused and unsure of themselves. They (Conservatives Christians) took part in slanderous deeds for the past 7 years. Now.... silent they sit.... allowing themselves and everyone who followed them to be mislead by the Conservative party.

Shame on you... those of you who call yourselves by HIS name. If you continue to set by and don't voice your morals about the downward path your party has taken, then God will take your voice period.

PLEEEEZE!
Can we talk about the REAL issues? McCain is starting to look worse than Bush, if that is possible.

The republicans have sunk to a new low trying to compare the next POTUS with two airheads like Paris and Britney. Grandpa McSame is looking more than desperate with this one!

OBAMA '08

Offshore drilling will not lower gasoline prices in the short term, even the Prez said that. Prices are dropping a bit due to the fact that we are using less. Refineries are producing at 85% capacity but yet we are not rationing gasoline like we did in the 70's, why is that? What I saved in a tankful of gasoline today didn't buy me a latte nor an extra gallon of gasoline. Tax cuts given to those top 1% during a time of war didn't create all these jobs they were suppose to. We have almost half a million job losses since the beginning of the year and almost as many home forclosures. Our troops are getting killed in Iraq while taking showers and KBR/Halliburton is refusing to take responsibility putting the responsibility square on the shoulders of the ARMY,but continues to take the paychecks from DOD. And you guys want to talk about celebrities?

Kansas rep, your guy is going down hard, even you guys comments are getting weaker n weaken, Romney would have had a better chance, but he is an idiot as well and un informed and out of touch......
oh pls tell me why McSame doesn't have his own platform, he keeps changing up, even in the same interview, and every time he speaks, he is either re iterating bush policies, or stealing Obama's...
16 month time table hummnnnn, don't talk to Iran or North Korea, hummnnn, oh and don't forget my favorite from the so called foreign policy expert.."Iraq and Pakistan share a border..(only if you blow Iran off the map) is that his 100 yrs war.....all I can do is laugh at the guy chosen by the RNC to lead the party cause if you recall everyone else backed out early so he could be crowned....tell me Kansas rep.....did you vote for McCain in the rep primary or was he shoved down your throat like the rest of the garbage he spewsssssssssssss

Wow–the venom you Obama fans have. . .doesn't matter who i end
up voting for--the acid in these comments from die hard Obama
admirers is a real turn off. It makes you all look so out of touch–
you can't have watched Obama skip across the world and not
see the arrogance in that.

McCain likes to through punches but cannot take them.

You people need to get over yourselves. If Obama was attacking McOLD as often as he does then people would say he is just another angry black guy.

The Maverick retired in 2000 I don't know this OLD fool.

Just to weigh in, McCain is looking desperate. I used to say that if there was ONE republican I would ever vote for that it might be him. Seeing how he has handled the pressures of facing Obama, with it not even close to the election, I have to face the fact that I guess I'll never vote republican...

Let McCain claim Obama's campaign is one of flowery hope... sometimes, hope is the best road we have to take...

As an Obama supporter, I think that Obama's response made him look like a whiny Democrat.

You can't really blame McEmpty for trying this. Since the media gives him a free ride he has nothing to lose. Also, he has nothing else to offer except bashing Obama. He has no policies, no individual thoughts, no plans of his own. Since Obama left for Iraq, we have heard nothing from McSame except negative crap.

McNegative.. you need to find substance to run on ... not rhetoric..

The view from outside looks like Mr. McCain needs to change his campaign managers he is rapidly becoming no more than an object of ridicule.

The old time politics of trying to confuse the issue and twist the opponents words into something other than what was actually said and/or meant just won't cut it in 2008 as people are becoming more sophisticated and not as gullible as they were in yester year.

Kansas Rebuttican just who is throwing their punches simply because McWAR has no agenda , no mind.and nothing going for him and he is so jealous and blank the old croney its like someone else said he was standing in a Grocery store holding a loaf of bread and he thought that was his run ing mate send him to a rest home .

When you don't have a good "product" to sell, you have to just bad mouth the competition...how sad for the US.

If I were a republican, I would be very upset that all they had was John McCain...the honorable veteran that he is but not presidential material.

My thoughts....

I think that McShame is a true scum bag. Wake up America, we need change! Let's get rid of the old policies and kick the repubs. out.
McCain will need diapers soon as he is very old and teeters between lucidity and alzheimers.

I would like for Sen. McCain to use his ad money to air commercials that tell us what he stands for and what he will accomplish as president – not what is wrong with Obama!
How are we going to solve the country's problems? Negative ads about opponents turn voters off. Be positive and tell us what you will do and stop giving publicity to your opponent.

Same old Republican tatic from a warey Senator who has been in Washington too long and cannot even do an impressive campaign and yet he had all this time during the Democratic Primaries and yet he cannot do anything right. Maybe somebody should lend him some gas money because the warey Senator needs a vacation because he cannot stay focus on anything, I guess thats a reqisite to being a Republican President.

Tucker Bonds from McCain camp is right Obama opposes drilling but why. Because the oil companies haven't drilled and extracted oil from the current leases so why give them more (Bush and McCain constituents). Obama will raise taxes but on the wealthy americans who don't pay many taxes anyway (Bush and McCain constituents). If Tucker Bonds is going to counter with some criticism he should tell th ewhole story.

Lets be honest.......

Both of these chumps are masters of the "politics of old".

McCain needs to stop the negative attack , this is what Hillary tried to do and did not work. We understand that McCain does not like the way people around the world like Obama, that when he went to Canada, Mexico and Colombia people did not even notice he was there, these things happen. His time to be president was a long time ago! Now it's time for a new leader , a younger, and smarter one OBAMA.

Regarding Polls...
So what CNN is trying hard NOT to say is this:
Obama is still winning, big time.

Oh, yeah, and his fundamentals are far better than that of his Democratic forebearers. (No matter how hard right Republican-funded outlier polls are overweighted.)

Still, should be fun watching those averages climb coming out of the Denver Convention!

Can't wait for that the first Presidential Debate. Obama "the Statesman" vs. McCain "Yells At Cloud".

McCain taking the low road – hell he's the one paving it.

I would have a rock star, celebrity, confident leader whom the millions adore than a grumpy old dirty miserable low low life.

wow the acid in these Obama fans!
These comments are something. I continue to be
surprised at how the obama fans are so willing to
cheer someone on who gives no specifics.
This isn't a fashion show people. It's a little more important
than that.

Why does McCain compare Obama to Britney and Paris? I don't get this. He isn't anything like those girls. What's next? A comparison image of Handbanana? He's more like that.

McCain can only operate on the "low road". I truly admire Barack Obama for always taking the hight road.
He is not your ordinary politician. I have yet to see him throw a low punch or come out swinging like his opponents have. He has shown us a new way to play the game.
Some times it frustrates me and I want to see him fight back and decry the lies.
He never does because he is a man of honor and his morals and judgment always shines thru. What a fantastic role model he is for all of us.

As gas prices continue to DROP across the country, when will the McCain campaign give appropriate credit to Obama? The McCain Campaign already seems so desperate, it is almost depressing.

Brandon Hillary PUMA 4Mc July 30th, 2008 6:35 pm ET
Dont let the obama kool aide drinking media do to Mc Cain what they did to Hillary..........McCain is Old School and Hillary is Old NEWS

****Come NOV they can play Checkers together****

Nice Allison... love it. what is sad though.. is that we all love our country.. but really despise what has become "politics"... Quite disgusting actually.

Kansas Republican...what world are you living in??!!!! After eight years of your party's shenanigans, blunders and lies, it time for you ALL to take a back seat. The rest of the country and the world are sick of it! Let the healing begin!

It's the same old story: More sour grapes from McCain and his supporters. Sad, just sad....but you've seen nothing yet! Wait until Obama is President-Elect in November, you'll really be sad and crying sour grapes! The thought of that very, very, very, very old man as President is frightening and quite disturbing. Perhaps he can run for President of AARP....hmmmmmm?

This guy Obama is such a turnoff. He was unpatriotic before he became patriotic.

He did not want to put the flagpin before he is trying to wrap himself in the American flag.

Has the audacity to fool a lot of people through practiced-by-the-mirror flowery oratory.

His sucess is American failure.

Poor McCain....these people on his staff have stripped him of all his dignity and he is just a shell of what he used to be. Archie Bunker was more personable.

I'm proud of Barack Obama and his team for this very effective response add. Not only did it point out the blatant desparation of McCain's "Celeb" add, but he went on to state his true stance on the issues that McCain has been trying to lie about. Bravo!

Just one more reason I will be voting Obama in November!

Hit them back, Barack. Do not be swiftboated by McShame

MC SHAME, MC OLD, MC BUSH, MC CHENEY, MC SMEARS, MC OLD DIRTY POLITICS.....ITS ABOUT TIME THAT U QUIT...YOU HAVE NO NEW MESSAGE FOR AMERICAN PPLE ALL YOU WANT IS RETAING BUSH TAX POLICIES.......ITS THE ECONOMY, STUPID! THAT IS THE #ONE ISSUE AFFECTING AMERICANS.. POLITICS OF FEAR WONT REDUCE THE PRICE OF GAS ON THE PUMP NOR WILL IT REDUCE THE COST OF COLLEGE EDUCATION. STICK TO REAL ISSUES AND TELL THE AMERICAN PPLE WHAT YOUR POLICIES ARE IN EDUCATION, ENERGY, ECONOMY ET.C...AT LEAST OBAMA HAS HAD A MESSAGE DELIVERED.
GO OBAMA! 08

Calling it 'low route' is polite and actually lifting McCain up. I've lost respect for that man. I am not angry – I just feel sorry for McCain .. 'Sorry' to see a man sink that low.

This is ridiculous. Yes, the ad produced by McCain is immature. However, need we pretend that this is the only negative ad out there, and that this season of campaigning has been on the high road? I beg to differ.

Also, wouldn't it be wise to link McCain's original ad relating to this story rather than only linking Obama's ad, in the spirit of bipartisanship?

To think I once worked for McCain. Maybe they put Romney in as the candidate. At least he's not going off the deep end. Uncle Fluffy's gone off the deep end. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

McCain has taken the low road.

Obama 08!

Oh how horrible to have a presidential candidate that people actually are excited about. Obama is to politics what Tiger Woods is to golf. I hated golf until tiger...now it's extremely entertaining and exciting. Politics was a BORE before Obama came along...now it's actually interesting.

Is this really the best John McCain can come up with? What the heck is his campaign thinking?

I want my president to have much more character than John McCain is displaying. To run a campaign at the highest level in the US SOLELY on putting down the other candidate is totally WEAK at best.

Right on to Allison in Mclean! Obama should run this as an ad.

Obama people are not sleeping. This is not swift boat in 2004 era. No fear , No shaking. Bring it on McSame and Obama will give you the dose of your medicine. McSame needs to be celebrity in nursing home.

Go Obama

All those planing on voting for the obama should come down and get a look at what those people have done for or to the city of New Orleans. There was mayor Dutch Morial, then there was mayor Barthalomew, then there ws mayor Mark morial ( dutch morials son) now we have mayor Ray Nagin (of : this will be a chocolate city fame) then there is represenative William Jefferson (with $90,000.00 in the freezer) cold cash. Now we have Derick Shepard under inditment, and the list goes on. And you people want to put one of them in the white House, what a sick disgusting bunch you must be.

this is the best they can do? Wow, Obama must be too young and fresh, because if they can't find anything substantial, they are in serious trouble.

Who we celebrity Mr. Hoover or Mr.Roovelt ,,people we have a choice ,,chose one.

I used to find McCain interesting and respectable. I have been appalled at not only how negative and snarky he has seemed lately, but particularly how often what he has said has been PROVABLY false, with sourcing from right or left media. Why would he approve multiple attacks that are outright lies?

I miss the old John McCain that I supported so strongly in 2000 when he first ran for president.

I do not say this because I can't handle the fact that politics often involves negative attacks. I say it because it is hypocritical of McCain to continue down this path, and I don't think it will help him in the end. He is going to rally his base, but lose his independents.

Will somebody please investigate whether McCain's support of big oil profits stems from the fact that his mother's family was connected to Oklahoma oil? That may be the reason he supports obtaining more drilling rights instead of drilling on the properties the oil companies already have leased. It seems he won't be satisfied until all of our environment is dotted with oil rigs. After two terms of the oily Bush clan draining our resources (both mineral and human, as well as financial), haven't we been bilked enough?

MAVERICK!!!

Obama has come into this campaign with a message that has genuine content. New ideas, ideas about the future, about changing the direction we are headed in. Some may not agree with all those ideas, but at least the content is there. And he has backed it up with his outstanding performance as the leader of his extremely effective campaign, and most recently, as a representative of the U.S. on the world stage.

McCain's campaign seems to be simply one of criticizing Obama, leveling personal accusations in a way that tries to paint an image about his character that is blatantly false. No new ideas in his message. No sense that he will work to solve, or that he even has any idea of how to solve, the horrific problems that the last 7 years have left us with. Just personal attack and inuendo.

It is clear to me who is taking the high road in this campaign, and who has the skills to deal with the complex problems of the coming decade. Again, you may not agree with all of his ideas, but Obama is a pragmatist who will indeed work for the solutions that we need.

If only Obama could be as smart as Paris Hilton.

Kansas Republican, what you'd REALLY like is for the Obama campaign to do like John Kerry, and not respond until it was too late. Not going to happen this time

Er, wait... being popular worldwide is a "bad thing?"

I guess that's the price you pay when the dumbest people in America support Bush PRECISELY because he's unpopular. And these people are apparently McCain supporters too.

This video represents the TRUTH as I see it! I don't care what you Obamaholics believe, say or do! We're all getting sick and tired of your god's flip-flopping, race bating, and talking about 'old'. Last I looked, Obama's is FAR from YOUNG!!! And Obama WANTS to be a SUPERSTAR!!!! If you cannot see that from his speeches and world tour I don't know what to say. All I will say is McCAIN! McCAIN! McCAIN! OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!! YES!!!!!

Hey Barack,

VP CLINTON

or you won't win: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Florida or Michigan.

Please please please I have a question
Can any one tell me any of McCain’s actual positions on helping the economy, helping seniors and the self employed obtain affordable healthcare. Oh any analysis on his intention to over turn roe v wade and subjugate American women to back alley abortions once again. how about equal pay for equal work...I know he says they need training, which is sexist, women have been in management and running companies for quite a while now, I believe they are actually more competent than men in alot of instances, just hardly paid what they are worth, McCain I guess thinks women are under trained and still need to earn their way.....hummm
will he ever talk about the issues that America is facing right now...all he and his campaign seem to do is complain about Obama, and the good things he is doing and motivating our citizens to do...yes make a change in your self so we can change our country for the better...

McCain 0
Obama 1

OK...where's my comment? What does one have to do to get something posted here? Are incorrect spelling, poor grammar, and name calling required? Do you have to submit a certain number of comments before you get something posted?

BOOOYAAAH!
In your face old man McCain.

Just tell me one thing in McCain's ad that is false? Is Obama not a celebrity? Does he not oppose offshore drilling? Will he not raise taxes on some portions fo the country?

Tell me Obomabots, what is false here?

McCain is so jeleaous of Obama right now it's laughable. Obama was a bit hit in the Mideast and Europe, drawing crowds up to 200,000 in Berlin. Meanwhile, McCain is back home thinking up stupid TV ads.

Say good night, John.

Very nice lets see if this ad gets as much free advertisment as the JM ad...I won't hold my breath...The quality of this ad alone puts JM to shame.

OBAMA '08

It was only a matter of time before McCain showed how old and how tired he really is...thankfully he has many, many, many, more months to keep showing what a "bush" league president he would make.

Here's a guy sellin' snake oil (all fluff 'n' no stuff) 'n' the media 'n' lemmings are buyin' it...hook, line 'n' sinker

The question is: do we want corporations controlling our government, or do we want our government controlling corporations? We have seen the results of 8 years of Bushonomic free market corporate governance and there's nothing "free" about it. The government regulates nothing. The corporations go wild, and when they collapse, the government bails them out with hundreds of billions of corporate welfare debt which our children and grandchildren
will have to pay back. Is Obama the answer? I sure hope so because this country will collapse completely if we have to endure another 8 years of McBushonomics.

Yes, the Celeb Obama is responsible for the poor state of the economy; the high gas prices; the Iraq war; the epidemic of home foreclosures that are a direct result of the policies of Bush and what was, until recently, a Republican controlled Congress. Senator Obama will also be responsible – unfortunately of course – for trouncing Senator McCain in the biggest landslide ever! I can't wait to see it happen...

Allison- Mclean, Va, to say that Cindy McCain has "done nothing with her life" is ridiculously unfair.

I'm not a McCain supporter, but there's no reason to trash Cindy McCain. She does take an active role in running her business, and she's been active in charitable causes for years. There is nothing to be gained from trashing her, and you don't know her anyway.

Let's take the HIGH ROAD, Obama supporters. Trashing CindyMc. doesn't help Obama.

Can we just stay with the "Real issues"! this is "totally Below-board" politics.................................................."We can do better, than this"!

Anyone voting republican this time either makes over 200,000 a year or is terminally ignorant.

Same old, same old from McCain. He has no ideas, so he fills up time telling us what Obama is saying.

If I want to hear what Obama is saying I'll listen to Obama; not through some guy who is showing the early effects of alzheimer's disease.

That's it, I'm convinced. You PUMA punks are just plain clueless... Talk about drinking the kool aid... Cool aid drinkers will believe anything, including how voting for McCain is somehow helping Hillary. You are all hypocrites.

If he speaks intelligently, he is arrogant, if he is confident, he is an elitist. If his speeches attracts a lot of people he is acting as if he is already president. What do the American people want, another IDIOT? Obama is an intelligent man who is no different from Bill Clinton in a lot of ways. He met with economists to talk about the issues WE are faced with and people have a problem with this. Personally, If he wins, he should be prepared to take over on day one. Americans need to educate themselves and be grateful that we finally have a candidate that will make us look good. I cringe every time George Bush speaks to world leaders, no, wait, I cringe every time he opens his mouth. McCain offers nothing new. I am waiting for him to detail his plans and he is spending his time focusing on Obama. Should he not be focusing on the issues we are facing everyday?

McCain is doing what all politician's do who are losing - he's attacking. It doesn't really matter that his ad is crap, he just needs to attack. It's his last hope.

kinda funny, but britney spears is a republican.

what else is new! McCain is afterall following in Bush's steps. He is no longer a so-called Maverick. He has been flip-flopping so much on major issues. He is going to self-destruct, so Dems sit back and enjoy!

I heard today on a Canadian radio program (CBC) that Oliver Stone has made a movie on George Bush...his earlier years. I am hoping that this movie will disspell some rumors, for example: that he Bush is not as stupid as he has presented himself over the past 6 years in the media, that he & the "Dick"(Cheney) are not really putting our neighbour into the toilet...economically speaking plus maybe the final scene in Oliver's movie is George Bush is going to be tried at the Hague for war crimes( as he is instrumental for killing over a million of innocent people; children, Elderly & women during these wars).

Regardless of which side you on; even his so call republican base can't stand him,because he DOESN'T know what he stands for he is all over the place.

That AD was on the same footing of high school.very strange attacking someone because he is popular; very strange.

And this FAKE CLAIM of NO SUBSTANCE.

PLEASE ADVICE John McCain to go to Barack SITE, he does LAY out HIS platform/ ISSUES which is quiet BOLD with a VISION heading into the 21st century.

On the other side McCain site deliver nothing but.. VOTE FOR ME or ELSE the TERRORIST WILL HIDE UNDER YOUR BED.

JUST fear . fear . fear . fear .

nothing is optimistic. its the tired same ole policies.

Obama's European Celebrity Tour showed the true side of Obama as well as his voting record. It was obvious he admires and desires the USA take up the European Socialism/Welfare State Agenda. Also Obama is Chicago Politics which is ultra liberal politics and is as screwed up integrity wise as Louisiana politics. Obama has MoveOn.org and othe 527's to do his bidding for being the smear campaign. The Swiftboaters' integrity is saintly compaired to these organizations.

The McCain campaign is SOOOO desperate... People are tired of this nonsense... He has no ideas, looks tired, can't speak well, can't remember what he says, and IMHO is not fit to be President of the US.

Remember Reagan's second term when "he couldn't recall" anything and he let his cronies run the show? That's what we have to look forward to, but worse!

I want someone who has the energy, intellect and judgement to be POTUS.

Obama 08!

No to offshore drilling is a legitimate point...just back it up with legitimate facts–unless we nationalize the revenues...that "stuff" goes to the highest bidder. How's that workin' for you now?

How's that workin' for you in 10 years with double the global demand? That's right–you're not "saving" a dime, we're putting a band-aid on a gash in our energy security, and we're not requiring the Oil companies to explore the 70 million acres they DO have rights to domestically, but are ignoring.

Taxes on electricity is a distortion of position–Obama has suggested that EVERY energy supplier be taxed higher based on the amount of damage they do to the environment...meaning...the carbon scrubbers they were SUPPOSED to install in 2001 (repealed by Bush and the 'pub Congress) NOW have to be installed in order to be in BASIC (not advanced) environmental compliance.

In 2005, incidents of childhood asthma within a 25 mile radius of NON compliant power plants was up...get this...1500% percent. NOW do you feel bad about higher taxes to do the right thing?

As for being an American abroad who draws crowds of curious admirers waving American flags...rather than throngs of protesters BURNING America flags...I can't honestly say that a little "celebrity" bothers me in our potential President.

McCain is a battered, doddering shell of the man who ran honorably in 2000, and the sooner we all recognize this, the quicker we can MAYBE get the country on the right track again.

McCain is an idiot and anybody voting for him is an idiot. Childish ad. McCain is getting worse and worse.

Mr McCain is allowing his heroic past to be lowered to this?! How sad, because this will be what he is remembered for. Now he is very pitiful and desperate. I will always remember John McCain for what he was, an honorable, brave man. How sad for this man.

Apparently if the Republican smear machine can't find any actual dirt on the opposition candidate, they'll either make stuff up (like when they said that Obama didn't care enough to visit the troops in Germany) or engage in childish insults like this ad. But more than anything else, all it does is make McCain look mean, petty and a little desperate. It's like this supposedly heroic figure turns out to be just another Karl Rove stooge.

This man must not want to be president!

Right on, Allison! McCain's misstep of reminding us all how much his wife is like an old Paris Hilton is interesting, indeed. But Cindy McCain's astoundingly flat affect and apparent void intellect, are probably due to the drug problem. It also explains how someone rolling in money as she is, would steal prescription drugs from children in dire medical need of them. Clearly, she has terrible judgment and that continues, with the little "forgot to pay my taxes" issue. Sounds like she needs needs to go to rehab stat.

McCain only supports offshore oil drilling because it looks like someone's doing something about gas prices. but ANYone with any common sense knows that opening up offshore drilling won't produce any more oil for years; so gas prices will still be high.

the secret is that we need to reduce our demand for oil which is Obama's plan.

This reminds me of when Bush #41 went off about rap music, making him look like such an old fart while Bill Clinton was playing sax on Arsinio Hall.

I am waiting for the media to pound John MCcrazy for all his lies , senior moments, and just plain old crazy.

Time for America to rise up and take back this once great country. You can continue to blame others, or you can make one choice for change.

I wonder what Obama's friend and fund raiser Tony Rezko is thinking about in his prison cell? mabe he's thinking If Obama looses to McCain and I don't talk I'll never be pardoned.

Whether you lean politically towards Obama or McCain, the McCain ad is objectively ridiculous. Here are some brain-dead bozos, and they are very popular. Here is Barack Obama, who is also very popular. Therefore Obama is a brain-dead bozo. Oh, and add the obligatory tax and energy policy reference so you can insincerely claim it was an ad of substance. Nice old-school political touch. Any candidate that "approves of this ad" is unfit to be president. Either he is confused by basic logical fallacies (Some A are T, Some B are T, All A are V, so All B are V) or he thinks we are too stupid to know we are being insulted. I will not vote for someone who calls us all idiots

I think most of the political ads are ridiculous but Jeanne Moos hit a low point when she wasted all of our time reporting on McCain's shoes. I would never vote for McCain for President. Never. But, the man is entitled to buy $520 shoes. So what? We all know his wife is worth zillions and he should dress to maintain that level of social status when he is out and about. Please stop wasting my time with the analysis of shoes!

OMG i love that McCain is going to get slaughtered. I'm waiting to see his response in the debates when they point out that mr military has lower ratings than obama with every major veterans organization.

John McCain has taken another lesson from the Bush family. It is the politics of sleaze. John McCain will now begin the narrative of the negative. His handlers think that the best way to support McCain is to go negative on Obama. Wrong, Senator McCain. All this proves is that McCain is morally bankrupt and is willing to go the way of the Bush family when it comes to competing with ones political opponents. How hard could it be for McCain to remember that the Bush family orchestrated the attack against McCain during one presidential primary campaign that claimed that McCain was the father of a child born without benefit of marriage? Barack Obama will continue to defend himself as he did when Hilary Clinton attacked him. Barack won the Democratic primary campaign despite the best efforts of the Clinton attack machine. My belief and hope is that he will do so again and prevail against the attack machine coming from McCain and will be the next President of the United States.

So much for Straight Talk MCbush is a di crace to the American Flag.

It seems that John McCain is trying to paint Barack Obama as a celebrity, while he is just a regular guy, in his $520.00 Salvatore Ferragamo shoes. Yeah, right!

McCain's spokesperson–all sweet innocence–protests that the ad is only stating the truth about Obama as a "celebrity" who stands for tax increases and against off-shore oil drilling. No context–except the addition of the bad girls, Spears and Hilton, to spice up the message. Give us a break, McCain. How stupid do you think we are about politics and politicians. The ad appeals to those whose minds are already set against Obama and nobody else. We who are tilting toward Obama are encouraged to go the whole way by McCain jerk-off ads.

Why aren't people alarmed by McCain's actions lately? Something is wrong!

Shut up McCain! What have you really accomplished from your 30 years in the Senate?

You're just looking and feeling tired right now and have no other recourse than to hit below the belt!

Shame on You!!

Obama for President '08

Dems and Reps do the same thing to each other.

Both are annoying and take this so-called "low road."

It's funny reading how everyone thinks it's ONLY one side and not the other...

McCain is looking so desperate.

Can we just have this election now, so we can get Bush & his cronies out and let the change begin.

I'm just tired of all this cr@p.

Obama/Biden.

Funny ad that speaks the truth. But Allison- Mclean, Va you should be ashamed by your own stupidity to say those things about Cindy McCain – she is generous, donates her time and money to many good causes. M.Obama does't come close to Cindy.

Sorry, but ANYBODY, Dem or Repug, talking about less taxes is not living in the real world. Face it, bush's war with tax cuts on the side, has left this country bankrupt! We have a long road ahead and we need to face up to the fact that there aren't going to be any easy or painless answers.

The Obama ad comparing him to spears and the other moron are
right on. Obama has never had a real job, he has never done anything
of real substance, he is a windbag like the other two as well.
Any working man who has had a real job and paid bills and taken
responsibility for his actions has to trade in his manhood if he votes for
Obama. If you plan on voting for Obama man go ahead and put on a
dress on the way to the voting booth.

omg mccain, have u lost it completely???

this is a election not a game show,, start showin your strength or get out of it,,,,,,,, these tht you said are just words and angry words,, goes to prove your anger ,ummmmmm not wht america wants,,,, grow up mccain,, geezzz you dont impress anyone with what you are doin here,,,, is that all you have to go on???? omg, u are sick,, RETIRES ALREADY OK MCCAIN??????

McCain is ALL WRONG! Obama is actually more like Tom Cruise than Paris Hilton or Britney Spears. Arrogant, delusional (thinks he's already President, tries out his new "seal"), ties to a controversial "church", freezes out any media or anyone with enough guts to pin him down on an issue and keep him there, and has a gaggle of breathless followers hanging on to his every word like he's the Second Coming. Sound familiar.... Scientologists? I don't like this ad, I think the Republicans could do better. McCain could do better, but Obama will never get my vote. And all these people who say he's "hot"? The only thing hot about Obama is the continuous whoosh of hot air as he changes directions every ten minutes.

Andy:

Stop calling John McCain OLD. Just wait until you get to be a senior in America and see how you're treated. Let me tell you it's not going to be fun.

GO GET 'EM MCCAIN

PUMA

McWarmonger will draft male and FEMALE this time. Mark my word.

Barack Obama says the same old thing all the time...

I'm going to fight for change...

(What change? What's going to change?)

The economy is bad and McCain is going to continue failed policies of Bush. That's why I'm fighting for President...so I can make change!

Ok. How? We've heard enough friggin spoutin! You want my vote? What the hell are you gonna change? What the hell are you gonna do differently...talk more? Are you gonna talk us into economic prosperity? Are you gonna say "No terrorists...you're being naughty...go stand in the corner...are we gonna all sit around a campfire together and sing kumbahyah? Barack...get with it...we get it...you want change...now let's see some action...let's see a plan...talk is cheap...produce something already you friggin moron!

I think I would prefer a president that the world knows is smart and a go getter, not a tired old war monger lier as the world knows McCain to be.

Same old politics is correct.. McCain is doing what so many of us are exceedingly tired of...cut-throat attack politics. His age is showing.

The world didn't even notic him – poor littly spoiled baby.

WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH – look at me – I know how to win wars

He know how to START wars people

McCain, lower than a snake.

Same old politics is absolutely right! If anyone lives like Hollywood starlet is the McCains. How many properties do they own? And how much does Cindy McCain charge on her credit card each and every month? The latest figure is $ 100,000 and what about the $ 800,000 condo they bought their 19 year old daughter in Phoenix. I don't see that Obama was brought up with any of these horrendous values.
And to his campaign people, these ads ARE the low road. They are a complete turn off to anyone who has not made up their mind. If the only way McCain can win to is to bash Obama's character, then who wants him as a president. Not me, his ad campaign is disgusting and so is he. What happened to "running a respectful campaign." Another lie from McCain just like the many others. What an ego.

This is why I don't watch TV.

It's all political hot air. Everything each candidate is doing has been done before.

Political Marketing 101. Shut off your TV.

LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD, GOD BLESS YOU OBAMA.

I can hardly wait until they begin their debates. Then we will see Obama become THE LEADER that he is destined to be. John McCain will not be able to go toe to toe with Obama.

SAD!
They deny that comparing him to Paris and Britney is not low???

Then why do it? Just a public service annoucement?

Are we really thrat dumb?

It's hilarious to see McCain unravel!

This kind of ad is soooooooooooo childish!!!!! Who's writing this stuff? And McCain is crazy to approve it! He's green with envy of Obama's youth. He's a senior citizen and can't stand it.

McCain makes me want to throw shoes at my tv.

What an anal cavity.

Let him go live with his sugar mommy in one of their 8 mega-mansions and get his "stuck in the 60s" I win wars a55 off my tv.

I despise the warmonger.

How dare that Barack Obama be popular with the citizens of the world! For shame.

It's about time wwe smacked Grampy in the mouth. Keep hammering away!

Not only is Cindy more like Paris Hilton, but there's McCain's daughter being a celebrity in Glamour magazine. McSurge really is clueless and worse, so is his campagin (it'd be really nice to see you publish one of my comments CNN a/k/a Fox News).

Republican NursingHome Committe????

It sounds to me like the truth hits close to home and Obama is crying as usual. " WAAAAAAA!!! Mc Cain's being mean to me, WAAAAAAAAA", and all you suckers are falling right in line feeling bad for poor Obama. Put down the kool-aid and open your eyes!

Brandon Hillary,

The precise problem is that the media does not do this for John McCain. Look at how he gets away with basic mistakes: mixing Sunnis and Shiites, and saying that Iraq and Pakistan border each other.
And this is what all of his "foreign policy experience" got him?

@ Brandon the PUMA

lol…oh Brandon….Hillary is not a part of this topic, so leave your PUMA fantasies of victim Hillary at the door. You are just as bitter and old sounding as your rebound candidate Mr MaGoo. You just have to infect every topic like some germ.

Like any jilted lover, you'll just fall out of love with John 'Drill and Surge" McCain when you realize how high school you are being and how far away from your values he is. But, hey its a free country do what you like.
Your PUMA threats are meaningless yet entertaining. Be a man, Brandon and help pay Hillary's debts. She needs you and you abndoned her.
Obama/Kaine or Obama/Biden

Cindy McCain = Pairs

McCain can only issue negetive PERSONAL ads because he has no platform to issue. His first stage dementia can only repeat IRAQ-SURGE-IRAQ-SURGE. He can,t remember from on moment to the next what he is talking about and admittley doesn,t know economics, what else can he do? He is green with envy at the YOUNG, VISIONARY, All he can offer is the same as we have had for the last eight years. We are at the bottom now, another eight or four years of
republication goverment , wewill never recover.

McCain has to deplete his campaign's fund before he gets PAC money but not used wisely. McCain shots himself on the foot again and again like always. He has no idea he is running for the highest office. Non relevant subjects are poping up in his campaign. Same old stuff (Bushism), any questions?

You Go Barack ... Great Ad !!
BARACK THE VOTE !!!

John McCain is so not with it that he has no real way to combat Obama's intelligence and popularity except to attack the very traits that set Obama so apart from him. The trouble with that strategy is that it only works with Idiots whose only response is "Yeah, man, youse is right!"

I should would like the media to research the candidates
when they LIE and reported it.

i thought obama was above using ads like this. i gues he lied again hmmm seems to be a habit, wonder what other habits he still has, been sking lately obama?

*****************************************************

I saw the McCain ad and it was disgraceful!

Blaming Obama for the high price of gas????

We do NOT need this garbage in the White House again!!!!!

*****************************************************

Negative campaigning is attacking your opponent deliberately with the sole intent of making him (or her) look bad. Explain to me how McCain's ad wasn't negative campaigning...

This Is A Good Ad From The Obama Camp! Mccain Looks As Old As His Ideas! I Hope Mccain Runs Out Of Moneydoing All These Negative Ads!

Paris Hilton ? your wife the crypt keeper looks like a younger paris hilton hide the DRUGS.

To:
Brandon Hillary PUMA 4Mc – nice to throw the "Hussein" in there, it really makes your argument seem rational and well-reasoned. Not to mention the lunacy of any HRC supporter that votes for McCain, someone who stands opposite Clinton on every major issue.

Kansas Republican – the line about "Jackson, Rangel and Farakahn" doesn't make you look like a bigot at all, does it?

Same old politics is something Obama is quite aware of – he is afterall a disciple of the crooked Chicago political machine where they use every means possible (short of hiring a hit man) to remove or smear their opponents. His becomming a senator unopposed was an awesome example of great political manuevering – merely get all of your opponents administratively disqualified and then the people have noone else to vote for.

Do you really expect the McCain to take the high road? This recent conduct is typical of losers. McCain's back is against the wall and no one is paying him any attention. He's down in the polls. Obama, always takes the high road. I think it's a little too late for McCain to learn such manners. He should still try to learn how to log onto the internet.

Mccain should be ashamed. This is a dirty old man's trick! He lied to the American people by saying he will not enagage in negative politics! Unfortunately.....MCCAIN IS MCSAME OLD POLITICS!!!!
GROW UP MCCAIN

I hope that the Obama people have done their homework. So, far, they have hung in there but they are loosing ground in the polls. With all of the money the Obama campaing has to spend, I should think that thety would be way out in front by at leat 20 points. Instead, they keep loosing ground. The Dems have lost too many Hillary supporters. He needs to get beyond and above his ego and choose Hillary his VP to save this election. It is for the common good, not just Obama's ego. He and we need Hillary on this ticket. Wihtout her, no matter how much money he spends he will loose this election for all of us. We must urge him to do the right thing.

I am so dissapointed with McCain. I used to like him, but his disgusting tactics against Obama are disheartning.
My advice to McCain- play good. No stupid figure pointing. Whatever happened to mutual respect!!!
Also...Comparing to Britney and Paris???- what was McCain thinking!!?????

The McCain campaign just got owned by the Dems. Game, set, match.

As an ad man myself, I can't believe the MSM is running these for free in their news...

Just look at the picture of the 'Low Road' ad up above with McCain's picture and the slogan: that size ad would get about a buck a click anywhere's else ( and CNN gets a lot of clicks these days...) but the MSM puts it out there no charge...
I don't get it...

But hey, if it's free !

It's Time for Obama to take off the gloves Mcshellschock is down dirty in the mud. there is no honor in telling lies to win election.

I can't believe this off-shore drilling issue is even a conversation. It's as dumb as the gas tax holiday or the invasion of Iraq, for that matter. Action for the sake of action (tail wagging dog) is not the way to run a country. At least Obama has the spine to stand up against as short-sighted recommendation like driling off of our coasts. McCain's stance was totally predictable.

McCain compaign = Rove compaign
McCain administration = Bush administration

Congrats to Obama for not playing dirty. McCain's judgement is clearly lacking to a rational human being.

Lets see Rev Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Flager and now Ludacris…….Let me take a wild guess "That is not the Ludacris I know"

Obama claims he has 11 of the racists songs on his IPOD and that he is very talented. The pattern of Obama's friends all seem to have one thing in common.

I am probably just reading into all of his friends to much……I am sure they are all just misunderstood.

I am sorry I forgot the honorable Louie Farrakhan….How did that happen now the list of people Obama admires is in place. what kind of bus do you think Ludacris will enjoy being thrown under

Funny to see people get so worked up over any attack of his highness Mr. B.H.Obama...
What a joke... These comments just make him look more like Paris Hilton... What are you all sticking up for, why can't it simply be brushed off the shoulder...
Lame... Maybe there should be a "speech" about it...

I dont blame Obama for striking back. he has been pretty cordial the past couple of weeks. While McCain attacked and trashed him during his Middle East and Europe tour. Obama showed due respect by not attacking McCain or Bush during that trip.

McCain has no program. He has no Charisma. He only has his Negativity to show for. There will soon be a backlash against this guy.

After years of playing up Swift Boat ads. After years of fluffing McCain. After years of paying the salary of the likes of Glenn Beck. CNN should dedicate itself to the truth this time out. Call lies lies. Do not let the policies of Rove/Bush/Cheney continue.

Obama has no substance! He is always trying to play the race card. He should go back to Europe.

Great ad! John McCain keeps showing that he's put "self" rather than "country" first. Unlike McCain's ads this contained no false or misleading information. Way to stay above the fray!!

isn't obamas response politics of old also

Lets see Rev Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Flager and now Ludacris…….Let me take a wild guess "That is not the Ludacris I know"

Obama claims he has 11 of the racists songs on his IPOD and that he is very talented. The pattern of Obama's friends all seem to have one thing in common.

I am probably just reading into all of his friends to much……I am sure they are all just misunderstood

In the end, when November comes, that old timer will have my vote .... and contrary to the believe of some cnn talking heads, he has a good shot at getting over 60% of the Latino votes.

I see that the Republican propaganda machine must be circulating an e-mail that says we can get oil from new offshore drilling to the consumers in two years.

I have even seen "Obamalism" say that "we have already proven" this whole two year plan.

Even John McCain admitted that the impact of new offshore drilling wouldn't be felt for a decade.

Now all of a sudden it is two years?

To those voters that are undecided: Just think about what it says about a candidate's position on certain issues when his campaign has to propagandize the campaign and try to fool voters.

Gas tax holiday? Ridiculous idea that benefits oil companies.

Offshore drilling? Ridiculous idea that benfits oil companies.

Iraq war? Ridiculous idea that benefits oil companies.

How many of these do I have to list before people understand what is going on here?

I do not see how anyone can claim that McCain will protect American values. What values are you talking about? He has not held a firm position on anything except the surge. (We'll ignore that he has tacitly accepted Obama's 16 month time table, or is it a time horizon.) He has flipped on taxes and only recently embraced the Environment. He used to be against torture, but now is not. He talks about responsibility, but has not cast a vote since April 6th. He has promised to run an honorable campaign, but has not done so yet. I do not know what he stands for, except the surge in an ill-advised war. I want someone to defend McCain's ideas and show why they are superior to Obama's not just tear down a man whom you do not like.

I am so heartily sick of the McCain ads. Its is rather sad and pathetic.

Also, to the PUMA's on the board – just s few things to think about if John McCain becomes President:

1. Chances of us going to war with Iran – 100%
2. Chances of our troops staying in Iraq for an indefinite time – 100%
3. A larger deficit – 100%
4. Women losing their right to have an abortion – 100%
5. Women losing their right to use contraception (there a draft memo in HHS that would make the most popular methods of contraception (the pill, the patch, the shot, the ring, the IUD, and emergency contraception) a form of abortion).

Would I have liked to see Hillary win – yes. However, I can see the bigger picture. By voting for John McCain, you are condemning thousands to misery and death. Just something to think about.

We need change....
Sorry McCain, Old people don't change,
Ask my dad

I like McCain, but he's been a maverick for his whole career and this is an example of where it's hurting him.

I'm sure he loves the Britney/Paris ad, as they reflect the whining going on in the McCain campaign plane. But McCain needs some cooler heads to say, "Senator, I know that imbalance is unfair [though the matter is really debatable], but we need to stay on message. Let's talk about how we're going to get the economy humming again."

Yep, they don't call him McSame for nothing. He's pathetic!

McCain? Lets be real......Obama doesn't put streaming video, of which he could, of him singing Barber-Ann (reference to Iran) or any of his other mis-steps, mis-speaks, etc. Doesn't McCain know that he's just making himself look more stupid? Will someone please tell him he can't compete. The sad truth is that if Obama unleashed what he could on McCain, he'd look like he was attacking the poor OLD guy. Give me a break; when is this election going to get fair..

Obama NOW

I wish someone would point out that the demand for oil has only gone up about 15% over the past 10 years and the cost has gone up over 600%. I think it should be important to point out that we are paying what the market will bear for oil. Nothing more, nothing less. We need more competition for oil, not more oil.
I would earnestly like to see the media dig into these issues and shows us some substance. Inform America and perhaps we can get more traction with Americans and get some real action from our politicians. They do what they need to in order to get elected. We drill for oil here and we'll just be paying the oilers here the same price for oil that we are paying OPEC. That doesn't help us folks that are down the ladder a few rungs.
C'mon America, let's get informed instead of regurgitating politico spew. I have nothing against the energy industry. I do however take exception to being milked like one of the energy industries personal cash cows.

At least McCain is calling him out with his own mouth. Obama just has his puppets talk for him...weak.

While I respect Obama for attempting to make this a campaign focused on the issues, McCain is going to be just as negative for the next 98 days. I'd like to see Obama push back a little bit. Although he will probably take the high road.

McCain thinks like the typical neo cons, that we are too stupid to decide for ourselves, they must decide for us in our own best interest. McCain keeps saying the same things over and over again, hoping that sooner or later, we'll believe it.

Funny how Libs like to quote McCain "gaffes." Here are a few Obama "gaffes":

- In May 2008, Obama indicated he could see dead people when he said: “On this Memorial Day as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience here today . . . "
- In June 2008, Obama falsely claimed his father served In World War II.
- On May 13, Obama mistakenly said that Arabic translators deployed to Iraq were needed in Afghanistan, when Afghans don't even speak Arabic.
- On May 9, Obama claimed to have visited 57 states.
- On March 29, Obama said he did not want his daughters to be "Punished With A Baby."
- In May 2008, Obama confused Iran with Israel, saying that U.S. should "Act Forcefully And Appropriately On Any Attack Against Iran, Nuclear Or Otherwise"
- In February 2008, Obama said he was running for "Commander Of Chief"
- In October 2007, Obama said he would tell Iran "You Should Develop A Nuclear Weapon"
- In September 2007, Obama referred to 120 degree heat In Iraq as 20 degree heat:
- In May 2008, Obama claimed his uncle helped liberate Auschwitz.
- Obama falsely claims his parents got together "Because Of What Happened In Selma," Alabama In 1965 - four years after he was born.
- In June 2008, Obama referred to an "inhaler" as a "breathalyzer" and then a "inhalator" – twice.
- In September 2006, Obama said that there were 18 years between 1978 and 2006.

All really silly stuff on both sides . . . but the Obamabots only focus on those by McCain. Pitiful!

I'd say that McCain really is trying to be like Obama he is studying his every move,he can not seem to get on track whats up with him?If he could get his head on straight he might say something intelligent.

I bet Obama has 12 of these already lined up lol

Obama 1
McWhatever 0

John McCain is losing his bearings

McCain is grasping at straws. This is only going to hurt him. Who is his campaign manager a democrat? I hope he keeps it up. Bush3 is really scarry.

B. Hussein Obama . . . What a coward.

Well, Benjamin (Repub), SD...haven't you heard McCain's newest weekly "message?" Today, he unveiled his "Country First!" sound byte.

Let's see how much traction this one gets before it's abandoned for something else (something a little flashier or "in the moment")!

I also like how McCain's "Celeb" ad puts our presidential vote to us as a choice between a celebrity or "an American hero." I get that he's implying that Obama is just a famous face, but just who is the hero in this contest? Certainly NOT McCain. He may "know how to win a war," but it seems to me a rather difficult task to take on from a POW camp.

About time. Now lets go on the offensive against McSame and tell everybody he is an old grouch.

Why would John McCain try to use Britney Spears, that standard bearer for good clean American living, to denigrate Barack Obama? In an interview of Britney Spears by Tucker Carlson of CNN on Wednesday, September 3, 2003, Britney tells of how ‘she has faith in our president and every decision he makes, and that we should just support him’. Why would John McCain do this to someone with whom he stood shoulder-to-shoulder in their blind support of Bush’s Iraq blunder?

First, they tried to label Obama as "unpatriotic" because he didn't wear a lapel pin like John. Next they tried to label him as "arrogant", which is Republican-speak for "uppidity", as in a black man who won't stay where he belongs. Now, they're trying to label him as "blond"...

Wouldn't you think if there was ANYTHING good to say about McCain, that the Republicans would be advertising that instead of this "name calling" they've resorted to?

I'm not sure which scares me more – the Republican's desperation to continue King George's monarchy, or the number of idiots willing to accept this childish behavior from someone who wants to "lead" America...

Let's be real. Does McCain think we would compare Barack to Paris and Brit? Wow, he is out of tune. I wish McCain would tell us how he plans on balancing the budget in 4 years while fighting the world and not having a clear plan on the economy. The economy is horrible John Bush McCain. Of course, you don't know that. But we the American people all know someone who has been laid off recently. That's the economy we live in today. We need change to survive! That's why all of these polls are wrong. WE WILL VOTE AND WE WILL VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA. Jeb Bush can't stop us.

John McCain practices the "old politics" because he is so old! That's all he knows.

Kansas Republican...surely you are not calling Obama a crybaby or a whiner are you?? that is really a joke considering how much WHINING McOld has been doing...even the media knows that all he does is complain...like the little grumpy old man that he is...

Obama's camp should have had images of DINOSAURS walking the background of McCains picture...they are about the same age!!!

Kansas repub,Obama is not going to let old man mccain say what he wants without fighting back.8 years of BUSH AND CHENEY along with your repubs is enough !!!!

Way to discredit yourself again PUMA shills. Requst that the campaign stand and policies and then threaten to vote for the guy with little to no policy and what he does offer directly contradicts Hillary.

You idiots gets worse by the day.

In his constant belitting of what those who favor his opponent stand for, McCain would rather lose half a nation than lose an election.

McCain is pretty old school - now he's grasping at straws to knock Obama down - pitiful man.

This really is politics at its worst. But what should we expect from the Republicans? Remember, these are the people who ran the infamous "Playboy mansion/call me" ad against a Black Democratic candidate in the Tennessee Senate race two years ago. Unfortunately, those who are controlling the GOP have little to say constructively about the issues most Americans are concerned about. What does this ad say about the GOP strategy? That is why they have to engage in gutter politics.

In the interest of credibility, keep in mind, that the GOP has controlled the White House for 8 years and that is how we got to $4 gas. And John McCain has been the leading congressional proponent of a cap-and-trade carbon bill that would tax electricity.

If Americans want politics and Washington to change, then we have to stand up and say that enough is enough.

Say no to fear vote and give hope a chance.

Why did Obama camp wait so long. Same OLD should be boldened. I can't wait to see an ad where Cindy is putting a diaper on John.

John McCain just had a town hall meeting yesterday in NV and today in CO.

It was absolutely pathetic. All this guy says is "my friends I know how to fix that" but then he gives not even the slightiest solutions to the problem he was asked about.

Wake up America! Not again, not again!

YES WE CAN!

McLiar. You lied to your wife about your age and she did the same to you so why wouldn't you lie to the American people MY FRIEND? It's in your nature to do it I guess.

It really is all down-hill for McCain. This is just as pathetic as it gets, problem is, I know its only going to get worse.

Kansas Republican:

I think it's your guy that can't take any licks, and talk about crying and sarcasm.... Lets throw whinning in the mix, and McCain has perfected it all to an art form. How's that Kool-aid working for ya, buddy?

Give me a break!!!

Kansas Republican:

So obviously you are upset about McCain whining when Obama got a lot of media coverage overseas? And you have to be upset that McCain changes his mind every day and then denies ever saying what was caught on tape? I know for sure you are livid that McCain said he would run a clean campaign ON THE ISSUES but now has decided the only way to possibly win, is to attack anything that comes out of Obama's mouth, even when McCain himself agrees some of them are good ideas. I will also join you in your outrage over McCain's outright lies regarding Obama.
What a president he would make! (sarcasm)

John McCain is more like John McKerry. Actually comparing him to John Kerry is mean to Kerry. At least Kerry didn't change on a position and then back again all in one week! I understand changing your mind. Everyone changes their mind sometimes, but to say one thing and then reverse yourself 1 or 2 days later... and then back AGAIN, just screams political opportunist!

Nothing more pathetic than an old man trying to be hip by throwing out the names of pop celebrities. McCain the maverick is dead, and McCain the sell out is sorry to look at.

It will back fire on him like it back fired on hilliary. Let's see who'll have the last laugh.

That McCain add really makes me ill. I thought he was going to be different. . . but he's just taking the same low road as the other Republican slime. The Republicans don't deserve the presidency, nor a single house or Senate seat.

This is sad. First McCain called Obama's health care plan "Hillarycare." Then he compared Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. I thought this is going to be a "respectful campaign focused on issues," as McCain once said. What has happened to the straight-talking McCain?

Yes the picture makes McCain look older but do you think the seniors didn't take notice? Seems to me they vote more consistently then any other block. I wonder if they took offense. .. Perhaps as much as blacks would had a picture of Obama made him appear to be "more black." They're in it now, take the gloves off. Women and children first! I love this time of year!

I heard Obama defeated terrorism with one of his speeches....

At least Obama's being honest... It's pretty clear.

Obama '08

I'm so disappointed in McCain. He has simply been LAME. He needs to fire this team and start talking about what he is going to do. This reactionary, disjointed and negative campaigning is pathetic and not even worth the good money I'm sure is paying for it.

Ludicrous! Obama is the quintessential politician. The arrogant, obfuscating Obama wouldn't even visit troops abroad without his press entourage. If it isn't politically expedient, don't expect to hear from Obama.

Senator McCain is an American hero ready to be president with all the experience, gravitas, wisdom, knowledge, judgment and common sense necessary for the job!

This former Democrat has had it with the narcissistic Obama!

Kansas Republican – Why do you have to be a racist? Why? Fine, I understand Obama i ahead but do you have to stoop so low and do you have to degrade yourself and act like a pig and be a racist to win votes? to convince people?

Why Kansas republican? Why do you republicans have to attach someone's integrity, character, morale, race, religion?

Why? Why? I would like to know why?
You make me sick, i swear.

Oops McCain did it again, for a man who has been in politics for the past 30years I can see McCain cannot resist his nature, the nature of Washington style of running campaigns.

It was expected, we all knew that it was bound to happen, so much for running as clean campaign. Well I guess McCain is right, he is the one with the experience, experience of dirty smearing campaigning

Take his licks without crying? This is the race for president of the United States not some elementary school play ground.

Funny he should use Paris Hilton and Briney Spears. They and their families are doubtlessly voting for McCain . Spears family are white souther baptists from Louisiana who do you think they've been voting for all these years? The Hiltons are old money billionaires do you really think they would vote for someone who supports labor unions and higher taxes on the wealthy?
McCain is ridiculous.

i think McCain is lacking ideas...

Obama has no new ideas, rather he offers to repeat failed policies of previous tax and spend liberals and socialists. If the country is so eager for "change", then why can't he pull away in the polls? Even Dukakis had a larger lead at this point. Obviously it is too early to know for certain but, despite the hype and cult of persanality, I believe he will crash and burn in November leaving many pundits and media types again wondering, "Why?"

"With gas prices soaring, Barack Obama says no to offshore drilling"

As well as anyone should be. We need to end our dependence on ALL oil, not just foreign oil. John McCain and his "good ole boy" oil buddies are so out of touch with reality and REAL American people.

love the mccain picture. looks like one of those zombies in return of the living dead.

hilarious.

Any man, woman or child that believes John McCain is the answer is extremely diluted. Even to hear his supporters, they sound like biggoted fools stuck in the 19th century. Obama's integity is steadfast and unwavering. Even when the world has no problem embracing him, and his neighbors at home attacking him. Obama stays on track and shows that he has no fear, even in the valley. Go Get em Obama!

OBAMA/KANE 08

Awww...come on CNN...

Not a bad ad considering how quickly they put it together.

I get awfully tired of hearing the same type of narration in these political commercials, though. Can't the campaigns be a bit more creative in how their ads are voice-acted?

Heaven forbid the world actually LIKE the American President... that really would be awful. I mean, with worldwide peace, what would Republicans do? Twiddle their thumbs?

Let the games begin! It's an election people.

Thank God Barack is going to get with those clowns with prompt responses to their lies. We the (real) people can no longer stand John McCain with his Carl Rove political ads.

Just like George W.

Obama does think of himself as a rock star, he seems to love the adoring crowds. He told fellow democrats this week, he's our hope, what arrogance. He never says anything of substance, just happy talk, talk that his actions never mirror. He should get a job in Hollywood, he might be qualified for that.

Fabulous response! It's so refreshing to see consistently positive messages from a campaign like Obama's. And it's so desperate to see negative ads like McCain's (seriously? Vote for me because I'm less popular?!?) And it's true that the McCain camp has taken the low road over and over, while Obama has retained his dignity.

you go bo!no more republican garbage campaigns!

Same Old politics by the Same Old man .....Hit HIM LOW!!!

The statement that Obama will raise taxes on electricity is a DOWNRIGHT LIE. Where is the man of honor that McCain pretends to be? Americans were lied to by the Bush – haven't we had enough?

John McBush screws up again.

Wait until McCain releases the ad showing Obama telling everyone the energy crisis would go away if they would just put air in their tires. Can you imagine if this guy actually got into office? God help us all if that happens!!!!!

McCain is just scared of losing. Using gas prices to pander to the uneducated...awesome. Bush himself told the public that opening up offshore drilling is symbolic and would not likely reduce gas prices in the next decade.

With so many key issues facing our country and the world around us, who has time for these ridiculous ads and accusations? Let's get on with serious discussions of solutions that we need to address soon!

WE ALL REMEMBER WHAT HONOR & HONESTY ARE.

MCNOTHING HAS NOT PRACTICED NEITHER IN ALL

THE YEARS OF "EXPERIENCE" IN HIS PUBLIC

OR HIS PERSONAL LIFE. HE IS A GERIATRIC BUSH.

McCain has become a very sad Angry OLD Man.

I would be ashamed to be a part of the PUMA Alliance. Dear PUMA's, I will pray for you. Kanas Republican, I will pary for you too. Let us have a president in which we all can be proud. Obama 2008 & 2012.

Peace and Love

Previously, I have had great respect for McCain because he did not indulge in dirty political campaign tactics as did his opponent George W Bush when he defeated McCain in the 2000 primary election. Lately his ads have insenuated untruths and near slander statements. It is a sad day when a person previously held in high esteem by both parties has sunk to such levels.
I'm sure his new staff person Smith is behind these muck racking strategies. Is Smith vying to be the new CarI Rove – the spinner of smut? I regret that McCain allows this type of attacks. Sad for America - the mighty has fallen.

Cindy McCain and Pairs Hilton...Now thats a match Both are blond "Barbies" that have done absoluely nothing with their lives except to sit pretty, make millions and do absoluely nothing in the form of charities. COMPARE THAT!

OBAMA IN 2008!!!

The McCain Ad really is pathetic. Let's see – the free world wants a change from the Republican nightmare, and shows it by the hundred thousands and McCain's response is to link Obama to Britney Spears?

Hmm. What is that old lawyer ideal?

When the facts are against you.....

The only thing that frightens me is the troglodytes who think that if the rest of the world likes Obama, then something is wrong with him.

Well, look where those troglodytes have us now...

JDF

Oh brother Roland, Borger and Brown just shut up you sound like idiots. McCain's add was hysterical get over it and even Obama compared himself to that bimbo Hilton so he is juvenille to.

If Senator McCain cannot see the difference between Senator Obama and Britany Spears/Paris Hilton, then he is seriously in trouble with his mental capabilities.

Senator Obama is popular... like JFK was...like MLK Jr. was... like Bobby Kennedy was.... like Bill Clinton was....

Both of these Senators have lived a life of privilege while they have been in the Senate. It is beneath the office to start to compare a fellow senator to two sleaxy movie stars.

Britany and Paris should SUE McCain's campain.

is the "OLD" word for McWar policies or for McDirty himself ??

The McCain camp is diffinatly getting deperate....the old coot should be ashamed of himself. Obama is looking like the right choice afterall! My vote will be Obama since McCain and the boys are showing their "true colors" this past month. McCain is looking like he is too old!

Kansas Republican- I'm ashamed to live in the same state. He's not playing the victim, he's returning fire- I expect no less of a President. If your guy is going to win, our guy's going to make him work for it. Why don't you take a trip to the FactCheck.org website- McCain has thrown away any integrity he may have had.

The main thing that needs to be said about McCain's "Celeb" ad is that it is JUVENILE......and STUPID. There are serious issues confronting the country, and tons of differences between the candidates that are important....and McCain's campaign is putting out lame ads that say "Nyah, nyah, you're like Britney Spears, nyah, nyah!" It's just childish and pathetic. Is this the best they can do?

THE FACTS ARE THE FACTS. O.B. IS NOTHING BUT A BIG MEDIA CLOWN. ITS MORE THAN A ELECTION ,ITS A BIG CIRCUS. O.B. IS JUST A BIG JOKE.

HOW IS IT THAT MCSHAME CONTINUES TO CLAIM

HONOR, WHEN DOING NOTHING BUT THE DISHONORABLE,

AND HAS FOR HIS ENTIRE POLITICAL CAREER.

WE GUESS IT'S A MCBUSH, BUSH-CHANEY THING.

Kansas republican: are you aware that your candidate is probably wearing a pamper a. because he is old and b. because he cries more than a baby?!?!? Let's be serious! Mccain cried all last week!!!

@Kansas Republican

lol you mean 'take it like a man'? Like the rest of the GOP whining about Obama's coverage, McC{ompl}ain can't handle it.

And please, sarcasm is mother's milk to conservatives. That, and hyperbole.

I saw part of this McCain ad on "fair, balanced" FoxNews today while sitting in a doctor's office. What's the point of calling Obama "the biggest celebrity in the world"? He probably is, and how is calling attention to it going to benefit McCain? It's only going to highlight how much more people are interested in Obama than they are in McCain. Believe me, McCain would be happy as a pig in you-know-what to be half as celebrated as Obama is.

I sure am tired of these negative attacks by the Republicans. That is all they know how to do-scare people. They aren't going to win this time. I am from AZ and believe me, McCain will be lucky to get his own state!! His reported experience hasn't done much for AZ. Wake up America! It is better to vote for better judgement then that type of experience. It is time to get rid of that stupid war that is costing billions each month and wrecking our economy. By the way, all these republican complaints about how Obama will raise our taxes? He could raise them 100% and we still would have it cheaper then the war going on. I will see you at the Democratic Convention next month.

I just saw the ad on a political show and in the ad...after he condemns mccains nonsense....he ends the ad with things he stands for. I wonder what ad mccain is gonna send out now. smh

YES WE CAN!

MCSENILE HAS EARNED ALL THE CONTEMPT & DISGUST

WE CAN MUSTER FOR ANY POLITICAL FIGURE INCLUDING

BUSH & CHANEY. MCSLEAZO TALKS THE HONOR & WALKS

THE SAME SLEAZY KARL ROVE TACTICS THAT ELECTED

A BUSH THREE TIMES. AND HAS REVERSED EVERY STAND

OF NOT ONLY THE VOTERS OF HIS STATE, BUT HIS OWN.

HE IS NOTHING BUT A DISHONORABLE, DISHONEST,

EGOTISTICAL, IGNORANT SHADY, GREEDY, BIGOT.

Obama: “I’ve got one or two things to say about change . . . like the change we must change . . . to the change we hold dear. . . I really like change . . . Have I made myself clear?”

WELL - NO! WELL - MAYBE - like no one really understands what your change is about except "change."

We're listening, Obama. . . Surprise us with something new and substantive.

Tell it like it is: McCain's desperate, dirty campaign is a loser's game.

OBAMA 08

BOB DOLE BOB DOLE BOB DOLE BOB DOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All McCain needs is the stage fall, and the pencil.

Yes good response but still Obama needs to stay humble – state that he has to fight for evry vote and work hard. I am a supporter but lately he seems to think its about him.
Remember – humble and confident and not taking anythig for granted.

READ MY LIPS: Yes... John McCain Senator Barack Obama is ready, willing and able TO LEAD.

McCain's ad doesn't even deserve a response. These are the types of things that a weak candidate has to do to even the odds. He's grabbing at straws. Enough said, let's stick to the issues. Off-shore oil drilling is years from producing relief. The gas tax holiday was a horrible idea.

Has it crossed the mind of any McCain supporters that Obama's popularity is at least partly due to the fact that he's an eloquent speaker, clear thinker and seemingly hard working American?

I think it's fair to judge Obama on his policies, but the name calling and labeling is just ignorant and foolish.

McCain offers only criticism, repeated false personal attacks against Obama and campaign ads that lie about Obama. Where is the man of honor that he claims to be? Where are the positive statements about what he will do as president to turn this country around?

And Obama's practicing old and dirty Chicago politics.

McCain is a BIG FAILURE!

If he cant take the heat he needs to stay out of the kitchen. Barack obama, that is.

McCain You Have No Dignity

Kansas Republican,

It's not crying when you set the record straight. It's called honesty, We need more of it.

The Obama campaign's response to the lastest nasty McCain ad is good, but it does not strike back at the McCain campaign as hard as I would like.

The Republicans are nothing if not predictable. These tactics worked twice so they can be excused if they try again. It will be interesting if the American voter can focus long enough to know that McCain accomplished nothing in the 25 years he has been in the Senate so I question if he will address the dozens of promises he says he will accomplish as President.
He promises to stop ear marks but did he mention it in his 25 years of experience?
He promises to end the Iraq war but has he made any effort in the 6 years it has been going on except to say 'stay the course" .. "Success is just around the corner".

Obama definitely doesn't know the first thing about playing the game of politics. All you loser Obama zombies better convince him to get a thicker skin if he's going to even remotely get through this campaign season. If he thinks it's bad now, just wait till September.

I wonder if they had that ad in waiting knowing full well that McCain would at some point dip his hand into Rove-&-Bush's Bag of Hate and Fear!

Man, the McCain camp is already soo desperate. Read these words carefully. John McCain has ZERO chance...Unless the slime machine tries to steal a 3rd election.

Better Same Old Politics than Change just for the sake of Change.

Change a word that can mean anything and nothing . Instead of trying to denigrade McCain why doesn't Obama speak about the change he refers to.

Because the only change we see Obama talking about are all of Hillary R. Clinton ideas, solutions and policies.
That is a form of change, change your non-issues policies for Clinton's.
That is the change we believe you accomplished.

You are a made man Obama, made from the research and propaganda from Axelrod and Plouffe company. You, Obama are their experiment and it will self-implode very shortly.

Obama will never be acknowleded as the legitimate democratic nominee.

It looks as though Obama is stuck on the 49th percentile and that is not change, it is stagnation

The Republican slime machine is starting to crank it out. This year it will fail because McCain is inspiring to no one.

vote no for mccaine vote no for the same 8 years.
are you better off today ? that will be answered in november

FIRED UP , CHANGE COMING

OBAMA 08

McCain Just Because Your NOT The "the biggest celebrity in the world," doesn't mean your going to be a better President!

You Are So Jealous and A Liar and show very poor judgement in running these ads. You Make Our Politics here in America appear
sophomoric!

That's all knows how to do. Attack, attack, attack, drill, drill, drill. He doesn't have any new iniative for the welfare of the American people. What an old bag of ideas.

The comments left by McCain indicate the same dirty Republican attack dog tactics which should alert any Anerican about the dishonesty of this Party after 8 years of corruption that has destroyed this country. McCain stands for the same dishonesty and supports the corporations that have ruined the economy with outsourcing of US jobs, supports illegal immigration reform? , wants to continue the mess in Iraq, and disregards the public rage over the mess and lost stature the US has suffered under Bush, who is supporting him for President..... Obama, even with his perceived inexperience and views is a breath of fresh air in a monoxized political environment, and I'd rather see a positive potential change than another fall into a black hole we cannot survive under another Republican- frankly the whole partty should be replaced.

Pathetic... While it is not surprising that McCain is using the mud slinging rhetoric that many under-dogs desperately cling to, but it is especially sad that he has to use images of troubled young women, such as Britney Spears, in his attack. Perhaps if he returned to some of his past political substance and stopped trying to parallel Obama with a rock star, people would listen. As it is now, it is simply sad and pathetic, I think many expected more from Senator McCain...

obama has yet to shown why he should be taken seriously as a leader. he should go work as a governor or hold a responsible job first.
being a community organizer and state legislator does not prepare you for an executive position. he's strictly another chicago pol on the make.

THAT SHOULD SAY THE SCUM BAG. AND WE OFFER

MCSLEAZO'S LATEST ADD AS INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE.

MCMORON HA NOTHING TO OFFER OTHER THAN THE

SAME WE HAVE WITH BUSH. WHAT DOES HE DO? SAME

DISGUSTING TACTICS CARL ROVE USED TO GET BUSH ELECTED.

Brandon Hillary PUMA 4Mc, get over it your candidate lost, stop being bitter and a whiner like your loser choice, Hillary Clinton.

I thought MCain's ad was right on. He's another celebrity with no real accomplishments and no real clue.

Kansas Repubilcan – "Without Sarcasm?" Have you been watching your candidate? He sits there and smiles this scary smile as he attacks Obama right and left.

And did you watch Obama with the leaders he sat down with last week? He DID look presidential. I am so hopeful that I can finally be proud of my President again.

McCain on the other hand looks pitiful and scary. I do have to admit that's a tough combination to pull off.

Mc Same is acting like an old man grasping straws! What happened to the High Road? Stick to the Issues!!! guess he will stop at nothing!

CNN: POST THIS COMMENT!!!

Pelosi, Obama, Reid , And Congress = PORC

The McGrumpy team needs to chill.

A swing state voter...

Obama doth protest too much. He should know that we the people can see through all these slams, scams and artificial presidential trips to the world-wide stage. Same with McCain's ads. Just because something is OLD doesn't make it obsolete. If O would shut his mouth, nobody would remember the Britney/Paris parallel beyond today. However, it will surely now go into the weekend.

ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET AWAY FROM DIRTY POLITICS.

Karadzic is having a war crime trial, I wonder when are we going to start the same with the whole "Bush Administration" and by the way including Mccain for invading a soverign nation, A nation that has nothing to do with 9 / 11. Obama did oppose the war from the begining and this one reason is enough to vote for Obama,

Obama 08

I know who I am voting for:

NONE OF THE ABOVE !

What? Obama said he would raise taxes ? OMG " Fake Fainting " falling to the Ground, bump head on countertop , hit floor , both legs a jerking , and health care went up = TYPICAL OBAMA SUPPORTER

If he doesn't want to be seen this way then he shouldn't have put himself out there this way in the first place. I love McCain's ad for the fact that it's real. Obama got noticed first through social networks and then through chanting. He did that himself, he played the popularity card, no one did it to him.

I love the add about Obama. Looks pretty close to the truth to me. Just another empty headed starlet (or star) that tthinks only about themselves and will do or say anything they want to make themselves look good. Obama is every bit as shallow as the celebs he's depicted with.

Go John MCCAIN!

Mr. McCain, I still refer to you as "Mister". But from showing a semblance of decency, you have been steadily declining..... from pathetic to more and more pathetic. The fact that you are resorting to sheer nastiness is a clear admission that you cannot be president except by appealing to the basest sentiments of human nature. And, sadly there is no shortage of that in the USA. After all, is that not how Bush got into office – twice? And now you want to be McSame/Bush?

Mclame is obviously targeting the least informed voters i.e off-shore, drilling, gas tax holiday and baseless attacks. Same crap from the Karl Rove playbook. I'm hoping the Americans have wised up enough to not fall for these rediculous tactics again but unfortunetely it doesn't seem that way for many people.

McCain's latest ad strongly reaffirms his lack of direction. He has nothing left he can argue so he has to go negative. The American people will see John McCain for what he actually is - an old man who can offer nothing new for America. His policies and proposals are joined at the hip to the Bush policies and proposals - and look at what the last eight years of those policies have done to us.
We don't buy it anymore, John. Start talking about your own ideas for change in America. Be positive, don't keep going negative. At least that way, in November, when you lose to Obama, you will be able to hold your head high.

Old politics-Old man-Old brain. Just plain too old for the job.

I can't berlieve how quiet CNN has been about the McCain Obama Attacks. Sen. McCain is acting Like A child.
Isn't Weird That CNN doesn't even have the video.

If Obama was caring on like this for 2 weeks, The CNN blogs would be crazy.

Thanks – about time to come back and hit him hard. I cannot believe that McCain has stumped this low that he cannot do ads that address his position of the issues that people wants answer for. By doing the type of negative ads that he has been doing anti Obama lets everyone know that he has no idea how and why to address them.

Arrogant – Obama is a mere kid in comparison to McCain. McCain an old arrogant man that feels that just to be in his present is an honor for the people. He is so arrogant that he could not be seen with a wife that had any physical problems – so he divorce his first wife and married a woman 20+ years younger – so he could be perceived as a desireable catch. GIVE ME OBAMA any day.

So Obama is still playing the "victim" role whenever someone compares him or his policies (kind of like he did with Hillary). I don't consider it a "negative" ad when candidates compare their policies. How else are people going to know where these candidates stand.

After all the flip flops from the primaries, it looks like several of Obama's policies are the same as John McCain's (who has always been a Maverick centrist). I have to say that I prefer McCain's energy plan, though (he thinks we will need to drill for oil, build nuclear plants, and develop clean coal burning facilities, along with our "green" sources of wind, solar, and geothermal to become totally energy independent). I agree we need to be using all sources. Obama thinks we can get along with only the "green" sources, but I don't think that is a reality.

I've also noticed that Obama does not seem to have a plan to reduce the national debt, although McCain feels that we must be prepared to do so, unless we want to leave the burden to our grand-children and great-grand-children.

For those who like to criticize Cindy McCain for the drug problem she had (due to a car accident back injury), this problem was short term and she did go to rehab. I don't hear McCain deriding Obama for his cocaine habit, so people should get over this. Also, Ms. McCain has been a philanthropist for years, working with ONE and Doctor's Without Borders. She seems to be a shy person and has never asked to be in the spotlight because of her charity work. She has also never asked for a dime in government grants, as all the money has been her own. She also adopted a baby of color before it was "fashionable" to do so (like with Madonna and Angela Jolie). I don't know what Michelle Obama has done, but if she had given half as much time to charity work, then I'm sure we would have heard about it by now (along with photo ops and film clips).

Interesting how Obama launches a negative ad to complain about McCain's negative ads. They're both guilty of it!

McCain is no different than Bush – a CROOK! America wake up!! McCain is totally jealous of Obama and the only thing he can do is try to destroy him! McCain this will back fire! You'll see!

Obama for President – Yes We Can!!!

Love it – high meets the low.
Obama 08.

I like McCain but he is 8 years too late. I am a republican but to vote in a man who is over 70 years old is nuts. How many US 500 companies have CEO over 70. Or would you be happy to be in a jumbo jet flying across the pacific with a captain that is that old, regardless of experience. There is a reason why retirement is 65 years. Why is it that a lot of my Republican mates are looking forward to McCain. Is the US of A not bigger than the largest 500 company? What jumbo jet is larger than the good old USA. Right now I am leaning towards Obama because of McCain’s age. Chronological age gives him the advantage. I wish Romney was elected to be the nominee. In America, the buck ends with the president. Think about this folks.

McCain insults us all by treating us like morons. Worse, he treats our democracy as something to be manipulated and mauled for his own personal gain.

McCain would rather destroy our country than lose this election.

guess what repugnants? this same old tired tactic won't work this time...the people are going to come out in unprecedented numbers and totally refute the politics of desparation

Obama continues to show he is not qualified to be POTUS. Please do the research people you are to barrow a phrase from Obama and Malcolm X being bamboozled and hoodwinked.

Is this an attempt to appeal to the younger voters? Because if it is, it's pretty pathetic. Paris and Britney are sooooooo last year. If he wanted to go after the young'uns, he should've compared Obama to Heidi Montag and Kim Kardashian. Oh wait, Heidi has already "endorse" McCain, so he should have no problem courting the idiot vote.

I'm a 64 year old republican and after this administration will not vote republican. NOW I'm soooo ashamed of the republican party, their ads, their scare tackticks and everything they are doing. Obama is trying to run a clean election, above board and without scare tackticks but the truth and what will get us OUT of the mess Bush got us into. Go Obama!! Peace is patriotic!

If the shoe fits Obama ....
well you know where it goes....

Well Obama's policies so far sound like same old politics as usual to. He hasn't done anything yet to symbol he will be a change in Washington either. His speech's mean nothing now.

Hmmm...
Paris Hilton and Britney Spears

vs.

Ludicrous!

Is this what this election is boiling down to???

It's sad that Paris and Britney have more experience and are more successful at their jobs than Obama is in the job he is seeking. Maybe they can give him some pointers.

GOP= GRUMPY OLD PEOPLE! John McCain= GO AWAY PLEASE!

Obama: spoiled little rich boy. If he doesn't like what McCain says, he claims it's racism, or bigotry, or "old politics"... anything else than admit the truth: he's a no-experience senator full of everything you want to hear, but nothing to back it up with. Reminds me of a used-car salesman...

Ha,ha,ha!

Obama's trip last week has gotten the best of McSame and camp!

Even a lot the media writers are sooooo disappointed that Obama looked and ACTED like a president should!

The 200,000 people in Germany is a nightmare for many people...McSame and most of the media.

Does anybody even take McCain seriously anymore? I think all of his credibility has gone right out the window. You would think that someone with all of his experience would actually be able to talk about some of his own ideas, instead of only criticizing Obama's ideas. Maybe the MSM should start asking McCain what he's for, not just what he's against.

OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD!!!

Typical Republican strategy; run a negative campaign, use personal attacks agains thier opponents, bring up wedge issues, create fear, lie and deceive the American public. This is because they could never win by running an honest campaign based on the real important issues that affect Americans everyday. Unfortunately, many Americans buy into their crap. Bush was elected a second term.

GIVE ONLY WHAT YOU RECIEVE

oN SECOND THOUGHT, GIVE THE PERUBS MAJOR HELL LIKE THEY DUMP ON THE OTHERS OVER THE YEARS

McCain and the GOP are desperate.

Once again, NObama and his camp show what try cry babies they are. If you're going to run for the office of POTUS, do us all a favor and grow a thicker skin and quit complaining when people point out your weaknesses. NObama and his folks continue to act as if they live in some fairytale land and aren't supposed to be held to the same standards as everyone else.

At least Bill and Hilary Clinton can take a joke or a stab at them without getting all childish and pointing fingers. NObama is a total joke.

It's good to see a response, but the American public has been brainwashed pretty severely. Its up to us to communicate to our own circles that the republicans have destroyed this country and are now resorting to their only alternative of attacking. We've got to get everyone to turn off the Fox propaganda machine and start thinking for themselves. We can do this if enough of us are committed. But it's not going to happen by itself. Help out, tell someone!

McCain is what we need in 2008.

Obama neve4 fresident!

I am a 60 year old voter and would have voted for McCain in 2000 but he lost all my respect when he kissed the Right Wing and Bush, particularly after the rumors the RNC spread about him having an illigimate black baby. Talk about doing ANYTHING to get elected. I am really excited that I have lived through the racially charged years during the 50's and 60's and our realization of the ideals of equality might finally be partially realized with the election of an African-American as President

Paris and Britney are dumb as Mccain so it makes sense for them to work togather. obama 08!!!

Huffington post is showing how charlie Crist does not agree with McCain's attack ads.

Cannot belive that ad. McCain is such a looser... He has some cheek to compare Obama with the likes of Brtiney and Paris, especially given the IQ and basic common sense points he definately has over McCain. God save this country if we elect someone this pathetic to lead us. Wish we could send him home right now, than listen to such garbage in the coming months.

Prior to now I had some respect for his military record, now he is proving hmself worse than Bush, who atleast had the savvy to come up with better attack ads.

It's about time Obama!

McSame's camp is pathic! An ad with Obama and two white women?

Why not black women or men?

McCain is just using what worked so well for Republicans for so long; smear and innuendo. Wake up McCain, It's 2008 not 1998. Most Americans are on to you, and SICK of it.

Obama shold not respond to these trite ads. the fact is If Mccain and his staff believe he is as popular,then he should fold his wheelchair and go back to Arizona becuase Britney's fan base is bigger than any politicians.

Alright CNN, now will you air Obama's ad (for free) as often as you aired McCain's?

This is McCain's most ridiculous cry for attention yet, but it gives CNN the opportunity to "report" about the news it cares most about: celebrity gossip. If only McCain had released an ad comparing Obama to Anna Nicole Smith.... That would have generated at least two months of cable news coverage.

The McCain campaign is pathetic, and CNN, do yourself a favor and stop being complicit.

Repeating the mistakes of the past, at least this time we have an agent of change to challenge the GOP. It is time for Republicans to ask themselves if their party really stands for what the believe, or are they going to follow blindly along yet again, straight to the slaughter.

What happened to the McCain promise to not do negative attack ads? Flipped on that as well I guess.

He will say anything to get elected. Lying Pandering Gambling Adultering Big oil Puppet. Not this time!

Obama 08 Democrats forever!

what a HATER!!!

All you Obama bandwagon people just amaze me. Voting for a guy with no track record, no experience, no relevance. Nice.

Stupid democrats.

McWhinner gets more pathetic with the old Rowe politics of the past.

It won't work this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked Obama's comment today when he said McCain's ads have nothing positive to say about the Senator himself just criticism of Senator Obama. The campaign's paid criticisms of Obama are generally untrue and could be considered more true of McCain than Obama especially when they said Obama is not for energy independence and that Obama does not support Veterans. Look in the mirror John McCain.

I think Obama has countered McCains negative ads with a great counter punch. It is not smearing McCain, yet it is factual. I wonder when I read these blog comments by some people what is it that makes people so easily swayed to think that four more years of these same divide American people experts is a good thing. If all we were voting for was for the one who gets to replace the aging Supreme Court judges, then the choice is clear.

McBush AD's are not only Nasty Lies but thay are incredibly Lame as well.

Same Old School Politics!! Same FAILED policies. Same as McBsuh. No thanks McSame. A good ad & completely true

McCain has no substance when it comes to the issues, so he has to rely on stupid comparsions. Maybe if he had a real idea or solution, he could stand on the merits of the issue, not falling back on these insane criticisms.

mccain and his cronies are grasping at straws. this "tucker" whatever his name – the spokesman- is a goof that needs a life!

That is great! Now they should continuously run the Bush "Mission Accomplished"ad and show McCain hugging Bush. Cue Patty Duke theme

Obama, hit Mccain hard and let the American People know if they elect Mccain it will be other Bush term and this country will be in a bigger mess No to Mccain.

Kansas Republican

What goes around comes around!

Everything from McCain is OLD. Even that Old joke of his about 'parlament is drunk.......' that he borrowed from Regan, needs change.

Finally, some honesty about Nobama. Such an empty suit.

This guy is like a marshmallow. All hot air and no substance.

Go McCain!

Bradon Hillary: Not only do you not make sense, you can't get it together enough to use a spell-checker (let alone know enough to use correct grammar, syntax or capitalization). Methinks you were never a Hillary supporter ... just another desperate, panicked McBush supporter in disguise ....

Well Sleepy McLame is makeing slow progress. At least he did not compare Obama to 1960's celebrities like Ann Margaret and Gina Lolabrigida. (DR. NO )

Nice to see you post the link to McSame's ad but not Barack's. Not bias here.

Let me state that I am not a USA American, but of the Americas, thus I would like to make a statement regarding the current campaign for President of the USA.

Comment/s:
I find that it seems a policy of the Republicans/Republican Party to constantly campaign, not on a rivals weakness, but try to (and like in the past years) win because of painting the the other person as a liar or not trustworthy. Mr McCain is constantly gripeing and whining about some-thing and tries anything to avert attention from his rival Obama, instead of forging ahead with his plans and or proposals.

One more penny's worth is that I do not understand how the Republicans can always come out and state in no uncertain circumstance that they are the only ones that can keep America safe from Terrorists etc. Are they the only people that graduated from the College of Terror or what? I personally think that it is time for the Democrats to stand toe to toe with them on ths subject, because it is my belief that they made a mess of going to war in Irac and changed the lives of the people in the Caribbean basin, at least; It made travelling and cost of living, driving importing goods from the USA very difficult and as I said costly.

I believe that Obama will or should win because he has the right idea of having personal talks with the nations involved and not the automatic threat of WAR, War drives a wedge between other nations that did not even take part in it. WAR cost a lot of money, a lot of your taxpayers money that should be spent at home. If I were an American I would not vote for a Republican, at least not in 2000 or 2008.

Nuff Said;

Thanks for the privalege
Waldo

yes, Kansas Republican, he should just stop being so uppity and standing up for himself and all that crazy stuff.

good job guys! I like it!

Good ad

Finally its about time the gloves are off. Stick to the facts Mccain not nonsense.

Hey, why is Cindy Mccain always with Mccain? Dis she make any money form the sale of Budwieser to the Belgiums?..How will she profit?

Wait for crying Chris Crockers Leave Britney alone response! I hope Paris and Briteny sue McCain's sorry campaign. While McCain plays the celebrity card, today my single twenty something daughter's health insurance premium increased to $450 month. I filled up my gas tank $80 and my workplace announced layoffs.

[b]Gary of El Centro, Ca said:

….and that picture of McCain in the response ad makes him look 100 years old. Kudos to the Obama team![/b]

Honestly Gary, if McCain looks like he's "100 years old", just what does Obama look like?

Mr McGoo will just keep on going blindly around hitting everything
and everyone!!! Mostly he will be messing himself up!!!!

The Rethuglicans and the Bush Crime Family want to destroy the oceans, Alaska and the environment with pushing more use of fossil fuels. All you have to do is go to any large city in the US and everyone is gagging from all the air pollution. Just look at all the dirty air we breathe everyday. The brown dirty air is worse then 2nd hand cigarette smoke.

The oil companies have a strangle hold on the government and its environmental polices. I choose clean air over lower gas prices any day of the week.

Obama/Biden 08/12

What is amazing to me is that McCain has some of the same Rove-ites on his staff that perpetrated Bush's telephone "push-poll" against MCain in South Carolina in 2000!

For those who are not aware of this well-known fact – they called 10s of thousands of people and posed as tele-pollsters, asking something to this affect – "Does it bother you that John McCain has fathered an illegitamte black child?" This not so veiled reference was to McCain's naturally dark-skinned adopted Bangladeshi son.

It was heinous but highly-effective and it was the death knell for McCain's campaign – which delivered W to the White House (notwithstanding Florida...)

That was the moment that McCain should have responded as Obama has done here. Had he done so, he might have been President already. The fact that he didn't, showed his trade-off of courage for membership to the Bush bandwagon. He is still suffering from that one "error in judgment". Go-bama...

Of course Senator Obama, his campaign and his bleeding heart, misguided supporters are going to strike back at Senator McCain’s ad. What choices do they have? The truth is, I myself, am not looking for a celebrity as my president. Other than his celebrity status and Teflon cover, Senator Obama just does not cut it as presidential material.

Senator Obama's supporter can call Senator McCain what ever they want, as well as insult his wife and supporters, however, he's a true American hero. Not an empty rhetorical suit. If Senator Obama was really a Democratic leader, he would ask his misguided campaigners and supporters to show some respect for Senator McCain and especially to his wife. After all, it’s the true Democratic way!

Yet, the Senator and his campaign and supporters will crucify any voter that dares to disagree with them. Threats and intimidation works only on some voters, not on all of us.

Did I mention I am a life-long Democrat?

I think McCain should be careful about what he wishes for. He has been complaining about the media coverage toward Obama, but with all the coverage about Obama, they have not covered all of his gaffes. So if the media does start covering him more, they will then complain about them covering all of his gaffes.

Lets see, Paris Hilton wears five hundred dollar Italian shoes. John McRich wears five hundred dollar Farragamo Italian designer shoes.
Paris Hilton, Multi millionaire heiress. John McElite, married to multi millionaire heiress. So help me out here. What does the Black Guy from the South Side of Chicago have in common with Paris Hilton ?

@Kansas Republican

"Is America ready for four years of a president who is always a "victim" like Bo's friends Jackson, Rangel and Farakahn?"

Are we ready for him??? Darn right we are! In fact, we're counting the days. You better get ready for him, too.

None of the Republican's petty digs, none of the innuendo or insult or fault finding, makes a dent on public opinion. This is especially true since it is all negative, all the time. Nothing constructive or useful.

If you guys got any new ideas, we are waiting to hear them.

Hit them on the heads! Substance always trumps personal attacks.

Wake up, Team McCain! This campaign run is pathetic at best. Instead of a smear tactic, tell us what you plan to do to help the people of the U.S. get through our tough economic times, our failing healthcase system, our decline in job due to Globalization by Corporations, to name a few. Smearing your the other guy is buying you anything. People want to hear what you have to offer, or just get out.

McCain is not acting his age with these negative ads. Actually, he is acting rather childish or a better description is desperate.

Not this Time!

Not this Time

These old tactics will not work!

Not this Time!

I'm tired of the negative
I'm tired of my our friends dying over seas
I'm tired of not being able to afford anything

As a voter that sits squarely in the middle of the two parties I think it is finally time for this county to change. You figure it out.

Hey Brandon, YOU SELLOUT!!!!!! YOU WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR 4 MORE YEARS OF BUSH,HIGH GAS PRICES,WAR, MESSED UP ECONOMY($420 TRILLION IN DEBT),THAN TO COME TOGETHER AS ONE AND DEFEAT MCBUSH??? ALL BECAUSE YOUR LADY LOST IN THE PRIMARY? GET REAL,ALL THIS PUMA CRAP IS GOING TO DO NOTHING BUT KEEP US SEPARATED,IF HILLARY WOULD HAVE WON, I WOULD BE BEHIND HER 100%!!!! YOU SHOULD BE TOO.LET IT GO!!!!!

**

another good ad would be McSame saying - "you should walk a mile in my shoes" .. and then show his $520.00 shoes..

Most people would like an opportunity to wear expensive shoes like an elitist McBush..

**

Don't be SOFT.

I will make my July contribution NOW

Brandon Hillary PUMA 4Mc

Your right we need to hope that the next 4 years ruins America so Hillary will be voted in.......... err wait a minute that sounds very anti-American. Only Bin Laden shares your "PUMA" views of wanting more bad days ahead for America.

All Americans UNITE and get rid of PUMA... the newest anti-American organization!

Republicans are in denial. They are going to lose big time.
Good-bye GOP. You really screwed up our Nation.

this old fool is an idiot! notice today as he was speaking ,his whole message consisted of what obama says and wants. he has NO message to even talk about! obama is definately leading the conversations these days. and what is this bull about McSame lovin nancy palosi????!!! dam i can not even stand her john.

obama camp does not know how to soluation.... they likes to mocking everyone as they enjoy to.... McCain, Green party and Nader made list of goal for USA to improvement..... where is Obama's plan? not really, just copycat.

John McCain has offered no policies or solutions to earn this presidency. He has spent all of his precious time attacking Obama and speaking at town hall meetings of hand picked audiences. He is simply unoriginal, uninspiring and unintelligent. How on earth could people want this guy for president.
As a concerned Canadian neighbour, I've watched your country go down the toilet these past 7 years and I've heard the derision and disdain expressed about your supremely arrogant and stupid current president.
How on earth can Americans not leap at the chance to elect someone like Obama, intelligent, thoughtful, positive, full of ideas and inspiring to the rest of the world. You'd be idiots (again) to elect another Republican warmongering, wealth pandering, hate filled attack dog old geezer like McCain.

Republicans are in denial. They are going to lose big time. Good by GOP. You really screwed up our Nation.

Finally!!

i'm a Hillary supporter, and I wanna hear what Obama say to convinced me to vote for him. I need a debate already. I'm tired of the media's polls, and same old stories. Interview them about policies already. 1-on-1

Did Brittney and Paris make this ad before or after they had their drugs for the day ? Perhaps, brittney should be more concerned about her children.

Mccain looks like a looser!!!!!

Good for John–about time someone called this guy on his qualifications–Obama and surrogates have smeared McCain from the start–I, for one, am glad he is fighting back! This is not a nation of rich people –we identify with someone who wants to keep America great–not tear it down like Obama! McCain 2008

So true....John McCain said he didnt want a smear campaign but thats just what he has done.
Hes not a man of his word.
Why is it that the republicans always attack the candidate their running against?
They misconstrue what one says and attack attack attack.....Not very christian if you ask me....And they always use their religion as a means to get votes.....but dont act christ like in the process.
More like a wolf in sheeps clothing.
McCain feels he needs to try to make the Obama look bad to make himself look better.

The truth always comes to light...........Obama is the bright star.

It should have been a clip of the melting face in 'Raider of the Lost Ark.'

John McCain has lost his mind.. he knows he is an old goat and can not win no matter what he does.

I guess he'll say he can walk on water and McCain can't...because believe I think they guy really things he is a god.

"Oil rose more than $4 a barrel on Wednesday after U.S. government data showed an unexpected drop in gasoline stocks as suppliers facing weak consumer demand cut production and imports."

Well, there it is, folks. We slow down and drive less, the inventory of gasoline increases, prices drop, and the refineries cut production. That in turn bumps the price of oil, which in turn will drive prices up.

WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE??! And where are the Republicans who should be investigating this blatant price manipulation? Oh, that's right: They, and McCain, are in the pockets of the oil barons.

McCain may win. I mean, it's not good to get to ahead of yourself. There are voters out there who are angry and afraid. That is not a good combination for November.

Obama should be tough, but chill a little.

Brandon, here's a news flash for ya, it wasn't the media who ruined Hil-LIAR-y she did it to HERSELF!!!

P.S. Shouldn't you be contributing to your messiah to get her failed campaign out of debt rather than here spouting your irrelevant gibberish.

McCain better be careful. When you use the likeness of a celebrity w/o their written consent, you can be sued!!! He will have the Hiltons after him for every penny his campaign has!!! What were his advisors thinking??

For people wanting Obama to respond to McCain sooner; his campaign wanted the focus on his trip not on dealing with McCain's sniping which is probably one of the things McCain hoped for...

now he's back!!

@Kansas Republican: rather than being petty and partisan, let's be real for a second, here. Instead of thinking of "Obummer" as a "victim," how about you think of those ads as some bully talking trash in the school yard. And you know what bully's eventually get? A pop in the head and put in their place. That's what happened with these rebuttal ads.

By the way, KR, I'm in the middle of this whole blue-red state mess. I think both guys are genuinely good. I'm just not approving of the BS tactics the GOP is using right now. We got real problems to deal with in this country - and name calling isn't solving anything.

I say BOTH candidates go back to their corners, touch gloves, and come back fighting without hitting below the belt. STICK TO THE ISSUES!

Poor Obama – did the media or other candidate dare to say something bad – but – true about the golden boy????
What a FRAUD – get over it obama – you are not qualified and the American people will never elect you to lead our country.

Kansas Republican:

"If Obama really wants to appear "presidential," he should take his licks without crying and throw his punches without sarcasm."

Uh-huh. Would that be just like McCain, who has been crying about Obama's success and putting up ad after ad loaded with sarcasm?

And the same old Obama who cant decide decisively on anything. It's strange, I can be seeing something he says with my own eyes and hearing it with my own ears but he says, no your not really hearing or seeing what you think you are. Give me a break, he needs to start being honest and stop the pandering...

The glib media responses from Obama and/or his campaign are getting to sound identical with "the same old politics". He can't take a hit without a counter attack that is an outright lie (i.e. Paris Hilton). You know Hillary is looking bettter every day while Obama whines. Where is Cafferty when you need him? Jack's next question will be: Why does McCain keep sounding like the same old politics? Yeah for CNN's yellow journalism.

This is right on. The McCain's camp don't even have a clue about this election, they continued to used the same old tactic about the opponent and this year it will backfire big time.

I can understand the philosophy of the Republican campaign, when you have nothing to offer you got to concentrate on the opponent to deviate the weak minded people to look the other way. The same old Washington tricks will not work anymore.

It is in my view a total disgrace to compare a U.S Senator to Whitney Spears and Paris Hilton, it is an insult and it is a shame for the Republican to get down so low just to show their displeasure with Obama. My question to Mc. Cain is: How could a Maverick Senator like McCain, has been in the Senate for 100 years and let a Junior Senator like Obama make him look so silly and stupid?

Senator McGrumpy is not the winning ticket. We can and will do better.

O/08

This is a little on the negative side too.

How about both getting to the issues that matter to the voters. The economy, gas prices, poor wages and medical cover.

The world trip did nothing for the voters unless all of Germany is voting in the elections. This educational trip should have been done before running in the primary to ensure the nominee was ready for leadership. As far as I am concerned he still is not ready.

Obama has run a dirty campaign from day one. He lied about Hillary why should we expect him to change now. For a campaign of change the only thing he has changed is all the promises he's made. Oh yeah and his plans on Iraq. It's funny how the press forgets that half of his own party didn't support him. Remember Hillary's 18 million votes?

Kansas Republican,

You may not even be aware of it, but saying "playing the victim" and saying BOs "friends" Farrakhan, Jackson and Rangel, all of whom are African American, shows racialized thinking in your mind that is negative towards African Americans. It is that kind of thinking that I believe is keeping the polls relatively close.

First, BO has repeatedly repudiated Farrakhan, has spoken of responsibility in the African American community unlike Jackson–who wanted to "cut BO's n..ts off" for talking about responsibility, and has in not way buddied up to Rangel. So how are these three people his friends? Only because their African American? And BOs add in response in no way accuses McCain of attacking BO racially, so why do you think BO's add is "playing victim," particulary in a racial way?

Sir, your response shows racial ignorance at best, and racism at worst. I urge you for the future of this country to try to think in a more open minded way.

Allison – YOU RULE! That was a great comment. Took the words out of my mouth. Cindy is like Paris, except I know Paris is not a home wrecker, at least not yet.

To Kansaa Republican:

If anyone should "take their licks" it should be Surgent McSurge. He needs to get out of the gutter, or can he do that given his past history of failed politics and lying in it with his millionaire wife he cheated with while his first wife was suffering in pain from a terrible car accident, as she lay at home and listened to tails of his cheating!!! The end to that saga is he divorced his first wife for Cindy McSurge shortly after he returned from the military! Senator Obama is not being sarcastic as you claim, what he is doing is running the honorable and respectful campaign they both promised to do at the beginng of the general election. And, as Senator Obama stated earlier today, McCain can't think of anything positive to say about himself, all lhe does it talk about Senator Obama. Why? Because he knows if he talks about Senator Obama, he'll get noticed by the media, and, he has nothing to say positive about himself because he hasn't done anything!

It seems to me, and everyone listening or reading this can pick up on the fact that McSurge is very jealous and envious of Senator Obama's successful overseas trip, and instead of "manning up" and saying he's jealous and felt left out because no one was paying him the slighest bit of attention while he posed in the cheese aisle, and looked for some cheese to go with that whine of his, he not only uses his ads to attack Senator Obama, but he's at the same time for those of you who didn't catch it, attempting to attack and smear Britney Spears and Paris Hilton!! What did those two celebrities ever do to him, except perhaps get more publicity than him........Senator Obama is the better candidate and the better candidate deserves more attention. Senator Obama is more like the old ad about E.F. Hutton – When Senator Obama speaks, people listen!!!!

Barack needs some adversary situation because he doesn't seem to do well under pressure. He's been great, but he's been winning. How is he under fire? I want to know that my next president will be tested and ready to deal with the evil-doers of the world, namely Iranian leaders.

And OMG, Barack please don't hold the Saudis hand like that idiot Bush. It looked as if the Saudis were leading him on a leash. Not very American.

John McCain and his ilk are just pathetic. Same Ol-Same Ol is right.

"Same old politics" is that the best the Obama campaign can come up with? Sounds like a broken record to me. This may not be the Kerry's campaign and they may be ready, prepared and quick to respond to whatever the GOP throws at them but you know what? They seem to be getting Kerrys same old numbers at the polls. Not good. Obama can't even get a 10% lead over some old fart who just recovered from Cancer treatments? Sad sad sad.

The flying circus tour didn't do anything for him other than to reinforce his status as an arrogant, presumptuous, rock star with gimmicky speeches and nothing to back it up with.

Obama and his campaign wont be ready come November when the results from Ohio and Florida come in and McCain wins the presidency early in the evening.

So long Obama. Your days are numbered. You were SELECTED not ELECTED.

Hillary Clinton 2012. Rock on PUMA's!!!

HEY KANSAS REPUBLICAN......WHAT ABOUT WORRYING ABOUT GETTING FROM POINT A TO B WITHOUT SPENDING YOUR LEFT ARM FOR GAS! OH I'M SORRY YOU MUST BE ONE OF THOSE RICH MCBUSH SUPPORTERS WHO DONT WORRY HOW THEY ARE GOING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN FOOD AND A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD,I GUESS YOU DON'T WORRY ABOUT HOW YOU ARE GOING TO GET MEDICINE FOR YOUR CHILD LIKE I DO.....PLEASE GET A LIFE OTHER THAN SITTING IN YOUR 4800 SQ FT HOUSE BUY THE LAKE IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER BASHING PEOPLE!!!! IF YOUR'E NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION.........

This is a great response: on-topic, mature and timely. I'm amazed at how silly, off-topic and often outright dishonest the McCain campaign has been going in an attempt to gain any points at all. In contrast, the Obama campaign has been dignified, truthful and topical.

Well done!

go figure...
i mean come on mcsame and the rejects i mean republicans are looking very weak at the moment i mean for real are these type of attacks all they think of ? they belittle him for being a well like world figure (you would think its a good thing for the president aka the most powerful man on the planet to be well liked abroad) they say he is getting all this "great " media coverage but he is getting mostly negative air time with the media and mcsame is getting by fair mostly positive media coverage . they say he " snubbed" the troops in germany but mccains voting record shows he voted against 9 bills that would have improved life for wounded vets, ed benefits, housing etc, so who really snubbed the troops? he argues about the surge working, ofcourse it had a good effect anytime we put that many american troops anywhere in the world they are going to kick but , but at the same time what is this " victory " that mcsame is talking about this war has dragged on for too long, too many american lives have been lost, and its killing our economy and to think we should have never been their (just like sen obama said go figure) . and lets not forget that mcsame is jumping on the bandwagon on sen obamas ideas ie more troops in afghanastan, the " timetable" of troop withdrawl. so the rep have been throwning all this negative crap and nothing sticks but they would much rather sling mud and not have it stick than talk about issues... go figure

I am so disappointed in McCain. I always respected him, even when I didn't agree with his politics. What happened to his promise to run a clean campaign. He seems to have no ideas except to tear down Obama. If Obama wasn't such a gentleman he could trash McCain on so many issues, such as his meeting with 'president Putin of Germany', his repeatedly talking about a country that hasn't existed for 15 years, his confusion about who's fighting who in Iraq, etc, etc, etc. If Obama had made any one of those mistakes, they'd have crucified him.

Kansas Republican >>> Victim??

Whose been whining for the past weeks ..... Mc Cain .......

Mc Cain's ADs are full of DESPERATION!!!

Can someone plz inform me on Mc Cain solution to the economy etc ... anybody???

This from someone I thought was honorable whether or not I agreed with his policies. I get the point he's trying to make but he's looking pretty desperate.

Amen!!!!!

What ever happened to the McCain of 2000? That McCain would do so much better than the McCain of 2008.

Who writes this crap for McCain?? How immature and unproffessional. Who wants this old senile guy playing nananabooboo as president! Yucko!

Kansas Republican: you don't know what your talking about sounding just like MCLAME!!!! Why can't your candidate simply state what he's FOR instead of who he's AGAINST!!! It is the same OLD politics. Obama appears VERY PRESIDENTIAL and that's what people like yourself are simply AFRAID OF I have yet to see Mccain act presidential all he and his campaign and surrogates do is ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK tell your candidate to tell people what he's about and what he's for, we already know he was a POW we need something NEW and CONCRETE you think that will happen?

OBAMA 08/12 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL!!!!

It's okay to hit Barack with attacks on the issues, but not his race Kansas Republican, makes you sound small-minded.

Allison, McLean, VA, you are so right. Paris didn't steal her drugs.

O/08

Kansas Republican: Really?? Responding to an unfair attack is not "presidential"? I have a funny feeling that if Obama just took "his licks," as you say, and did nothing, folks like you would be hooting and hollering with glee, and egging on the McCain camp to follow up with more and more such shots.

It really amazed me during the primaries and debates, this labelling of Obama as "thin-skinned" whenever he would point out that a particular question or criticism was inappropriate or irrelevant.

And, by the way, nice thinly disguised racism: I think recent weeks have shown that Obama is no "victim" and no "friend" of Jackson, Farrakhan, etc., at least in the way you imply–that Obama is typical of the older generation of African-American politicians whose stock and trade (as the charge goes) is playing off white liberal guilt. Obama has demonstrated he is not willing to pander to any group, and has earned Jackson's testicular threats to prove that.

Kansas Republucan; are you well? Who's saying anything about victimization? Grandpa Mccbush is the one crying to every reporter that he need attention. All Barack is doing is defending himslef against republican bigots like you. and next time, please make a valid piont without the silly name connections!

Kansas Republican, Barack takes a licking and keeps on ticking!
We've got us a fighter!

What is wrong with getting old? Obama supporters will get old some day anyway and you will learn how bad it is when your kids tell you same thing as you doing now.

Regarding old politics. Let's look at Obama, he is behind all kind of OLD politicians to support him, he is behind all kind of OLD/large businesses and investers to support him, and he is behind to all kind of OLD/large and media to advertise him. Senator Obama can change the appearance of OLD politics but the core is still there, he is just a great (well trained) "SPEAKER" for them. We will vote for a President, not for a speaker.

BTW, please do not change the name of other people. Senator McCaine, NOT McSame. I think CNN should not post comments that address to wrong names

Kansas Republican shows that many people just don't have the eyes or the brains to see the truth when it sits right in front of them. No one can honestly or objectively tell me that McCain has done anything but badmouth Obama and then steal his ideas as if they were his own. I'm glad Obama is going to fight back. All of America should fight against McCain and his ilk.

For a moment when Obama did not respond to the injured solider ad, I thought Obama adopted Kerry's mistakes. Today's response ad proved me wrong.

good job stay on top of McCain and gang so negative it won"t
sell this time.

Well done! Take the high road, let the republican trash sink in the load road!

I am STOMPED by the stats that Most Americans want off shore drilling!!!!! Aren't these the same folks that voted for BUSH???? I rest my case!!!

Kansas Republican...

Obama can "take" his licks.... WHEN THE AREN'T NASTY, UNFOUNDED, NON-REALITY-BASED, STRAIGHT-OUT-LYING, SMEARS...

So maybe Mc-walking-cane could appear presidential by actually presenting a plan for something besides how NEXT to attack Obama.

The sad reality is that–all the maverick talk and image hype to the contrary–both John McCain and Barack Obama are "old politics" types. Both have done what it takes to get to where they are as presidential candidates, and some of that doing isn't pretty–McCain making nice with Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, Obama backpedaling on FISA and public campaign financing. And that's just to name a few recent examples of the same-old, same-old games these guys have played throughout their careers.

A pox on both of 'em.

Senator McCain is a hypocrite and a flip-flop in every respect. He dared Senator Obama to travel to Iraq, and then criticises him for the success of the trip. He ridiculed Obama's 16-months time-table to leave Iraq, but has now embraced the same thing now that Iraq's Prime Minister likes the 16-month time-table and President Bush supports it.

Senator McCain can never be trusted, and does not deserve to be voted to be President

Here we go again, some garbage from Obama as in the primary. He can say anything he wants and the news media will protect him. McCain is right, what plan does Obama have for America? His style of campaigning is old already. Oprah is probably banking this ad too. If Obama plans on winning, he better start putting out plans. This response rubs Hillary supporters the wrong way and reminds us of how the press is going to protect their cookies and milk candidate. I understand what the McCain ads are saying, "Where's the beef?"

Dirty politics are fine for Republican'ts but a no-no for Democrats? Republican'ts WROTE THE BOOK on playing dirty.

Looks like McCain is the one not ready for prime time. He gets SUCKER PUNCHED EVERYTIME.

Lightning fast response time from Obama.

Good, serves McCain right. It's a little early for negative campaigning, but Barack has to protect himself and his campaign.

O/08

Uhhh...Mr. McCain. These tactics worked for Bush twice. We will NOT be fooled again.

I'm still waiting for your first non-attack ad. You know, the one where you explain why we should vote FOR you and not AGAINST the other guy.

I believe that America is too smart to vote for John McCain.

Excuse me Mr. "Kansas Republican", but don't you remember how all you Republicans starting crying because General Wesley Clark made a very accurate opinion on why being a pilot who was shot down and captured as a prisoner of war (from a failed war in Vietnam) doesn't make him qualifed to be president of the U.S.?

McCain isn't just pointing out anything valid about Obama, he's spreading lies and negatively manipulating the facts because he can't convince voters with his same old failed (Bush) policies!

Obama isn't crying, he's making a valid point that we shouldn't concentrate on the same old way of doing politics...lie, lie, lie about your rival. He want's to campaign on what he would do different and better, not just tear down the other person with twisted lies and propaganda!

John McCain is a clone of the failed Bush/Republican era. Their chapter in American history is towards the end and our nation is ready for the wonderful epilogue. If this nation has trepidation about Obama as president, they are completely blind to what a McCain administration would bring.

Obama's elegant and professional rebuttal to McCain's ad should prove to everyone how he can act with grace, respect and logic in his approach to domestic and foreign policy. The US is waiting for Obama to take office, its almost a waste of time to give McCain the time of day.

by the way, anybody else notice that its republicans (bush, mccain, romney) pressing for off shore drilling that will pour more money into the pockets of oil big wigs, while not saving us americans a dime. obama is also 100% correct here, its time to wean ourselves and country off of oil, unless of course you want to stay dependant on big oil.

Where is Karl Rove? I know he's hiding somewhere back there in the McCain camp. This is the same type of false attacks Rove was able to throw at opponents his buddy George Bush.

I dont want the Candidates to be nice to each other!

this is just the election!

Can they take the heat?
Can they ride the wave?

Can they stand up to the pressure?

What happens when pressure is about something really important?
Something that matters more than their Public Image?

If they can't handle this, they can't solve your problems! Or mine either!

Well there is an ad that shows FACTS and cannot be refuted even by McCain...Translation...........NO MLM COVERAGE!

John McCain has nothing to run on. He is parroting Bush's failed policies and is too befuddled and confused to even remember what he has supported or been against in the past. We don't need a man who can't remember his own votes and positions in control of the WH. John McCain is dangerous, and he's terrified America will realize that he's too temperamental and confused to run for President, so he smears Obama every chance he gets.

The risky choice is McCain – he's not fit to be President. 8 years ago I would have considered voting for him. Today? He's too angry, too petulant and too confused to be anywhere near a position of power in this country. And he knows it – that is why he attacks Obama with baseless, sophomoric childishness. McCain used to be better than this. It's a shame he didn't quit while he still had honor.

this shows that McCain's transformation is almost complete. say anything, say it often and loud as hell. because there are plenty of people who just want 'talking points". you see them on the blogs, they lunge at this stuff. They want talking points they can use in polite company.
'can you say "southern strategy" ?

Hey obama you have seen nothing yet we are saving all the dirty secrets of yours for the last month of the election. You have nothing to offer to the american people. you have yet to explain what change is ??
how many issues you have flip flop on obama??iraq, free trade, health,public fianancing and the list goes on. we can see through you obama you are nothing more then a glitch on the graph. I will take my chances with Mccain anytime over your cocky attitude.
God bless america.

//

McCain is a boring, old fart. I'd rather be waterboarded than to listen to the crap that comes out of his mouth!

KR, He is Black, so you are against him. Plain and simple truth. Your code words tell it all. Get over it, Obama will win by 15-20 points. And I am NOT an Obama supporter, but I will vote for him over "The Manchurian Candidate."

Why is it that you linked to McCain's ad earlier today, but not to Obama's now? Careful, your bias is showing.

Mc Cant is getting desperate. Obama all the way we don't need another Bush in office.

I am sorry as a republican this add that McCain camp but out us just plain Stupit. I cant belive that John McCain will aprove this message. O well...This is the reason hes not doing well.

Obama camp: don't buy into this negative campaign ad trick: this is exactly what they want!!! Stick to the positive message and just ignore all of the BULL they throw at you. That way, you will be able to address the republican's boring, drawn-out, base-less attacks during your VICTORY SPEECH come November.

Obama is like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears? McSenile is an idiot, especially since he probably doesn't know who Spears and Hilton are.

McSenile can take his stupid ad and go off a cliff. He can't run on jack so his trying to make Obama look bad. What a joke this guy is.

Obama/Sebelius 2008/2012.

Yeah the good, smart black senator from a broken home is just like paris hilton.

Does anyone have the link to this new ad? I would love to see it!!

The Republican Party under the rule of George Bush and Dick Cheney will say anything to get the American people to believe that opening enviromentally sensitive land will bring down gas prices.

The real plan is to get as much land freed up for the big oil companies before George Bush and Dick Cheney leave office.

So what the latest polls are saying is that we have a bunch of naive Americans willing to believe the lies coming from the Republcan party. Haven't they fooled us enough? How much more of beating can we take?

And if we all acted with hate like you, Kansas Republican, we could call this country "New Iraq". You ready to volunteer your wife to be a su1c1de b0mber to take down all these "girly men?" Because all this hate is just turning us into what we're fighting in the Middle East. T3rrorists trying to scare the other guy. That's not an opinion, it's a definition.

You hypocritical haters don't scare me. The rest of the people who genuinely care about our fellow Americans are saddened by the fact that anyone has to "take licks" and "throw punches" at all. What ever happened to policies and personality?

Yeah, this'll get posted. CNN, you haven't posted my last five or so. You ready for me to get my word in yet?

Wonderful response.

mccaine and the republicans don't get it they never have or never will. people want a change to how our gov. works. the way our founding fathers wanted it to work:FOR ALL THE PEOPLE. this is what we will get with OBAMA and a democratic senate/house. CITIZENS vote only DEMOCRATIC this time.we must save this great nation from the republicans who only want a dictatership.

Way to go Obama! Same old politics is as old as the guy running against you. People are a lot more intelligent than McCain gives them credit. He is insulting the country with his attacks. I see it as being desperate!. Shame on you!

OBAMA 08!

Obama will always look smart, calm and professional while McCain continues to look like an out of touch grouchy old man. The more negative the ads from McClueless' campaign, the better Obama looks and the Obama campaign is just so much smarter than the idiots for McOver.

But get your facts straight, Allison!
Cindy McCain has done quite a bit for humanity, and is actively involved in numerous charities!

And actually, Paris engages in Charity work too.
Like the time she got the DUI after drinking (a single margarita) at a Benefit Ball.

John McCain has nothing to offer as a candidate for president, except for the promise of continuing the Republican policies that lead to the major downward trend of the past eight years.

This most recent attack on Obama is proof that McCain has nothing of value to offer the American people. Attacking Obama's "celebrity"? LOL! Somebody's jealous! John McCain's advertisement asks "Is [Obama] ready to lead?" I think the answer is obviously "YES"! Look at the success of Obama's campaign - overcoming racial obstacles, and winning over many people who might have otherwise voted for Hillary Clinton. Look at the reception the rest of the world has give Obama! Polls indicate that 75% of Europeans prefer Obama to McCain. World leaders like Obama! America needs to be liked by the rest of the world; our future depends upon our relationship with other countries.

McCain said, "Sen. Obama doesn't have the strength to speak openly and directly about he will address the serious challenges that confront America. How will he be strong enough to really change Washington?" I think it is fair to say that John McCain is being disingenuous or is lying. Obama has proven his strength time and time again, talking about important subjects that most people are afraid to broach; things that are actually part of our daily lives, such as health care, the economy, and our society. It took guts to make the speeches Obama made to let people know what he thought about race, religion, and patriotism; McCain would never have the courage to tell us what he thinks about such things. Here's the best part: Obama has, from the beginning of his campaign, expressed his belief that America should talk with our (so-called) "enemies" just as we have open communications with our allies - whereas McCain took the outdated weakling point of view that we should simply take our ball and go home and try to ignore any animosity. LOL! Yeah, that takes strength, McCain! The truth is that Obama's the guy with courage and strength; Obama's the one who will face problems and work to solve them rather than hide and hope they go away.

Kansas Republican, you need to stop listening to Sean Hannity and start thinking for yourself. You're only repeating what you're hearing. I'm sure you've never researched any of this information yourself!

Kansas Republican:

Are you ready for a continuation of Dubya's Policies with McCain as president?

You must have voted for Dubya, right?

Liking the results so far?

I hope the Obama camp took lessons from the primary with Hillary. This is an election and nobody should be over confident until people cast their votes.

Good luck

why would we want to go from one old fool (Bush) to another old fool(McCain)?? We need fresh ideas and solutions to our nations problems and that spells Barack Obama!!

It would really have been convenient and useful if this story had linked to the actual video in some way.

I still cant believe people are willing to vote mcsame let alone believe the garbage tv ads he uses to convince people to vote for him. americans are really dumb if they believe his attacks and vote for him. i guess they are the same people who voted for bush's second term in office....I PRAY THEY LEARNED THEIR LESSON...

GO OBAMA 08'

McCain is a loser. My choice is between Barr and Obama. Cindy McCain and Paris Hilton are 2 peas in a pod.

Obama is such a whiner. He has absolutely commanded 99% of the media attention during this election and he can't take a little attack. Folks.....this is an election! There are going to be attacks on both sides.

Obama should quit whining and start talking about why we should elect him. I believe that his policies will push this country over the edge. Bad economy? Great idea Obama....raise taxes on people. Short on oil? Great idea Obama.......close off drilling everywhere to increase our dependence on foreign oil.

Mccain 2008!!!!

Kansas Republican, just shows the old dog cant learn anything new..
And what do it tells about McCain ???

I agree with Senator Obama 100% that Senator McCain has taken the low road. When Senator Obama went overseas and did really well, I was feeling a little sorry for McCain but after the way he acted while Senator Obama was there and after his return, all of the feeling sorry for him quickly went away. The Straight Talk Express has turned into nothing more than the mudslinger express.

Experience is only as good as it's possessor

Incompetent people have so called "experience"
Idiots have so called "experience"
Criminals have so called "experience"
Liars have so called "experience"
Cheaters have so called "experience"

Experience is only as good as it's possessor

Good. Let the games begin!!!!!

Kansas Republican:

You're a big fan of Karl Rove, aren't you?!

Fair Game, Obama!
Why don't you get that?

He exploits the media for exposure (to get elected) and it is working for him. He came out of nowhere and achieved all this.
And most people are impressed.

Years ago I remember reading in Vanity Fair about Paris and her kid sister hanging out with celebrities back when it had to be explained that their 'connection' was Hilton Hotel heiress-hood. They were everywhere! The VF contributor wondered what they hoped to gain from all the exposure.
Well, time answered that question.

So, yes, there is a valid and brilliant comparison here.

I really don't want the Candidates to be too Nice to Each Other.
They are competing for one of the most powerful jobs on the Globe and I want to see how they handle things when the Heat is On.
This is just an election, for goodness sake.
What are either of them going to do when the STRESS is about something really important?
When they (and the rest of us) have Something to lose besides their IMAGE?????

You know Kansas--why can't your candidate take the high road also?

Democrats have tried in the past to let these things go and where has it gotten us? Sometimes you have to get in the dirt with the pigs and wrestle them down.

If your side is interested in a nice above-board campaign, call us.

Just saw the new ad on Huffington Post...very effective and professional.

I don't think a response was needed. Every image in McCain's ad had thousands of people looking to Obama... I don't think McCain has ever spoken to 1000 people, how in the world is he supposed to "lead" if no one is following him?

Senator Obama has only celebrity to offer America. What has he done? What are his accomplishments?

Americans will not be fooled by an adoring press. We will not support someone with so little experience. The press can keep pushing Senator Obama on us but the voters will not elect him.

We are not electing an American Idol. We are electing a president, which is more than a popularity contest.

We will choose experience, judgment, and a genuine war hero over a zero every time!

Democrats for McCain!

No Muslin likes to be shown what he really is.....

Sen. Obama you are the one taking a Low road
Shame on you
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

The Obama camp should shoot back some negative adds to McCain, but instead of using Paris Hilton, they need to use the Crip Keeper to represent McCain!

McCain's true colors are coming out. The guy is a lying 2-face counterfeit hero who doesn't deserve to be running for the office of President.

President "Songbird McCain" has a sour taste to it.

I LOVE that add. Now that is how you do an add. It's direct and to the point.

noting that the message Republicans have for voters is simple: “He doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bill.”

That was an Obama quote today referring to millions of americans who are republicans or support them. In the primary he said he would not make race a focus of the campaign but it looks like he and his handlers decided they can play the race card and get away with it.

He is a typical liberal Dem and he will lose because of his leftist agenda and his inexperience. What will they call everyone when that happens?

Ole man McCain(cient) could not find both cheeks of his as in a strong wind. McCain=more Bush.

That writting seem to leave John Mccain behind as an old fella while we match foward!!

As an OBAMA supporter, I say you go. I guess McBush will not be getting any campaigns fund from the Hiltons. Connie from Indiana

Make that "media" outlets. Geesh, CNN, are your "editers" as "louzy" as your journalists and squawking, bubble-headed reporters delivering the hard facts and real news in Prada, Gucci, Donna Karin, Ralph Lauren and the like?

This is NOT your grand father "Political Machine". We respond FAST and with a PUNCH

So Obama responds to 'old politics' with old politics?

What does that make Obama's politics? What is it when a Socialist candidate is one of the choices in November? Somehow this is a hopeful move to a future we can believe in...HA!!...yeah, right!! Not all change is good. The progressive/socialist change that Obama promotes is dangerous!

I earn my own money. I don't want to be forced to share even more of MY MONEY with the govenment in order to help those who don't care enough to find a job for themselves.

Jack,

It's about time Barack hit back on this ad. It took him long enough considering there were quite a few before this one.

Barack tried to take the high road. But, McSame won't allow it. McSame is acting very very jealous and already defeated with this type of smug he's putting out. It's really sad of McSame.

Take that McSame.......You gonna cry now? because O-team hit ya back?
You just Flipping Flop this campaign Granpa..

The Obama team will loose. What do you expect when you put up an inexperienced candidate against a an American hero. I am confident that the American people are not stupid.

Obama is so full of crap, why doesn't he tell us how he will fix the economy instead of making ads that just tell people look at what he's saying about me now wah wah wah! how are you going to get us off foreign oil does he have a plan for that, hell no and you stupid morons think he is going to bring change. how is that possible if he does not have a plan. how is he going to change the government when he is hiring Bush's cronies to work for him that's not change that's crap!

Once a man twice a child.This is Senator McCain second childish behavour. McCain is now behaving like a child with his ad attacks.

To compare a fellow senator popularity as a celeb without real contrast with the celebrities in question, is very childish.

When will McCainflip flop goind to learn?

This is going to be a very interesting election. I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Obama 08'

I think Obama's campaign (him and his people) are immature when it comes to politics. They're playing the whole "he poked me first" kid games.

What new policies are they going to bring? Health care for illegal immigrants? Drivers licenses for illegals? Appeasement policies with Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah? Cuz i'm pretty sure those won't be old politics, and they will be very successful policies.

Same OLD Politics is right. This is John McCain's attempt at trying to look 'hip' and it is actually pretty sad.

John McCain's wife Cindy is much more like Paris Hilton in that they are both blond, millionaire heiresses who have done nothing with their lives...also, both have had drug problems, but at least Paris didn't steal her drugs from charity like Cindy McCain did.

Amazing that McCain started this campaign as someone I respected.

He said that this was not going to be the same old type of attack, smear political campaign as we have seen in the past. THAT is exactly what he has started to do!

Shame on you, Senator McCain. Taking the "high road"?? Yeah, right!

NOT THIS TIME!!

Yeah! Anytime McCain says anything about Obummer, he's just terrible. Is America ready for four years of a president who is always a "victim" like Bo's friends Jackson, Rangel and Farakahn? If Obama really wants to appear "presidential," he should take his licks without crying and throw his punches without sarcasm.

Same old politics sits well with mccain......

Obama is the coolest cat out there, completely naive of the McCaineys to think they won't hit back, but now is not the time when you have a comfortable lead and you don't have to spend that advertising money, but when the dam breaks look out. Best Politician of a life time.

McCain simply has nothing new to offer.

Thank goodness and I hope the media gives this ad the same coverage they give McCains negative ads. Obama is a smart man, for that reason I will vote for him. He has consistently taken the high road, even when Hillary threw the kitchen sink and septic tank at him. This is the leader that America needs.

""John McCain. Same old politics, same failed policies," the ad's narrator also says."

Heavy on the OLD.

You can only get same old politics from the same old man

it's time for mcmess to be accountable for all the nonsense he says-his lack of knowledge and his attacks on obama.

how can he claim to be strong on foreign policy when he thinks that pakistan and iraq share a border? or the difference between shiia and sunni? wants to visit czechloslavakia? i mean seriously people, how can you overlook his lack of even the most BASIC foreign policy knowledge, like WHERE the involved countries are?

just because someone SAYS they are stronger on foreign policy doesnt mean that they ARE!! i cant believe that after 8 years of this, people are still so ignorant and gullible!!!

about time!!

OBAMA 08

Mccain is angry and bitter, we do not need this war monger with his finger on the button, if he is elected there will be war,hate, and division,politic's as usual

Another example of Obama responding to a prickly situation with tact and finesse. The Master of the High Road!!
OBAMA '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why can't either stand on their own merit and not "attack" the other? BOTH are participating in the same-old/same-old.

All thought Obama was all about change?

ABOUT OBAMA:

1. Everybody who is NOT a snob senses that something is not exactly O.K. with that so called "New Politician".
I see him like my doughier: tells me exactly what I would like to hear.

I think that Guy and his gang had studied the social behaviour in USA long before had started the elections and they simply manipulate us very effectively!
Simply: DO NOT TRUST HIM!!!!

2. No offence, but am I correct that OBAMA is very much supported and loved by HOMOSEXUALS?

/ Not because I do not respect them as human beings/

3. His color is NOT my concern but his attitude : HE IS ARROGANT!
e.g. Is it appropriate a future President to chew a gum walking as a peacock at front of the cameras?

4. If he is "sooo gifted" and almost genius, what he had done for 45 years before the beginning of that election?

Oh, so he DIDN'T flip-flop?
Thanks for clearing this up Obama?
Hat tip...
??????????????????????

What this ad says is true. I was will to almost buy McCain's words that he wouldn't go dumpster diving like the Bush campaign and other disingenuous Republicons, but I've been proven wrong.

For a man that said he will run an honourable campaign, John McCain has again showed that with all of these false, laughable and honestly stupid ads, that he has nothing to run on. This man is really confused and can probably run an old peoples' home better but not the white house.
Very unfortunate.

I'm glad the Obama campaign is right on top of McCain's "swift-boating."

Obama if you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen. You socialists are all the same. Promise everybody everything when in fact you only plan to raise my taxes on everthing from a to z. You are an empty suit. You have no substance, you have no experience and you scare me with your terrorist friends and anti-american clergy.

I love it!!! Way to go Obama!!!! Stick it to McBush!!! Hit him hard!!!! He even sounds like Bush. "No new taxes" before and not "Well everything is on the table" He is such a joke.

Get em!

McCain hasn't went more than 5 minutes without talking down on Obama in over 2 weeks. He is obsessed.

Obama 08'

"these Obama people are ready, prepared, and quick to respond to the Republican attack machine. I love it"

Ready and prepared with what? An ad hominem for an ad hominem?

Sounds like two kids playing in the sand.

And whatever happened to Obama 'taking politics away' from "negativism" and "attack ads"? Sounds like the same old politics and same old policies over and over again.

What a shame.

Good job Obama! Don't let them swift boat you!! Hopefully over the last 8 years, the U.S. voter will learn that it helps to actually think before voting. All those people who fell for the swift boats before wish they could have thier votes back. This time they'll know better!!!

Get 'em Obama!!!!!

McGrumpy is mad as hell that : 1 he is losing, 2, he isjealous of Obama's popularity, 3 he is angry because Obama did not fall flat on his face after Obama accepted his challenged has been acting like a lunatic.

Thats right. Both are "business as usual". We've got Urkel in a nice suit and some old man. Vote Green 2008. Cynthia McKinney.

that 's odd. Mccains ads get round the clock free air time and a video link on the media websites.

I guess it is more important to make sure McCains messages get out.

Even though he, himself has been a celebrity since he got shot down and has been the media darling from when he first started running for president 10 years ago.

I guess all those bit bbq invites to the media out to his mansion ranch in Arizona with all the servants really got you obligated for good.

mccain has gone negative with the help of MSNBC that cable network does not report anything about mccain they are always looking for what obama says and run with that on their network, i think they are so desparate ratings but that will turn people away and the good part of this is you can go on the internet and get your news these cable networks might end not having viewers at all people will be going on the inernet because they are so negative and they look for gotcha politics i am so disappointed in mccain that is not the mccain from 2000 this one is so desparate

WAY TO GO OBAMA!!!!!! -B.

It's about time Senator Obama put some dust into the eye of the repubs. Comoooon, why can't people see the light when it shines? Obama has been quite consistent on most of the issues. He was WIDELY accepted during his trip last week. McCain had promised a respectful campaign but is now acting desperate. He needs to hold on to his horses before the last bearing he's drops off. I am hugely disappointed in his actions.

The McCain ad has dangerous undertones and that needs to be addressed. The image of huge crowds of Germans with the monument in the background while monotoned chants of "Obama" sound is meant to evoke a Hitler rally. The choice of the two young blond celebrities is also quite intentional to contrast the young blonds with the "scary" celebrity black man. Both young women have had explicit images in circulation. Spears was photographed "flashing" a photographer, showing her genitals sans- underwear and Hilton had a video circulate of her having sex. So this new ad isn't just pathetic old McCain- can't run a campaign. This ad is targeting racist anxieties and you can bet it will have an impact on some voters.

Is a negative ad about a negative ad still a negative ad?
Seems like Obama is willing to use the "same old politics" too.
All Politicians are hypocrits, I just hope everyone else sees that.

I used to think McCain had integrity, even though I didn't like his policy ideas. Now I know better.

That's right expose McCain. LOL!

McCain used to be respectable. No more. It's a shame.

*yawn* Same old, same old from Obama. Criticize the criticism instead of answering it.

Bravo, signore.

Good for Barack. McCain is going down fast and these last ads show it.

Am I the only one that thinks McCain might be as dumb as W? He seems "way out there" at times...almost lost.

Spot on.

McCain, more than Obama even, has continually said he plans to run a "different" campaign focused on issues and without personal attacks, yet he has failed to do any of those things.

Obama, on the other hand, has rarely gone negative. And when he does, it almost always an issue-based argument.

Nuthin' new under the sun, but let's hope Obama's popularity translates into him being able to get things done in Washington when he gets elected.

CNN YOU SUCK!!

You will not post unless it's cudos to FASHION OBAMA

This is an excellent rejoinder to McCain's ridiculous ad. I applaud Obama's campaign for its effective and quick response.

McCain's negative advertising actually reveals three things about him:

1) insecurity / jealousy (of Obama's greater popularity).
2) misogyny (yes, Ms. Hilton and Ms. Spears are women too and deserve some respect).
3) desperation (highly negative ads signal a campaign in trouble).

Hey LET OBAMA talk, LET HIM WIN after all he is just a seed sent from a bigger picture to destroy america and it is no body's fault but WHITES (you know the ones that are at fault for everything). THIS EVIL MAN JUST MIGHT BE WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS to WAKE PEOPLE UP…..

GO OBAMA!!!

VP::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh the past...

Like earlier this spring when you attacked the Clintons daily...

Your a tool Obama... it will be fun to watch you sink...

Nobama... Noway

VP – RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain has nothing to offer the American people except this crap?

You'd have to be brain dead if you didn't realize that Obama is a 'TYPICAL WASHINGTON POLITICIAN' and his campaign uses 'SAME OLD POLITICS' all the time. I know. I witnessed them use it against Clinton.

and obama's retort is 100% correct. the only thing mccain has going is fooling americans into believing that off shore drilling is gonna make for $2 gas again. sorry mccain but america has grown tired of negative attacks and relying on oil.

Oops. Now we've gone and offended the self-crowned KING. And he is such a delicate flower that he rushed to produce a "reply" the very same day.

What a guy! And that rap star-Obama is pretending to be "horrified," of course. The company you keep, Barry....

The problem is that the McCain is dead on! All of you should look at Mr. Millbank's column in today's Washington Post.

"I'm not a real president, but I play one on tv."

It worked to sell toothpaste...

Good for Obama. Kerry lost because he waited a month before responding to the swift boat attacks. Obama needs to fight back no matter how lame those attacks seem.

GO OBAMA PUT JOE BIDEN ON OLD GRANDPA AND STAY ABOVE THE BS LIKE YOU DID TO HILLARY !!!!!!!!!!

Didn't Obama's campaign come out with the same self-righteous pomposity when Clinton went aggressive? This is so childish. It's back to sticks and stones will break my bones – sometimes Obama is so prissy.

And thus begins the "McCain is too old" attack campaign from the neophyte politician promoting change and claiming to take the high road.

It's about time Obama started fighting back. McShame and his negitive adds have been going on for weeks. I was once a republican but the white sheet wearing right changed me. McCain was once a good man and now has changed to fit the right. Say anyting even if you know it's not true.

You'd have to be brain dead if you didn't realize that Obama is a TYPICAL WASHINGTON POLITICIAN'

Great ad!

You go get em' Senator Obama!

Obama '08

Obama accusing McCain of Politics of the past? What a hypocrite! The empty suit just came back from his fieldtrip in Europe after trying to mimick Reagan and JFK in Germany, acting like a sitting president, and repeating the mistakes of the past by not listening to the commanding general in the Middle East. Obama's arrogant snear breaks out whenever he sends his little Obamites out to smear McCain's age, health, and military service.

Hey LET OBAMA talk, LET HIM WIN after all he is just a seed sent from a bigger picture to destroy america and it is no body's fault but WHITES (you know the ones that are at fault for everything). THIS EVIL MAN JUST MIGHT BE WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS to WAKE PEOPLE UP.....

GO OBAMA!!!

I hope to see the media start to hold McCain accountable for stomping all over his promise to run a civil campaign. Imagine the uproar if Obama ran an add comparing McCain to Grandpa Simpson... a much more apt comparison than any that McCain has made about Obama.

McCane, go take your nap. You clearly need your rest.

where's the link to the ad?

Yeah sure Obama, like your straw scarecrow is any different. Americans may be stupid but we're not blind..., sorry.

Sigggh, that's Obama's response to everything same old politics. I wonder if the terroists actually strike in the us again, will Obama response as president be same old terroists.

"John McCain. Same old politics, same failed policies," SOOO TRUE!!!!

mcmess has to take the low road, first of all b/c he's a neoCON repug and that's what they do. but also b/c he cant run on the issues for two main reasons--he doesnt have enough knowledge to discuss them and b/c he supports the FAILED policies of a FAILED administration, which the vast majority of americans completely disagree with.

This is not the Kerry campaign.......these Obama people are ready, prepared, and quick to respond to the Republican attack machine. I love it.......and that picture of McCain in the response ad makes him look 100 years old. Kudos to the Obama team!

It is hard to believe the standard of politics of this country has come down to this level.

Once a man twice a child>This is Senator McCain second childish behavour. McCain is now behaving like a child with his ad attacks.

To compare a fello senator popularity as a celeb without real contrast with the celebrities in question, is very childish.

When will McCainflip flop goind to learn?

hehehehe, OLD!

Just like my mother-in-law.....McWhine does nothing but whine and complain, and never has anything positive or constructive to contribute.

We don't need Hillary or her screaming women supporters to when this race. Go home and back some cookies.

McCain 08,12

McSame's Swiftboat attack ad was out for what, five hours, before the Obama camp responded with a smackdown of their own. I like it. Obama is so much better than Kerry and he came close to beating Bush. So McSame has no chance...that's why he has to attack instead of highlighting his successes and plans for the future – which he doesn't have. In light of the banking scandals, I think a great ad would be to rhetorically ask viewers which number was McCain in the Keating 5 scandal of the 1980s – 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

Poor Poor Obama

McCain is a better man than Obama could ever be.

McCain would be a better President than Obama ever could dream of.

Obama only knows how to smear and run a dirty campaign, he learned well in chicago.

Obama still stutters and stammers when as direct questions about his own policies. Showing he is merely a speech and knows nothing about doing anything, and does not care. He will need his staff under his bed to keep him scripted and informed when needed.

Obama is Mr Hollywood, More interested in his image, than in running the country properly. He is vain, arrogant and a elitest.

Obama will be a figure head of the government, the speaker the orator. while nancy pelosi and the DNC run the government, since he knows nothing and will be busy checking the mirrors for his image.

Obama's base "The Press" is mad at the truth.

This is the Republician Base...why change now!

McSame rides again!

I hate negative campaign ads, no matter who launches them. But right now, I think it's the only way to respond. If McStupid wants to waste his piddly campaign dollars on childish, baseless ads intended to try and beat his opponant down, then I say BRING IT ON! But he better be prepared when Obama pulls out the big guns.!

Emphasis on "strange OLD politics".

I'm deeply disapointed in Mccain-He once displayed dignity and integrity, but has made a Faustian pack with a Rove like devil to get elected. If the country falls for this turnaround, then shame on us

I'm voting for Obama.
