Watch Mitt Romney's interview from American Morning

(CNN)–Mitt Romney, John McCain's former primary season rival, defended the presumptive Republican nominee's controversial Web ad that suggested Barack Obama viewed himself as the Messiah — and said Monday the Illinois senator's new ad was deliberately deceptive.

“Well, that's really sad. I didn't - I didn't know that Barack Obama had stooped to dishonesty,” Romney told CNN American Morning's Kiran Chetry. “John McCain's is humorous and it hits the nail on the head. Barack Obama's like an Internet date….”

Watch to find out what Romney meant, and how he's feeling about his VP chances.

Romney you have your own skeltons please how dare you call anyone dishonest!
Check your buddies record fact check does wonders. He, McCain continues to tell American people wrong misleading info' 1 perfect example is the amount of Americans that will be taxed or affected.
It is not 32,000 it is 250,000 and only 5% will be taxed on Obama' plan.
Stop with the lies!

Southern view   August 4th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

I think the figure was 1.1 million of oil money greasing McCain's pocket. Where is the dishonesty? I understood that the Obama campaign took money also from that slippery source, but much less. Sorry, Romney.

jimmy velman   August 4th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

McCain's hilarious take on Barack Obama's 'Tire Gauge energy Plan' is really telling. The only thing missing is another McCain Ad depicting Pelosi with a Bicycle Pump with her name on it . Pelosi has been doing nothing in Congress but had been too busy promoting Obama. Now we think McCain should include Pelosi in another ad
with her name on a Bicycle Pump . The two got together.
McCain's sense of humor is hilarious indeed. with an ad like that.

one nation under god!!!!   August 4th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

Wow talk about stating the obvious.Is there such a thing as a honest liberal if there is they sure arnt involved with politics.Thanks Mitt

Esther   August 4th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

CNN stop it! This is outrageous and shameless! When McSame finally agrees and 'shifts' on the Iraq timetable, you call it convergence!!! When Obama strategizes, you call it 'shift'! How many 'shift stories' about Obama are in your headlines?

Dan , TX   August 4th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

Romney is dishonest, the perfect running mate for McCain.

Obama's plan cuts taxes more than McCain's plan. Obama will have a lower budget deficit than McCain. Look at the FACTS.

Evelyn Jewell   August 4th, 2008 3:03 pm ET

Well, I have voted Democrat my entire seventy-eight years, but I can't bring myself to vote for Obama. I'm not a racist either.

If anyone, states, " they'll not vote for Obama , they're called a racist ".

My problem, is I don't think, Obama has enough experience & his judgment isn't too great either.

Our best Democrat for the next President, was Hillary Clinton, but the media, knocked her out of the nomination.

So if Hillary isn't Obama's V/P, goodbye to my vote for Obama.

Read about Tom Brokaw, being called a racist, because, he didn't have a black, on the list to be the next moderator of the TV program,
" Meet The Press ". You see, what this racist deal has come to, what that comment.

Jordan - San Marcos TX   August 4th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Romney is like that rich guy at a party that everyone hates but you can't make him leave because he paid for the drinks.

I want McCain to pick him just to watch him lose again.

weneedachange   August 4th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

McPain acts like one of those spoil airheaded cheerleader who thought she was the greatest until a new person who is smarter and better looking comes to town. Cheerleader McPain can't handle the fact that everyone likes and believes that the new CheerLEADER can make a difference. So, cheerleader McPain starts sabotaging and spreding lies about the new CheerLeader to make this new CheerLeader look bad. But, cheerleader McPain's plans backfires and he is the one lookng like a fool and the new cheerLeader WINS at the end. What is sad is now he has his losing friends trying to help and they end up looking stupid too. The only thing McPain's negative ads are doing is showing the world just what kind of idiot he really is. What are is plans? He won't state his plans because they are to much like President Bush Monkey's. OBAMA 08

It's TIME FOR CHANGE!

Sean   August 4th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

Did Romney say this with a straight face? I mean, he can't really be offended by dishonesty when he's a serious contender for the VP spot to an incredibly dishonest candidate like McCain. Just go to factcheck.org and you'll see a huge list of McCain lies clearly outlined.

Look at the record   August 4th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

When will Obama explain why he voted FOR the Bush-Cheney energy bill?

McCain voted AGAINST that same bill.

Obama is now blaming McCain and the Republicans for U.S. energy problems….no wonder this guy will only agree to 3 debates.

Posn   August 4th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. Mitt Romney looks and sounds dishonest and McCain reminds me of a doddering old fool who is just making up stuff as he goes along. The current situation in this country is not a laughing matter so enough with the jokes and lets see what each presumptive nominee plans are at fixing things i.e. economy, healtcare and Iraq. Tired of the ha ha so not funny. Knock it off.

TN FOR OBAMA   August 4th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

CNN should be ashamed for letting his comments go unchallenged.

LIE from Romney's mouth: during this clip: "…we can rid ourselves of our dependence of foreign oil by simply inflating our tires and tuning up our engines."

TOTALLY UNCHALLENGED, CNN….If I want FAUX news I'll turn to the FAUX NEW CHANNEL.

DO YOUR JOB!!!

worried citizen   August 4th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

I am worried that Mr. McCain did nothing to address our issues while he was in Washington for the last 26 years. Now all of a sudden he wants "change" and he is supposedly independent of the republican party. How does that work for 26 years of McSame?

Bill   August 4th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

Romney called somebody dishonest? Has he ever seen or heard himself? Really!

NoMcSame(NoMrBurns)   August 4th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

Obama doesn't think that he is the Messiah but your leader Joseph Smith did. He was a true racist and you live by his every word. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. You my friend are a follower of the dark side. Joseph Smith was the dishonest one if you ask me and those that follow him and his teachings are going to be cast into the FIRE. That is what the Holy Bible says. The only way to God is through the Son and Joseph Smith is not him and has never seen him or met him.
So be careful when you call another the Messiah.
Obama08 the dream of America

Jay   August 4th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

I'm a Mccain supporter and not exactly a Romney fan but man….saying that Obama's like an internet date…aka..all talk and no substance is hilarious. Romney hit the nail on the head with that!

CNN reader   August 4th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

Romney is a problem solver: he fixed the Olympics and was a genius in business. He will make a great VP and has already been vetted by the media and the people. As seen from many of these posts, there are no complaints of substance against him-just blind intolerance and shrill accusations.

Super delegate NJ   August 4th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

To all you Obamatons in Obamaville get used to three things…
1. Romney is the next Vice President of this Country. Have some RESPECT.
2. Your Candidates numbers will keep going down for he has already hit the ceiling.
3. The white House is not for sale. Obama can Visit though.

Dragon Lady   August 4th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

Hey for once I AGREE with Romney. He may be on to something. Finally someone intelligent SEES Obama for what he is. Now IF ONLY WE CAN GET THE WOMEN TO REALIZE THAT T H E Y H A V E T H E VOTE ! Get out there women of America. Do your thing. Also, put a word in your "men's" ear. Know what I mean? We OUT NUMBER THE MEN. It's been statisticly proven! VOTE for a WOMAN.

OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! 08/12   August 4th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

Well..we have another GOP joke on our hands. Boy do they look dumber and dumber everyday. Romney is a fool and just another GOP liar.

OBAMA IS GOING TO WIN!!!

OBAMA 2008/2012

We're NOT "your friends"!!!   August 4th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

Romney, you look like a slick used car salesman! Your in NO PLACE to be calling anyone dishonest. Why don't you go ship some more AMERICAN JOBS overseas! LOSER!!!!

OBAMA 2008 + 2012

What a shame….America has no hope with politician like McCain and Romney.

Dave   August 4th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

As a Mormon, I really wish that Mitt Romney would stop supporting the dishonest and divisive tactics of the Republican nominee. I hope he realizes that people who don't know a lot about our beliefs look at him as an example, and right now I don't feel that they are getting a positive impression.

Keith, GA   August 4th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

I hope McCain is taking notice. I won't be voting McCain without Romney as VP. Without Romney I will take my swing state Georgia vote and cast it for Bob Barr.

Frank   August 4th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

I guess you Obama followers just can't accept truth. It is dishonest and he should apologize.

JR   August 4th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

If you don't like what McCain is campaigning on, then have give us some intelligent reason why you don't support him. The most intelligent debate here is that "Romney has slick hair." Sounds like high school talk. Obama is a hypocrite. He complains that McCain has taken "oil money" when he himself has taken over $300,000. He takes a position depending on his audience. That's change we can depend on. I also have hope that he will change his position again on other issues.

Obama's solution to high energy costs is to tax oil companies and give the money to the poor. It didn't work too well for the Soviet Union, it won't work here.

Rudy NYC   August 4th, 2008 2:46 pm ET

Dishonest?

Why is that conservatives—or the GOP take your pick—just love to call people names? Usually names that fit themselves better than the target of their own comment.

K   August 4th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

When the real messiah does come it won't be to parades and fanfare and kissing babies, when the real messiah comes you won't even know of his presence except for the violence and chaos that comes with him and that time will be the rapture. Next time Mitt, make comparison's to things you know about and not things that are in a book written by false prophets.

Mel from California   August 4th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

Can't agree more with Donna: POT KETTLE BLACK. This man exuberate dishonesty himself.

Chad   August 4th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

We all know Obama is dishonest. I think the word 'liar' has come up a time or two in connection with his name.

What we really want to know is: WHO IS HIS FATHER?????

The Surly Scholar   August 4th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

Romney referring to Obama as dishonest.

…I think that's how Webster defines "irony."

LLMTruth   August 4th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

That ad was sacrireligious at best and blatantly ignorant at its worst. It just goes to show how desparate the Republican party has become. They don't even show reference for God. There is only one Messiah. Barak Obama has not even made the slightest claim to that effect. That would make that ad a complete lie. Further, the last I checked; "thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." , was also one of the TEN commandments. Apparently, McCain and his crew have no fear of God.

McCain and his minions show absolutely no restraints in his endeavor to become President. Even throwing a contributor's daughter under the bus, mock God's Word (Messiah), out right lie in stating your opponet is the cause of high gas prices; etc; etc…. And remember; " I'm John McCain, and I approve of this message".

Doesn't all these things just attest to the lack of character, and honor on McCain's part? Weren't we lied to about WMD's and Al Qaeda's involvement in Iraq? Now we have another Republican hopeful lying and distorting the truth to us again. The only thing more pathetic than that, is that people will prefer the lie.

And since that ad referenced Scriptures; let me give you one more; in speaking of satan scripture states: "… When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." So you see, when we give our cherished vote to someone that willfully lies, what does that say about us? What does that say about you, McCain supporter. I mean if one believes in that kind of stuff, which some don't but many do, then one should consider what would God think of McCain's idea of funny? So, this is the guy who has the proper judgment to run this nation? Yeah, I bet, run this country straight into a deeper hole than what we find ourselves in today. Go ahead put this funny man into office and watch the plight of us working folks.

You'll have no one to blame, but yourself………..

Danel   August 4th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Any wonder how Obama is feeling these days? He is getting beat up left and right by the kind of McCain's goons and now here's come Mitty!! Obama should employ some attack dogs in his corner. Happy birthday Sen. Obama!!

CywBenz   August 4th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

Well, there you have it America, a picture of the next "wanna be president" who is also our NUMBER 1 used car salesman, "Mitt the McCain's My Master Romney." Pathetic - Mitt Romney is another one in the back pocket of the big oil companies along with John McCain and Dubya. I wonder which one of the three of them pocketed the most from the big oil companies profits? Who is their right mind would believe anything that comes out of this fool's lying mouth?

Romney, John McCain and his campaign need to take those tire gauges the McCain campaign handed out today in an attempt to mock ONE OF Senator Obama's MANY proven and sensible idea on energy conservation, and CHECK THAT LOW ROAD EXPRESS THEY ARE RIDING ON!

guido   August 4th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

I see all the liberal, no (pun) it alls are sounding off on things they hear from NBC or MSNBC the two most one sided stations in america. Lets face it Obama is a fake and will change with the tide. McCain is only slightly better. So shut up you liberal big mouths and do real research before you open your pie hole

How ironic that Romney could call anyone else dishonest. He has sold his soul to the devil (MCCain). Give me a break.

TC   August 4th, 2008 2:35 pm ET

Romney, sit down and shut up because everyone knows the GOP made you quit the race. Now sit back and watch from the sideline. I cannot believe how McCain and his campaign are acting like kids. Let's stay focused on the issue and quit playing games with ads of young rich white girls that apparently has too much money on their hands. Let's stay on track and figure out a way to help American recover from this mess the GOP has gotten us into over the past 7 years.

Yan, Minneapolis   August 4th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

The only person that is dishonest in the election is McSame and his cohort– Romney in particular. Please run that "NO MITT" ad on New York Times again!!

So, who should be McSame's VP running mate? Here is my thought:

McSame/Romney– so they could flip-floping & lying all the time together like a pair of dolphin. Sorry Romney himself could do just that plus terrorizing his family dog

McSame/ Brett Favre– same reason as above

McSame/Bob Dole– They could run a Viagara ad together spying Britney Spear

McSame/Giuliani– so they could compare notes how to cheat on their wives

McSame/Thompson– so they could fall asleep together during the presidential debate

McSame/Cris– two could ride on a shrimp boat and punch holes along our coastal areas

McSame/LIEberman– so McSame could get a timely reminder

Billy Rave Valentine-Capricorn   August 4th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

I blame the media for not following up with a real question. Throughout this campaign negative accusations have not been addressed thoroughly. Instead of investigating the truth, (for the most part) the media only comment on how the attacks will effect voters.

I think it's a shame and irresponsible reporting.

And for Romney..He can't help it…He's from Kentucky.

wake up   August 4th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

i hope McCain picks him….but the truth is he looks more Presidential and more intelligent than the $1,100,000.00 from oil comp., 59 LOBBYIST running his campaign for him, i have no plan of my own McCain…anyone voting McCain must be happy with the Republican Administration

MikeH   August 4th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

I wonder whicih one of the three of them pocketed the most from the big oil company profits? Who is their right mind would believe anything that comes out of his lying mouth!

Romney, John McCain and his camp need to take those tire gauges that McCain gave out today (calling himself mocking Senator Obama's energy plan, but making himself look stupid and jurenile as usual) and AND CHECK THAT "LOW ROAD EXPRESS THEY'RE RIDING ON!"

I'm torn whether I would like to see this guy on McCain's ticket or Lieberman.

I mean - I'd love to vote against Lieberman again, but Romney will get a bunch of fat cats to throw away their millions like he did during the primaries. That has appeal too.

Ahhh, what a dilemma!

@Jesse - San Antonio TX August 4th, 2008 11:22 am ET

He was framed as one by Obama and His campaign to nullify what truths Bill was speaking about the qualifications of Obama. They tried to do it against McCain, then retracted their comments when the were caught.
Time and time again, if you say anything about Obama your deemed racist or ignorant on these boards.
The race card has been used as a guilt tool by the campaign to make you want to vote for Obama despite his lack of qualifications.
His feverent supporters (probably paid bloggers) are so disillusioned by this guys celebrity that anything he says or does is justified.
Like a bunch of sheep off to the slaughter.
And becuase America chose wrong in the primaries, we are going to have another Republican in the White House.
____________________________________________________-
hello, you seem to be making some real serious allegations, Obama NEVER mentioned race McCAin did. and there are so many other reasons you are deemed racist and ignorant…it has nothing to do w/ Obama…that's all you!!! and you might want to spell check next time, did you graduate 5 from last like McCain?

Goodman Fredrick   August 4th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

I thought Mr. McCain is a man of character who will not play divisive and dirty politics, but he has played the celebrity card, the Messiah card, the inexperience card and the leftist card. On analysis of these Ads and given the history of this country, Mr. McCain has played a sophiscated racist card

Erin in Edmonds WA   August 4th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Sounds familiar - didn't John Mc Keating 5 call Mitt Romney the same kinds of things, and much more during the run for the nomination. Looks like a little rear end kissing on the part of Romney in favor of the ticket that he hopes to be on.

I expect that ANY ad in which a candidate is trying to talk about the issues and differences between themselves and the other candidate should be intelligent and informative, not juvenile and mocking. If John McCain thinks that we all have the same infantile sense of humor he does, he better stop by a garage and let the air out of his head. The presidency is not a joke–and campaign ads should be directed at serious comparisons and issues. Go ahead McCain/Romney–have your laughs. In the end, the joke will be on you.

proud army and navy mom   August 4th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

is this the same idiot that lied and said he or his dad marched with MLK just to get some votes in the repug's primary.

That is absolutely laughabe coming from this romney.

Terri, Independent Thinker from Texas   August 4th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

This coming for a man is campaigning for the only candidate that has stooped to the lowest level since this race began? Give me a break! How can he possibly call Sen Obama dishonest? McCain has been anything but honest during this whole campaign. His most recent attack ads border on stupidity, yet he's "proud of the ads". Until this past week I had some respect for McCain but that has rapidly diminished. After all, wasn't he the one who vowed to "keep the race free of negativity". Now who is "dishonest"?

Shawn   August 4th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Nice to see the Obama Defense Force out and about. It's too bad that saying McCain is in the pocket of big oil is a stretch. True, people working for oil companies have given McCain about 2 million last I heard. But Obama has recieved about 300K.

The correct attack would be "John McCain is in the pocket of big oil. I am too, but he is in deeper. "

El Kababa   August 4th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Romney wants to be vice president badly. McCain is 70, has had a bad brush with a serious form of cancer, and it is likely that he will not finish his second or even his first term. If you can't go in the front door, try the back door.

Of all the candidates who frighten me, and there are several, Romney is by far the most disturbing. His Mormon beliefs don't run very deep, and who really cares what he thinks the anges' names are. His CEO attitude is the scary part of his personality.

He believes that crappy jobs, no benefits, no social security, no medicare, no public health care for children, no regulation over corporations, and no rights in the work place would make America a better country. He may not look evil and he would be surprised to learn that people think of him as evil. Imagine a president with all of George Bush's attitudes, except very very smart. If that is not frightening to you, then I don't know what to say.

Xavier, Saint Louis, Missouri   August 4th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Please! The GOP, Romney, Bush and McNutts are the Biggest Stooges in the U.S history! They are just so jealous of Obama that they can't see the forest for the trees. Can you smell the hate in the air that these guys are cooking?

Three words for these Stooges: YES WE CAN!

Romney of course has to talk good about Mc Cain.

That’s why Obama is dishonest, inexperience what more?
But at least Obama is exactly where Romney couldn’t even dream to be with all his honesty and experience and of course his MILLIONS.

is it me or does Romney literally CREAP you out? I hope McCain picks him as a running mate. He's a textbook, disgusting politician with his newscaster hair and fake smile. It's like when McCain says something about war and gets that little smile on his face. And you want this guy in charge of the nukes? LOL WOW America.
These are like old grown men playing war games! SCAREY STUFF!

HOW DARE HE CALL OBAMA DISHONEST, HE IS THE MOST HONEST CANDIDATE EVER, HE SAYS MCCAIN IS HUMOROUS, HE IS AS HUMOROUS AS A HOCKEY PUCK!!!! HE IS ALSO A WAR MONGER, DISHONEST, {OH SORRY} A LIAR, AND A CARBON COPY OF BUSH, THE GOP. IS SO DESPERATE THAT THEY WILL KEEP SLINGING MUD AT OBAMA RIGHT UP TILL THE CONVENTION, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY OBAMA DOES NOT FIGHT BACK, THAT IS HOW KERRY LOST, BECAUSE HE DID NOT FIGHT BACK, THE DEMS. DO NOT HAVE THE SAME VICIOUS TACTICS THE GOP HAS, FOR ONE THING THEY HAVE THE ROVE BRAIN BEHIND THEM, AND THAT IS ABOUT AS LOW AS YOU CAN GET! IT SCARES ME TO THINK THAT MCCAIN COULD WIN GOD FORBID!!!!!

Elvin Roman   August 4th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Considering his faith,( which until recently, Mormons believed that colored people became so, by means of Gods curse) Mitt Romney should not even be in a political office that serves the multitude of diverse people here in America. One word…bias

"Oil and gas industry executives and employees donated $1.1 million to McCain last month - three-quarters of which came after his June 16 speech calling for an end to the ban - compared with $116,000 in March, $283,000 in April and $208,000 in May." AP July 28, 2008

What is Romney say Obama lied about? McCain received over 200% increases in donations from oil and gas excetutives after he announced he is for offshore drilling. This is not coming from the Obama campaing, it is coming from independent media sources.

Justice 4 All   August 4th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Don't blame Obama because of the thousands of people that want to hear him speak, or for those who just want to be in his presence. Your jealousy is too obvious. You hate this man for no reason.
Even if Romney, McCain, and even Bush had an event together, they still could not draw not even a 1/3 of those numbers from their own supporters.

Tell Romney to stop kissing up in all likelihood he will be McCain running mate. Then the fireworks will begin - I would not want to be involved with someone so close that I dislike.

Perla   August 4th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Well, Mitt can construct a better sentence than McGaffe, that's for sure. But all the polish and pomade in the world cannot dress-up failed policies. Tax breaks for the rich didn't trickle-down under Bush, and they won't under McSame either.

Will McSame and his buddies ever say something positive about McSame? Of course not - nothing positive to say - no one wants to hear the chant, "Four more years! Four more years!" McSame tries to crack jokes (bad ones at that) because he realizes the American public won't listen to him when he tries to be serious - mainly because he's so completely ignorant about most of the issues!

Talk about out-of-touch with reality.

Hey GOP…..get a grip!!! Unfairly attacking Obama…..and the fear and smear Campaign thing, didn't work for Billary…..and it won't work for you either.

You are just practicing the same old dirty Politics that have turned Voter's off for years.

That is why Obama will win by a landslide.

Obama IS Change.

Henry n New York   August 4th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

That's strange. Usually when you accuse an opponent of being dishonest you actually point out what the dishonest thing was. I wonder who's being dishonest when that fact is being omitted.

But, more importantly, is this a political, presidential campaign or a stand up comedy routine. The McCain gave out tire pressure gauges as a joke with the words "Obama's Energy Plan" on them. I wonder how much they cost. This from a campaign that complained about the amount of money it had available for actual campaigning.

More and more I'm getting the impression that John McCain is like the joker running one of if not the most prestigious positions in the world with responsibilities far beyond any he has ever held. And he spends 10's of thousand of dollars on jokes…………..

obama is unfit to be president of this country   August 4th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Obama supporters are the lowest life form on this planet. Who are you slimp people with such dirty mouths and minds. There's nothing intellengent about you. You know, obama may very well win (steal) the presidency but ALL you sick people will be scumbags for the rest of your life. You'll never change. You will always be the litter that fills our streets.

John McCain
Voted for the Prohibit Partial Birth Abortion bill in 2003 and "yes" for Prohibiting Funds for Groups that Perform Abortions amendment in 2007. Believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned. Supports Supreme Court ruling upholding the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act.
Watch McCain speak about abortion

Romney is as bad as McCain. Neither one would know the truth if it hit them in the face.

As far as I am concerned, I didn't find anything funny about any of his ads. I found them offensive. I am a Christain and I believe in God. This is using the Lord to further his agenda and should have never happened. If this is what we are going to get in the White House, then God Bless all of us.

While Barack is busying opening up offices in "red" states and registering voters and laying out his energy policy, McSenile's campaign is buying tire gauges to mock Obama.

The type of "humor" that they think is so funny is similar to McCain's very funny version of "bomb bomb Iran, the comment about sending cigarettes to kill Iranians, laughing over an audience member calling Hillary a B—. When asked about the stupid Spears and Hilton ad, McCain laughed and said they were having some fun. I can see them at their strategy sessions finding ways to smear Obama. These people are sick!! Isn't 8 yrs of this stupid stuff enough!!!

Nolonger Republican Obamacan all the way 08   August 4th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

I saw that interview and when the report pressed Romney on the issues he back tracked.
What Obama said was Big Oil companies gave McCain 1.2 million, and that McCain wants to give Big Oil companies an additional 4.1 billion in tax brakes.
Romney’s first responses was " Obama is being dishonest."
However when the reporter told Romney that the New York Times reported that in fact McCain did get 1 million for oil executive Romney back tracked and said “well people who work for oil companies also donated to Obama campaign as well. So apparently McCain did get the 1.something million from Oil executives! Who is being dishonest!!! Shame on you Mitt.
Regarding the tax brakes Romney said the Obama is being dishonest about McCain giving Oil Companies an additional 4 billion in tax brakes, well again the report said McCain is in fact supporting this tax cut, and Romney came back and said well he is giving that tax brake to ALL companies, again is Obama being dishonest??? That would be a NO! This is the problem with the McCain group they talk out the side of there mouth, they tell half truth! Why do they think that the people will not understand the words that come out of their mouths…? I am sick of them insulting my and my fellow Americans intelligence. We need to send the GOP a message, we are sick of your lies because a half truth is always of whole lie!

On the other hand, we have McCain offering a tire gauge, peeks at Britney and Paris, and a cameo by John's old buddy, Moses. This is going to be a very difficult decision"

From the Republican play book. Lie, lie lie, then call your opponent a liar. Give your surrogates this list of lies. Repeat, them again and gain, so much so that the public is confused, and then when your opponent and journalist call you on your lies, just hold your ground, ignore the logic being pressed in your face, and just repeat the lie again and again.

One problem- it does not appear to be working!!! The Republicans are running out of the stupid, gullible and ignorant.

Kelby from Houston, TX   August 4th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

NO ROMNEY, It's the Republican Party that's been giving America 'The SHAFT'. Senator Obama has been VERY HONEST with the American People, example:

(1) America will need to be MORE RESPONSIBLE
(2) America will need to be FLEXIBLE TO CHANGE
(3) America will need to PREPARE FOR THE 21st CENTURY
(4) America will need to CREATE A NEW ENERGY ALTERNATIVE

This is the HONESTY that Senator Obama brings

Mr. Romney, do you know why you lost the primary despite being the "More Bushie than Bush himself"? Because your religeous beliefs did not conform to that of the bigots in your party. If you have any self respect left, you will leave this party. Perhaps there is none left.

To call the ad "humor" from the McCain camp is the deception, Mr. Romney. Don't turn it around. You are doing everything to mock Obama and his supporters right now. Just pray it will not win this time!

As Ghandi (I believe) said: "First they ignore you ….. then they mock you……., then you win". Let it be so!

Obama is a dishonest politician. The worst this country has seen in years. Hes arrogant and full of himself. He plays the race card whenever he can. He's a whiner and a loser. The same with his wife. Thanks for ignoring the troops in Germany to boost your own ego Obama. You are the Paris Hilton of Politics and you'll have the same ending of crashing and burning.

McCain is extremely dishonest and has a 'cry baby' tone to his ads. He is jealous he isn't getting as much media attention because he's boring. He has to resort to these kinds of ads so he can get some attention and still its not working. Keep it coming McCain and the republicans. Its kind of funny that the party that has put this nation in this mess in almost 8 years still have the audacity to come out and speak and with the same policy proposals at that. Romney will be really disappointed if McCain picks someone else as his VP. He may start being a cry baby as well because as much as the Republicans go around thwarting their masculinity on everything they are soft inside and Romney certain looks like he's an extreme case of this.

JB   August 4th, 2008 1:38 pm ET

The Obama Campaign has been pretty slow in responding to GOP attacks. When they get some of their own medicine they don't like it.

Let's face it there is very little difference between McCain (McNasty) and Bush and Obama needs to keep saying that.

Also, why hasn't Obama had an ad with McCain saying he doesn't really know much about the economy, and Phil Graham saying its all in our heads. The Demos need to give a message: if you keep up these attacks you are going to get some of your own medicine.

How come CNN has Romney's response and not Obama's ad. Everytime McNasty has one of his pathetic ads we see it all over the TV, over and over again.

Deb, Allentown, PA   August 4th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

Romney used to be somewhat respectable, as McCain was at one point in their lives. Their shift to the far right to appease the right-wing conservatives has turned them into half the men they used to be. It's amazing what a McCain lap dog Romney has become. Guess he really wants to try to get into the White House and the more he sucks up to McCain, the greater chance he'll be tapped as VP.

Eric   August 4th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

So you have Obama talking about energy plan and military families working group, and you have the McCain camp making fun of a proven energy saving procedure and Romney having to defend those childish ads and being unable to make the point Obama's ad was dishonest.

Just a typical Monday in the news.

Obama-Junkie, IL   August 4th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

It shows McCain got $1.1 million from oil companies,
Obama got a little bit too, but not nearly half has much!!!
So That's not dishonesty Romney, that's using the truth to criticize your opponent.
Maybe you should explain the last 5 ads from McCain and thier validity.

This is the race for the Presidency of the United States of America!
Not Last Comic Standing! Yet here comes Nitwit Romney, talking
jibberish. The GOP is a three ring circus, and Mitt does nothing more
than drive the clown car. I can't wait for November so we don't have
to hear from the likes of Romney, Leiberman, and Tucker Bounds
ever again.

Watch out MCCain, this loser fella will do anything to get on the ticket. His real goal is to become president, he will do anything to reach his goal. I wont take this guy if I was MCCain, i will fear for my safety.

Please pick this guy, Mr. McCain. Pretty please!
