CNN

Yes, Good Ad. McSame is an extension of Bush. They support the same failed policies. No Thanks McSame. I expect a REAL change. Change We Can Believe In. Obama for President 08

Cue the Republicans whining about the so-called attack ads.....

They can't take what they dish out. Even more to their chagrin, these ads are more truthful than the ones they run. They hit too close to home and it hurts their feelings, poor things.

What is it they always like to say? If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Cry-babies

Brandon:
It sure would be nice if you would present some facts instead of a bunch of rhetoric, oh I'm sorry you have no facts to back up your rhetoric. You need to learn a thing or two about the Constitution, no President can simply do away with an amendment. If you paid attention in school you would know it take a 2/3rd majority vote in Congress plus 2/3rd of the states to ratify the change.

Illinois school problem is a state problem, we are having the same problem here in Nevada. Seeing that the schools in Illinois get their money from the state budget, I do not see how a US Senator controls this fact. Reed or Ensign have no control of the Nevada State budget, it presides in the purview of the state legislators and the governor.

As far as federal funding for the schools, you need to put the blame where it belongs and that would be with our current President. He has decided a war is more important than our children's education. The real problem here is why am I having to explain simple facts you should already be aware of, answer that question for me please.

Conservatives should start a boycott against CNN for their biased election coverage.

McCain missed several votes on energy bills, and when he does vote its AGAINST renewable energy or increases in mpg standards.

Now he is pandering and pretending he cares... hes been in Washington for ages, why didn't he care about energy until this month?

McCain has no energy plan. He's in the pocket of the rich oil men just like George Bush is. He'll sell away all of our natural resources for a song. What do you expect though from a guy who doesn't even know the price of gas.

Obama is a suit, nothing more.

Must be that Democrats sleep until 5:00 in the afternoon. The blog crap!

Why couldn't CNN link to the Obama add?? They certainly ran the McCain ad a few thousand times since Friday. Way to help McBush with free air time!

McCain And His 4 Billion Dollar Shoes!
Drill Drill Drill, If It's Inland First!

Go Obama speak up for yourself-RNC is playing the same old games
ex[ecting the same results it won't work this time.

Let McCain put Cindy in Cow chip contest she might win then the RNC can put that in a commerical.

There is nothing positive about Mccain.
He wants to tap into ANWR when there is no guarantee that that oil will even stay within the US for consumption. He wants to sell it to the Chinese or Indians, so you can kiss that preserve goodbye.

McCain is a buffoon. We don't need another president as stupid or even more stupid than the one we have right now.
ANOTHER four years? I don't think so.

Obama ! Obama! Obama!

President Elect

If you want to see what Obama is going to do for you, take a look at what he has done for Illinois. NOTHING! Now thats change you can believe in. He is all talk and reads speeches written by a 23 year old. You have been bamboozled.

Anyone NOT making over 150K per year (single income), is nuts to vote for McCain. He has the exact same agenda as Bush and will allow the top one percent (richest of the rich) and lobbyist to keep a stranglle hold on special interests that profit them, at our expense. If you vote for McCain, don't cry when it's your job that gets outsourced to India or China. Chances are you're NOT rich, so why would you vote for a politician that caters to the rich? You can't be that ignorant...can you?

insane in the membrane.old man time is catching up McCaine.
you can't keep playing the same repug game and not expect a smack down.

MCSAME TIME TO GO IN RETIREMENT MODE..

Obama is the last person who should be throwing mud at McCain.

This Democrat would much rather have a Maverick in the White House than a Democrat who participated in a RACIST CHURCH for over 20 years.

True Democrats will VOTE NO Obama

I heard that Oboma has found a way to Flip on Drilling offshore. He found it to be a lot Cheaper and a lot faster then any one else. He could just Raise his arms and Part the water. So drilling can be at ground level and faster and safer to produce oil. He has my vote, I am a long time Independent.

Hi, Brandon:

Listen! McCain couldn't remember to pay his property tax. He also incurred more than $250,000 of credit card debt. Did he fix the housing crisis in his home state? Following your logic, tell me how McCain qualify as the President. McCain was born in Panama. He should not be qulified to run for President of USA. Bush is tapping your phone calls & e-mails and you called that protecting your Constitution Bill of Right. WAKE UP!! Don't take pride of being ignorant!

Harley Rider August 5th, 2008 7:56 pm ET

If Obama becomes President will the Secret Service have to start wearing Bow Ties?
_________________________________________
No, and they won't have to wear bibs or depends if Mccain wins either.

It's about time. Hit me once shame on you. Hit me again shame on me. Go get him OBAMA!

There's nothing MAVERICK about McCain any more.

He's nowhere close to being an INDEPENDANT either... he is true GOP slime and it only took the GOP 8 years to corrupt him. He has become everything he once abhorred. Right down to becoming an 'oil man' and furthering the lack-of-intelligence mentality Dubya made popular.

Offshore oil-drilling will NOT make any difference, and THIS COMES FROM THE EXPERTS IN THE INDUSTRY AND THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

Oil is the crack cocaine that feeds the republican habit.

John MCbush is old ,senile, and a big fat lier. can we trust this man in the white house? No we can't Obama in 08.

To clear the air about "negative ads"
A negative ad is one that is personal, has nothing to do with the issues, and tries to ridicule the candidate in a NEGATIVE way.
If it uses facts, is regarding an issue, and has something to do with what, we as Americans are facing these days, it is then considered a political ad.
So lets look at what the candidates are talking about and I think you will see who really cares about the issues.

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so." How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar – Julius Caesar

oooooohhhhhhhh, what a hit, I knew that someday he would be disguised and confronted with the real hypocrite that he is.
keep up the good work mr President!!!!!!

Paris Hilton for President

Brandon, It won't work this time.

Obama 08

McCain is right not only on Offdhore drilling for oil and gas, Clean Coal , and Nuclear Power ,,plants as many as we can build in the next 5 years.
The nation of FRANCE has more nuclear power plants and doing OK
with no accidents and they get more electricity from them than we do.
Obama sure did not even notice this remarkable achievement in France when he went to Europe and that is why Obama opposes these sources of energy that McCain is proposing. AND 70 to 75% of Americans are in favor
of McCain's plans and proposals for Energy independnce.

Marie your'e a fool – McNothing will follow in Bush's footsteps – he'll do what he can to take away alot of womens' rights cause he's got no real respect for women so you're a really stupid PUMA

CNN you are a joke with your claim that your impartial. You are so pro McCain it is discusting

Brandon, are you for real? You obviously didn't go to school and learn how to research facts. Are the schools in Tx perfect? Better yet, are the schools right outside the whitehouse in DC perfect? Why does do the Ill. schools have to be perfect? Does it have to do with the fact that Senator Obama is an educated man? WOW, you people never cease to amaze me.

McSame's hanging out with bikers at Sturgis did nothing to repair eight years of the BuschReich's witless world-wide "me-first diplomacy"; Obama's appearance before 200,000 enthusiastic Germans DID. Don't forget: the President is not just the President of the US; he's the "leader of the free world." Busch single-handedly crashed the national and world economies, contributed to pollution and global warming, ran the US budget into multi-billion-dollar deficit, etc. etc. etc. ... it will be up to President OBAMA to try and fix that mess, though it DOES resemble the Aegean Stables. That said, I know where the HOSE needs to go: the US Capitol *and* the White House.

If they can't run the country responsibly, then VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE ... Republican OR Democrat.

The flipflops are piling up
out of touch, out of ideas

AN BLATANT DIS-CONNECT BETWEEN OBAMA AND BAYH: Must be Obama wants Indiana badly enough to "gloss over" the obvious:

• Bayh supported Hillary Clinton NOT Obama during the primaries.
• Bayh was an early supporter of the Bush administration's policies on Iraq. On October 2, 2002, Bayh joined President George W. Bush and Congressional leaders in a Rose Garden ceremony announcing their agreement on the joint resolution authorizing the Iraq War
• Bayh's record is one of a genuinely FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE Democrat - TOTALLY UNLIKE ULTRA-LIBERAL "SPEND-SPEND" OBAMA.
• Bayh was selected by Bill Clinton to give the keynote address at the 1996 Democratic National Convention to reinforce his efforts to cast himself and the Democratic Party with a new MODERATE image - CLEARLY UNLIKE ULTRA-LIBERAL OBAMA.
• Evan Bayh appeared on CNN's Late Edition in January 2006 and referred to the "radical, almost delusional nature of the Iranian regime" and . . . their recent sponsoring of terrorism, their search for a nuclear weapon - ought to be a wake-up call to every American. APPEASEMENT WON'T WORK - CLEARLY UNLIKE ULTRA-LIBERAL OBAMA.

BAYH IS THE TOTAL ANTITHESIS TO OBAMA. Interesting how they would make this work - ONE of them would have to concede something - CLEARLY OBAMA DOES NOT SHARE BAYH'S VIEWS - BECAUSE C LEARLY OBAMA IS AN ULTRA LIBERAL - AND NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BAYH'S MODERATE VIEWS!

Go figure!

McCains plan for the surge has been an incredible proof of judgement. Obamas position against the surge shows his lack of judgement when it comes to security, which in the end means saving precious life. Obama who obviously wanted the surge to fail which meant more soldiers getting blown up and dying just for his own political gain in 08 is disgusting. It makes all other issues he's been flip flopping on irelevant. Obama is just not fit to lead a great nation. His ego is his weakness.

YES! McSAME IS THE...SAME!!! LOL. HAHA.

I LOVE THAT OBAMA IS FIGHTIN BACK!

I LOVE YOU, OBAMA!!! WOOOHOOO...OBAMA!!!

OBAMA 2008/2012

John McCain calls himself a MAVERICK. We don't need another maverick president. We need a president that will work across the aisle to solve Americas great quantity of problems which have been brought upon us by the great decider – George Bush. Go it alone Bush is his own MAVERICK. I have had my fill of MAVERICKs!

Vote Wisley!

and brandon, where you born stupid or did you study to get that way?

McCain is worse than Bush.

They said the same things about JFK as they are saying about Obama.

You've seen the results.

McCain and Bush are not only locked in step they are also locked in mind. And that greatly concerns me. Eight years of the Bush Warped Mentality, Arrogance and Dictatorship should open the eyes of anyone even considering a vote for McSame.

McFear Mongers:
NOT THIS TIME! THIS TIME WE FIGHT BACK!

PUMA = Poor Unwise Mindless Anarchist a.k.a. during this election I PUMA sycophant voted as a Democrat but I am a Republican in disguise working toward them winning at any cost.

And Obama said he was a different kind of candidate and would run a clean campaign. Obama is just like any other politicians. Tells you what you want to hear and does just the opposite. Who does Obama think he is kidding?

Obama is just a big Flip-Flopper!

The only way that he is going to beat McCain in November is by having Hillary Clinton on the ticket as his VP. Better yet, if at the convention the delegates will vote instead of for Obama, that they would change their vote and vote Hillary Clinton as their nominee. So Cooool!

Bill and others: Responding to false attacks, and pointing out the fallacies IN THE POLICIES of one's opponent is NOT what is meant by "negative campaigning"!!

"Negative campaigning" involves attacking the person and the character, which in theory is fine (since we want a fine person of good character as the President) if done without distortion and lies, and if done without playing to the worst of fears and prejudices.

It is appropriate–and NECESSARY–to point out the weaknesses in the opponent's policy positions.

Read the editoral in today's San Francisco Chronicle about Obama's flip-flops from a newspaper that endorsed him over Clinton, that thought he was the 2nd coming – not anymore. They hit the nail on the head. Obama's flip-flops are nothing more than trying to score points with the American voter. He must think this is a basketball game and we are the spectators. This guy doesn't know the difference between loyalty and whining, between committment and "it's all about me". What a fool.

Commenting on the tire gauge thing, the post had closed when I read it. If the republicans claim by Obama's statement that his energy policy is properly inflating our tires then are we to think that John McCain's health care plan is the application of sunscreen because he made a speech about the importance of using sunscreen? Should Democrats be laughing and throwing tubes of sun screen around? I would rather see everyone act adult and say OK sunscreen helps protect from cancer and proper tire pressure saves gas and move on to real issues. No more race cards or celebrity and talk of how good things will be at the end of the first term and more talk of how we will get there.

Obama tells his supporters that half of America is ignorant , the Republican half, while at the same time telling them that it was McCain, and not him, that backed Bush's energy plan!?

Ooops.., call the progressive media! Cover over, political makeup! Put a rush on it!!!

The Obama strategy is to define McCain as a Bush clone blah-blah-blah. If that is the clearest message he can muster he will fail. Sounds like a pretty shallow game plan to me. If he's really serious about winning he'd stop trying to run against Bush and point by point critique McCain's ideas for campaign finance reform, immigration reform, and the most recent idea a league of Democracies throughout the world. Then, he'd propose his own ideas and argue why they're better.

Hey Who Cares, what you fail to realize is that if John McLIAR wins this election, the toilet will be FLUSHED. and EVERY ONE of us is gonna wind up in the septic tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CNN, please LINK the AD!!. Let the American people see the facts for themselves.

It's hard to believe some of OBAMA's mentality calling JOHN McCAIN ignorant. First of all, YES inflated tires can help on gas mileage. Driving at 40-milers PHR also can help. Letting your car coast down a will help. Never stop and start driving again through cities just keep your foot to the petal and drive 40-miles-hour right on through this will help. BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN NOT SEE THAT IT IS AN ECONOMIC ENERGY PLAN. BUT THEN I'M NOT A SENATOR FROM IL. WITH ABOUT SIX MONTHS OF EXPERIENCE ON THE HILL. PLEASE DEAR LORD COME TO OUR AID BECAUSE US STUPID AMERICANS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH GUMPTION TO HELP OURSELVES. I keep waiting for OBAMA to go to tap dancing after one of his speeches on what he has planned for America.

Brandon August 5th, 2008 8:32 pm ET

So much for change. Obama wouldn't know change if it bit him in the butt. All he does is preach the same Democratic BS. The only difference is that he uses bigger words. If he can't fix the schools in his home state than I shutter to think about what he would do to the country. At least President Bush doesn't want to take away our rights according to our Constitution. Obama wants to burn the Constitution, especially the 2nd amendment. He can't just pick apart the Constitution, (keep the parts he likes and take away the parts he doesn't like)
-------------------------------

You "shutter" to think about what he would do to the country?..sounds like you need to go BACK to school. It's "SHUDDER", not "shutter"..lord.. you're the backwoods, inbred type that put Bush into power, I can tell by your lack of intelligence in your post..as for the Constitution, are you f@cking KIDDING ME?? Have you forgotten what Bush and his maggots have done to the Constitution? Go back to your pickup truck and make love to your mutt "sport" for a while will ya?

You go Obama. Just keep hitting them with the truth. Good for you.

it's interesting that you see John McCain is running ad in order to show the American people how he is different from George bush but what he didn't mention he voted 90 percent of the time with George Bush.

Marie in California August 5th, 2008 7:57 pm ET

Saying McCain is another Bush is like saying Obama is another JFK. Both are far, far, far from reality.

McCain can't sink as low as Bush, while Obama could never ascend to the greatness of JFK, no matter how hard he tried. In fact, he wouldn't even be good enough to shine JFK's shoes!

Instead, Obama is a Far Left extremist mushball like Jimmy Carter….and we don't need a second Carter term in the presidency. The first one was disastrous enough!

I'll vote Democrat again when the party gives me someone I can vote for……but……in the meantime……

If not Hillary, then McCain!

PUMA
-------------------------------–
Your whole argument just fell apart and dived into the realm of STUPID with those last two sentences at the end..

McCain and Bush remind me of the Newhart show regulars I'm Darryl and this is my brother Darryl. Yup: McCain and Bush are Darryl and Darryl.

Linda I totally agree with you. If McCain wants to endanger the country with nuclear power plants, then let's turn Arizona into the power hub for the entire country. Fill the entire state with nuclear power plants and let them keep their nuclear waste (in perpetuity) because I don't want any of that radioactive stuff driven through my neighborhood.

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the

Just waiting for the November elections.

I am writing in Hillary Clinton in honor of all the young Obama supporters who trashed her during the primaries and also in honor of Obama's attempts at stopping the primary process before all states had voted.

"Iraq's oil-fueled surplus could hit $80 billion, report says"

You see guys, why you think I wanna get on the action?? The market is hot!! Super duper Hot!!! LOL!!!

I don't see anything positive about McStupid. He isn't a maverick by any stretch of the imagination, he can't utter a coherant statement without fumbling with his words. He can't even get the words "four dollar a gallon" out of his mouth in front of 50,000 bikers in Sturgis for Gods sake! He has agreed with Bush on everything and will force this country to endure God knows how many more years in Iraq/and or Afghanistan. He's a joke and I hope the untelligent people in this country wake up before November and vote for Obama. He won't walk in lock step with anyone.

I still have not seen McCain talk about specifics on RENEWABLE energy sources other than Nuclear and his $300 million giveaway.
We need specifics McCain, Enough of this Drilling gimick, Wind, solar, and geo is the way. DIVERSITY IS KEY!!!!
Not just Dilling and Nuclear
OBAMA 08

Spot on Linda! I don't want a nuclear power plant in my city either. Senator Obama's plan calls for some consideration to nuclear energy after all other measures have been explored. And, I don't think anyone can forget 3 mile island, I know I can't!

MCCAIN wants to give people making over $3 million a year the biggest tax cut of all. Go to the Tax Policy Center to read their new report. CNN reporters don't know about this apparently. it actually has to do with substance rather than hype.

Brandon, WE WON'T EVEN GO THERE ABOUT THE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA! I'm sure it's perfect since McCain is the Senator of that state, if that your thinking? Yeah, I thought not. As always Brandon, I will you maturity, as soon as you reach it.

Thank you Linda! I DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT A NUCLEAR PLANT ANYWERE NEAR WHERE I AND MY FAMILY RESIDE! And, I will never forget 3 mile island, nor will I forget that the US Navy just recently reported a nuclear sepage aboard one of the ships which is about the size of a 5lb bag of flour, which in my opinion is a significant amount. Once nuclear waste seeps out, guess where it goes? Then, where will the nuclear waste be stored; we're still finding places to store the nuclear waste we already have. As a tiny part of his comprehensive energy plan, Senator Obama has said he would consider it, but will tap all of the other resources he has put forth first. Senator Obama is thnking of us, his children and family and the future of America.

I am waiting for the debates, with great anticipation. It should be very interesting to see how McSame will answer all those awful truths about his abysmal voting record, and how much he actually agrees with the worst president in this country's history.

"Hillary Clinton to campaign for Obama"
--------------

If Hillary Clinton does ANYTHING OTHER than pay Obama lip-service - which she HAS to do to keep the corrupt DNC happy - I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HER AGAIN! EVER! And I will NEVER again contribute to Bill Clinton's foundation - and I have contributed plenty in the past!

Come on, Clintons - you don't have to support a liar and cheat. YOU have proven yourselves over and over as people of substance - and YOU KNOW THAT OBAMA IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FAIRLY TALE (I MEAN . . NIGHTMARE)!

instead of having our oil companies drill and recover our own oil and make billions why dont we ask chavez or russia or ademajarhead or even china do it. SOMEBODYS GONNA GET PAID FOR THE OIL DUMB DUMBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOULD YOU LEFT LEANING BEHEADER OPPRESSOR SYMPATHIZERS PREFER A SOCIALIST, COMMY, OR RELIGIOUS NUT JOB REGIME GET YOUR 2.50 A GALLON AT THE PUMP. ITS BETTER TO LET MEN THINK YOU A FOOL THAN OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND REMOVE ALL DOUBT. GET REAL YOU HIPPIE OBAMAJOBS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. STOP SMOKIN THAT STUFF TOO!!!!!!!

McCain is in lock step with big oil and we know that by the amount of money that has appeared in his coffers in the last few weeks. That is bad news for "regular" Americans...no more Republicans. Vote Democrat this year to keep America safe.

THE WAY TO GO OBAMA .THE TRUTH REALLY HURT PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH AND FOR POOR OLDMAN MCCAIN THE GLOVES ARE OFF.OBAMA YOU ARE THE BETTER MAN .AND YOU WILL BE A GREAT GREAT PRESIDENTGOD BLESS YOU.

Mc Same-Bush. Same old ideas that have all been a failure.

Grumpy Mc Same-Bush's strategy is to continue doing what Bush has been doing over the past eight years (failed policies) and hope that the results will somehow be miraculously different – what a vision or lack thereof?

The conservative Republicans don't even know how to save on the gas – since they are all so filthy rich – look at the contract Rush Limbaugh got for his talk show and the kind of money Hannity makes. So how would they even know how to save money by inflating your tyres!!!! Somebody should do something for them to stop speaking trash!!!

OBAMA 08

Brandon, you idiot. Bush has already taken our rights and stomped on them. Come out of the cave, we got another election going on here. Just thought I'd let you in on it.

Answer to Scott L August 5th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

"How come whenever CNN writes about a McCain ad it is always "this negative ad" but Obama's ads are never "negative" even when attacking."

Because many McCain claims are lies or distortions.
Obama instead is basing his attacks on facts and on what McCain said.

BULL, Obama!

McCain proposes tax cuts for ALL corporations. Hey, Obamabots - want a job or keep the one you have? When's the last time the company YOU work for did NOT re-invest their profits in growth - which benefits YOU? When's the last time you checked your 401(k) and found certain stocks thrive - because those companies re-invested their profits for product improvement or new products in order to stay competitve?

Go ahead, tax corporations to kingdom-come - and watch your jobs disappear permanently.

And by the way, those energy companies you put down for "not drilling on leases they currently hold": Not all such leased land produces oil. And. . . current regulations already stipulate that these energy companies MUST relinquish their lease after TEN years of no drilling/producing.

But I know this is WAY over your head, Obamabots! You want SOMETHING FOR NOTHING - and Obama promises you plenty of that!

So, Obama voted with his nutbag pals most of the time. The most liberal legislator in Congress. He's got nothing and done nothing and won't do anything except flap is lips and those car door ears.
Alfred E. Obama "What? Me worry?"

Dear Florida Democrats,

Today is a proud day for all of us who fought so hard to ensure Floridians votes are fully counted.

Just minutes ago, Sen. Barack Obama sent a letter to the DNC credentials committee urging them to restore the full vote of the Michigan and Florida Delegations, proving his commitment to uniting the party and ending the uncertainty surrounding the process.

With Florida's economy in recession for the first time in 16 years, our state leading the nation in job loss, and we are number two in foreclosures, Floridians in every corner of our state are excited to elect Barack Obama and other Democrats this fall to bring change to Washington and Florida. The people of Florida know Barack Obama and other Democrats will rebuild our economy, create good jobs, and lower gas prices and homeowners insurance rates.

I want to thank Barack Obama, the Florida Congressional Delegation, the Democrats in our Legislature, and voters across Florida for fighting to have our votes count. This is a proud day for all of us.

Sincerely,

Karen Thurman

Congresswoman Karen L. Thurman
Chair, Florida Democratic Party
Every person who will vote in November should have read this. I am so disgusted with the Democratic Paraty this year that I will vote for McCain. Mr. Obama has sunk to a new low with this stunt. In June I watched as the DNC Rules Committee backed him up by not seating Florida & Michigan in Full so that Hillary Clinton did not have enough delegates to overtake him to win the nomination. Now he wants to make it seem that he is doing us all a favor by asking to have everyone seated in full after the fact. I wish I could sue the DNC over this. Every Floridian and Michiganite was cheated out of their vote because of Obama's tactics and now is not the time to come running to us for our votes. You need us and we will not be there for a liar, cheat and crook. If the news stations such as MSNBC, FOX and CNN got hold of this letter do you think that they would put it on their newscast? I don't think so. They have already declared that Obama is the winner in November and will be the next president. If the rest of the country knew about this disgusting ploy on the part of the DNC and Obama they would change their minds about voting for him I am sure.

See, what I tell ya. Obama doesn't need to *attack* McShame personally – he just hits him on the issues. This is the kind of guy we need in Washington.

Marie of California is a maniac. Hillary lost, in case you didn't notice! She is no longer in the race. You can vote for her in 2012 if she decides to run after Obama's second term, of course. In the mean time, stop hating!

OMG what a moron………….

Welcome to the Third World America. This is the promise of the media created false Messiah .

This imposter is clueless, can't hold a position more than 24 hours, is completely unqualified to lead even a McDonald franchise and hangs out with scum like Wright, Farrakahn, Ayers, Ludacris and Rezko.
He has stated he wished he could rid himself of his "white blood" (read his writings if you dare) and will be eaten alive by the enemies of America. His child-like views on foriegn policy and the economy ensure our descent into also-ran status.

Great job DNC of "selecting" your candidate over the objection of Michigan, Florida and the will of 18 million Billary voters. Another brilliant strategic plan by Howard (Yeehaww) Dean and the DNC.

It was great to be on top for so long. Liberals, get ready for a wake up call if this Manchurian candidate gets in…..

Vote McCain or join the insane………….

Brandon,

Wow...proof of ignorance.

No one is touching the 2nd amendment. and Bush does and has taken our right away. Obama burning the constitution? Please, all you republicans back your talk up with facts.

Sen. Obama hit the nail on the head about the ignorance. McCain should try to find solutions to the problems instead of making jokes. I guess when your intelligence does not come close to your opponent's then jokes are all you have. As far as the comment about the situation with the schools in Illinois, you should know that no educational system is perfect. Anything we do as humans will not be perfect. Do you do everything perfect? No you don't. Nobody does everything perfect. Sen. Obama is no different. Don't hate on him because he is the best candidate for the job. McCain is not in the same league with Obama and everybody knows it.

OBAMA !!! OBAMA!!! OBAMA!!!

it is so tiring to hear again and again the battle of words which leads nowhere so far

The media is only interested in a story that plays....

McCain's voting record on energy related issues is horrible.
The media doesn't highlight it because they have decided that a close, drama-filled race means better ratings. Hence 72% negative coverage for Barack Obama...

One question:

Are you better off than you were 8 years ago?

Obama '08

McCain=4 more years of BUSH.

Hit this old man where it hurts. Hit him HARD!!!!

Stomp on his old wrinkle face....Get get 'em, Barack!

all gloves are off. now its war; we have to reclaim our country back from the repugnants!

yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well said, Former g.o.p.:
"Oil is the crack cocaine that feeds the republican habit."

I did not think McCain could sink lower than Bush. But he has. He said he would not run attack ads. But, I guess he has decided that is the only way he is going to win. i guess I just don't understand people who think that lying is ok to get what you want. I watched McCain tell a group that Obama would raise their taxes if they made over $32,000 a year. That is a down right lie. Obama has always said $250,000 a year. But McCain wants to scare people into voting for him. On a lighter note. Has anyone seen the web ad by Paris Hilton? It is HOT!!!

This is off subject but I have to say it I was listening to Mccain on the Ist.of August speach that he gave and he couldnt remember the date of the convention in November and people want him for a president of your great country and look at the way that Bush is greated around the world on his trips wow come on people vote for the man that will help get you back some respecked in the world and in your own country vote Obama not another Bush
Go Obama
Canada

YAY! Play offense, Obama. There's nothing dirty about taking McBullsh!t to task ON THE ISSUES. It's obvious from some of the remarks posted here that people need more FACTS and less republican bs.

This ad rocks - we need more of them .... we have to highlight the Bush-McCain linkage ... and point out Obama's solution plans (I do not want the Obama ads to be whiner ads like McCain's ..)

It's about time he started fighting back. Keep it up.

OBAMA '08

I hope people will believe McCain when they hear his own words. If they don't want more of the same, Obama is the man we should elect as POTUS!

Cnn, what;s wrong with publishing my comments ?

Gloria Borger and brown Cambell swamped Joe on cnn today. McCain flip flops on all things. Yet all these people were talking over Joe. They wouldn't let him say a word even though the "hiden racist and republican" is "not for McCain" but will willingly lie about Barack Obama so forcefully that i thought they were going to fight on cnn.

I

Great job Barack!!! Stand up to them.

What is his education credentials? Can someone tell me? Also of Cindy. It is a shame to have these illiterates in the WH..

Marie is one of those people who would rather vote McCain, see her children sent into an unjust war and then complain about it.

VOTE .........OBAMA.........IN..........NOV...............OF..........08......YES..............

Patriotism? Born in Panama? .

Wow, a non-negative ad from McCain??? That's a first in a LOOONNNG time!

O yes let us not for get the big OIL spill that just happened in New Orlean,s And the one,s on the oil rig,s in the ocean when the 2big hurricains came how bad they where messed up those rigs,,People think plz. On the new today they said gas is going down because of the spectolator,s pulling out and that is why nothing else.

Marie, Why would you say NEVER, Marie? Because JFK was white? Never – is a closed door, Marie. Sounds confederate to me. Maybe alittle jim crowish. All people have the potential to reach those heights, Marie. Whether they get there is another story. I guess you could NEVER be as great a mom as my mom is. How do you like that. Duh? You don't sound like someone I would send to the corner store.

PS – add to that list of things to be addressed:

CRIMINALS in CONGRESS and the WHITE HOUSE.

I was watching Cambell Brown and I became very disappointed and quite angry because the program No bias, No Bull did not allow each person to speak equally with oportunity. It seemed as though you had two radio talk show hosts and one CNN Sr. Political anylist each giving there points. I could not catch their names but the talk show host situated in the middle was not given a chance to speak as equally and uninterrupted as the other two! This was suppose to be an informative unbiased informational program but I it was not! I am not pleased with the way this was done and I hope in the future you will give EACH of your guests equal time to give their views. It can not be proven but I got the feeling that this station is Republican! I thought you were journalists!

"According to the Houston Chronicle, big oil companies donated $900,000 to McCain's campaign in June, compared to $40,000 and $96,000 in April and May. What happened in June? He decided to support off shore oil drilling and backed away from conservation policies. Hmmm."

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, that factcheck.org ad that I see at Jack's file about that only about 1.3 million was donated not 2 million? Guess what? Pick OVER!!! LOL!!!!

What a bunch of party kool-aid drinkers. First let me state that I am an Independent. I believe both party's will say, do, and promise anything to get you to vote for them. Then once elected, they do whatever they please, which usually is nothing. The one thing you can count on them to do is find new inventive ways to tax you and spend your money. After all, every election since Carter they have made promises about taxes, oil, social security, end wars, etc. In the majority of cases, when nothing gets accomplished they blame the other party for obstruction. This election is no different.

I listened to the debates. Sorry, but Obama is nothing but Mr. Promise. He promises something to everyone. If his opinion falls out of favor, he changes. (Example, yesterday he said he was in favor of another rebate of $1000. Gee, what a cheap way to buy votes at taxpayer expense). I quickly came to the conclusion that he simply is not qualified due to lack of experience to be President and Commander in Chief.

As for McCain, I am no fan of him. If there was a vote for "None Of The Above", that would get my vote. But there isn't, so I have to vote for someone. At least McCain has proven ability and willingness to work across party lines, even when it is not popular within his own party. That is something that this country needs to start doing. McCain at least is knowledgeable about the military; Obama has no clue and demonstrates no respect for the military. McCain wants to drill, GREAT. At least do something! Unlike Nancy Pelosi who seems to want Congress to do nothing. Wake up politicans, IT'S TIME TO START DOING SOMETHING...it was time back in the 70's when we had gas lines.

This country needs to start doing something for the people...remember "We the People"? I don't see Obama uniting people, I see him dividing people. While I do not always agree with McCain at least he tries to work together. They better do something more than just properly inflate people's tires.

Please stop this schoolyard-bully "he said ... HE said" nonsense and address the SUBSTANTIVE issues:

The war, and how to end it
Foreign oil
Healthcare
Poverty
Infrastructure
Education
HUMAN RIGHTS

McCain acts more like McBush everyday. One day he says he has a plan and the next he says he will continue the failed policies of the worst administration in history, maybe even the history of the world.
What other country has BORROWED 4 TRILLION DOLLARS IN 8 YEARS, I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY.
WE WILL BE LUCKY TO MAKE IT TO JANUARY 20, 2009 AT NOON BEFORE WE HAVE TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY AND THIS IS CALLED A "CONSERVATIVE " ADMINISTRATION????
WHAT A JOKE, IT WOULD FUNNY IF IT WAS SOME OTHER COUNTRY– BUT I GUESS IT FUNNY FOR THE OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD.

OK...This is my ..BIG THING....HAS ANYONE THOUGHT of this while Sen.McCain wants to build more 45 to be exact PLANT,s..First who want,s them in there town and near there home also does anyone REMEMBER 3-MILE ISLAND. DO YOU PEOPLE AND SEN McCAIN WAS A U.S. SEN. AT THAT TIME. Let,s think of that shell we. when it come,s to these nuc. Plant,s

So much for change. Obama wouldn't know change if it bit him in the butt. All he does is preach the same Democratic BS. The only difference is that he uses bigger words. If he supports CHANGE, than why are the students in the Illinois schools protesting about their limited school funding. Shouldn't Illinois schools be perfect. If he can't fix the schools in his home state than I shutter to think about what he would do to the country. At least President Bush doesn't want to take away our rights according to our Constitution. Obama wants to burn the Constitution, especially the 2nd amendment. He can't just pick apart the Constitution, (keep the parts he likes and take away the parts he doesn't like)

GOBAMA! I'm so glad to see Obama fight back. It's about time. I don't know why they waited so long......there is just so much to say....how they held back this long is beyond me......I hope we see a lot more of the same.

GOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maverick is a mythology, one built to create an image which is a far departure from McCain's reality. The latest face is the one being painted by his Rovian campaign minions. The multiple faces of John McCain makes one ask, "will the real John McCain stand up."

Hit em where it hurts... with the truth.
Obama '08

I love it!!! Obama starting to show a little toughness. I like it!!! It's time to hit back on McCain and his 26 YEARS of non action with renewable energy!!!

WAY TO GO BARACK !!!
CHANGE IS COMING !!!

It's nice to see Obama getting aggressive in his ads, but not using sillyness. Using McCain's own words against him, staying factual and getting the point across is the correct way to run a campaign. It will also be the best way to run this country.

Obama 08/12

Between this ad and Paris Hilton's rebuttal to "Celebrity", looks like McCain is losing the ad wars this week. That's what you get for playing dirty – hahahahahahaha!!!

C'mon Barry – Don't spend my hard earned donation talking about McCain. Spend it talking about the REAL you – whoever you are?

Inquiring minds want to know!!

From all accounts, the economy was doing quite well when the democrats took control of the house and the senate back in 2006. What happened?

OBAMA SURE HAS ALL YOU BELIEVERS MISMERIZED MAYBE YOU SHOULD RENT THE DVD THE OMEN AND MAYBE SEE WHAT ALOT OF BLINDED AMERICANS ARE BECOMING. LETS BE REALISTIC THE MAN IS NOT EVEN AN AMERICAN CITIZEN AND THERE IS PROOF HE ATTENDED MUSLIM SCHOOLS AND JUST BECAUSE IT SHINES DOES NOT MEAN IT IS GOLD. A DEMO. VOTING REPUBLICAN AND HISPANIC WHICH MEANS THERE ARE MANY LATINS NOT INTEREST IN THE FAKE GOLD AND MANY MANY WHO ARE TIRED OF HEARING ALL THE RACIST B/S THAT OBAMA STARTED GET OVER IT OBAMA YOU ARE A HALF BREED NOT ALL BLACK AND NOT ALL WHITE SO JUST TRY BEING YOURSELF IT USUALLY WORKS BEST

Come on! McCcain is Mike Tyson. Bite his ear off McCain. Obama is Riddick Bowe. An upset, surprise knock out. Obama 08

Awesome – It is about time that McCain's attack anything that moves and lie to do so strategy has been called out. McCain has infuriated me (an independent) lately with his disgusting attacks. I'll be curious if Obama attacks with lies or real contrasts in his responses that are finally seeming to come on line.

Of course John McCain does not want us to inflate our tirers and save money. His BUDS would cry, the oil lobbists on his bus!!!!! Next thing you know we will be drinking less beer tOOOOO!!!!! Give the man what he is dishing out Obama. McCain is the McSame as Bush

This is EXCELLENT. Oh Marie from California WHAT ARE YOU FOR?? Really? I guess life is good in California, I guess gas is still $2.50 per gallon out there huh? You sound like one of those whiners that John McCain's surrogates referred to. Sorry had to address that "If Not Hillary, then McCain! Please go ahead vote for McCain. I also guess you believe that Anthrax originated in Iraq since McCain is on record saying that he "thinks" it originated in Iraq – knowing full well that it was not. Between Obama, Clinton and McCain – he has missed more senate votes than any of them. WHERE WAS HE? WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR HIS COUNTRY LATELY??? C'mon McCain is not the best candidate. Listen – I was a Hillary supporter too BUT I will not vote for McCain. WHO IS HE ANYWAY! We know his background but what's he been up to. Why does he own 9 houses in today's economic or where $550 shoes – I certainly relate to this man – WHAT ARE HIS VALUES. Go ahead – buy your private plane to get around California the way the McCain's do in Arizona I'm sure you can afford that as well. Guess you want Roe vs. Wade revisited also by a McCain administration. Oh also as McCain says – the homeowners who are about to lose their homes MUST work it out themselves – it's not the government's problem. Boy oh boy. NEVER McCAIN. Do some real research before you post this crap. We don't need a third term of corruption and the establishment.

If not Hillary – then Obama!!

I cannot understand how so many people in this country are so ignorant. It is evident that most come from broken homes where onl one parent was presnt whne they were either not working or out on a date. The reason I say this is because they were eveidently not taught values, not taught that people are typically just as the ones they surround themselves by. Anyone who can overlook the history of obama has a serious character flaw. His history reaks of black power racism, marxism and socialism. He no history in administering anything. There is something inherently wrong with anyone who cannot reason any better than to vote for obama. America is in trouble when the people who are decendants of those who built this country. finally die out. I could never vote against America by voting for this racist, marxist, socialist fraud called obama.

If Obama and crew, and the rest of us out here, continue to point out the difference between McCain as he'd like to be seen, and McCain as he really is, then maybe, maybe, we can convince voters that there is something worse than a black man as president – another four years of Bush mismanagement for instance.

If President Bush had taken "leadership" and urged Americans to "sacrafice" for the Iraq war the way President Roosevelt had done during WWII in that effort......We wouldn't be paying the prices for foreign oil we are now.........Instead President Bush only encouraged Americans to keep shopping at the malls and driving their SUV's!!

But let's tell Congress to return to session to fix an energy policy that the BUSH administration and Repubican controlled Congress(until 2006) had 5 years to come up with!

I cannot believe how Democrats just love to steal money from people or companies that earn it.

Hey folks just because you're too lazy to work and make a living, leave us that do alone.

I'm tired of my money being used on people that just keep making babies and dont do anything for our economy other then just bleed it dry!!!

"However, Obama himself voted for a 2005 energy bill backed by Bush that included billions in subsidies for oil and natural gas production, a measure Cheney played a major role in developing. McCain opposed the bill on grounds it included billions in unnecessary tax breaks for the oil industry." -AP

America- the time has come to get rid of these two Evils-one is leaving and we got to make sure the other -McEvil doesn't come any closer.
Get rid of him before the election.
McIdiot is not taking the election seriously. His jokes, he lies, he reduclues, he mocks, his negative attacks, he is out of touch with the public.
He is so consumed with hate and jealously of Obama .
Old grumpy thinks by sporting his chic wife at a bike- remember BAM BAM, now RIV RIV. What the hell is that?
Take one look at this couple, you can make up your mind that they are not the WH materials.
26 years in Washington and that is what he learned-Ignorance.

McCain is a liar, plain and simple. He's so arrogant he thinks he can fool the Amercan people into believing his BS. He is an amoral old fool. The good think about McCain is he is motivating us to register every human in the country against him. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore, I'm going to do something about it.

LOL!!!!!!! Way to go Barack smack him down!!!!!!!! the out of touch lying OLD FART!! I loved this ad a lot.

Bill – you're ignorant – tell me you'd let McSleaze slap you over and over with lies and not at least try to correct the demented old fool.

HA

Go Obama

John August 5th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

A week ago you guys were saying that McCain's negative ad's were shameful and evil, yet now when Obama does the same it's okay

What is this???

Sounds kinda like hypocrisy to me, but I guess it's okay since Obama is only trying to inject HUMOR into the race.
----------------------------------
Obama is just stating the Truth with facts ... This is much different from the attack ADs ... Mc Cain released ...... You need to get your head examined

I would like to know if John McCain or Barack Obama will talk about the troops who have done 3 to 4 tours of Irag. The Country of Irag should be saver, however just when we thought everything, surge kids going to school than a woman blows herself up is it proof that things are a little better or a lot better I just want to know where are they going to get the troops to go to afgan or Irag for the 5th and 6th time.

I don't know who is more stupid Obama or the people that want to vote for the fool.

If you people believe we can solve these problems with windmills then you better dig deep into your pockets for wads of cash because it alone will never solve this problem.

We need to start using our own resources of Oil, Natural gas and Nuclear power. If not then we will just keep getting nowhere fast.

And keep in mind Obama has no problem with you paying over $4 for gas he in fact would like to see it go even higher.

To him and most Democrats anything that hurts this country makes them feel good.

What goes around comes around.

McCain = 1/2 Bush + 1/2 Cheney

rob.......where did you learn your economics? at the flea market?.....get real man your candidate is a complete fraud.....did you noticed how some of the motorcyclists were revving up? because they had enough of the navy cap.....and when he mocked about Mr. Obama´s suggestion of tire inflation some in the crowd yelled: It Is The Right Thing To Do.......Go away what a Maveriot.

If Obama and democrats were smart, they would take their own advice and actually discuss Obama's ideas. OH WAIT, he has none besides tax and spend. FYI Mccain is not Bush, and if that is you only argument you truly are as pathetic as our democratic congress that has failed to accomplish anything.

Ps. the WORST thing you can do to an economy in a recession or nearing a recession is to raise taxes. Please people, study some economics before you vote for a socialist.

Obama finally lets loose. He didn't want this negative campaign, but they would have eaten him alive. I think that's what Bush's, Oh I mean McSame's people were hoping for. Obama has way more ammunition to use against them. They shouldn't have started it.

McSame keeps howling for debates. He had better be careful what he ask for. Obama will make him look like a total idiot. I can't wait to see them! Maybe America will wake up then! Do we want the smart, articulate guy or do we want the one who doesn't have a clue about what's even going on? If the American people are sick of Bush, then why would they even consider someone who's attached at the hip with the exact same people?

"Ahh, shipping jobs over seas. Interesting point, and a valid one when it comes to McCain beliefs. His own wife agree's with him as well. Why else would she be part of those to benefit from the huge Budweiser sale to a foreign country."

Very true statement. I used to think McCain was okay to the point I would vote for him a few years ago.

He's no longer a maverick. He's in lock step with Republican ideaology and Bush policies.

Excellent and TRUE ad Obama!

Too bad Obama will lose this November. lol lol lol. Obama's poll numbers continue to decline in the battleground states. I guess he'll go back to being a street organizer. lol lol

McCain is a tool. And his wife is just your street corner fun box ready to sell herself to the highest foreign bidder. Wonder if John is actually the pimp?

GO BAMA GO!!!

RIGHT ON, OBAMA!

Yes Yes, More of this get that old goon. How dare they mock tire pressures, especially when Nascar and the transportation department prove it is tru. I hope these ads set the ignorant straigght. Also watch I.O.U.S.A. trailer or go see the movie, will blow your mind how much in debt we are from Bush and McCain.

Obama08

The only thing different about Obama and Osama is BS.

On Target!!!
Shut this Old Man Up!!!!

McCain's playing games,
Obama is SERIOUS about making a change for the BETTER!

Any issues that made him the "Maverick" he's flip-flopped on and is now lock step in line with the rest of the Republicans that have lead our country into war and recession.

According to the Houston Chronicle, big oil companies donated $900,000 to McCain's campaign in June, compared to $40,000 and $96,000 in April and May. What happened in June? He decided to support off shore oil drilling and backed away from conservation policies. Hmmm.

Saying McCain is another Bush is like saying Obama is another JFK. Both are far, far, far from reality.

McCain can't sink as low as Bush, while Obama could never ascend to the greatness of JFK, no matter how hard he tried. In fact, he wouldn't even be good enough to shine JFK's shoes!

Instead, Obama is a Far Left extremist mushball like Jimmy Carter....and we don't need a second Carter term in the presidency. The first one was disastrous enough!

I'll vote Democrat again when the party gives me someone I can vote for......but......in the meantime......

If not Hillary, then McCain!

PUMA

all you have to do is tell the truth about John McCain..he's against everything that he's in favor of ..just give him ten minutes to figure out where George Bush and he'll be following like a lap dog..If you loved George Bush you'll love John McCain..four more years

That's just works on so many levels!!!

OBAMA '08

please keep hiting as hard and often as you can,it´s the only way to play their game: PUNCHING and JABBING.......let´s see how the NUMBSKULL Repugnants respond.....and then hit right back.....they´ll learn......no more Mr. Nice Guy

If Obama becomes President will the Secret Service have to start wearing Bow Ties?

If thats all they have is to tie McCain to Bush they are desperate. McCain is winning the energy debate because he is right about "all of the above" and Obama spouts the party line of renewables only. There is no way the Dem plan will reduce gas prices now either, at least McCain admits it and he does have a real comprehensive energy plan that includes our own resources of Oil, Natural gas, Nuclear power and supporting the creation of renewable energy in the future while not hurting the economy in the short term.

FINALLY!!!!!!!! Go get him OBAMA!!!!!!! Tell like it is. This is how we win.

McCains spots have been more accurate and funnier.

You can't change anything unless you win! Just keep pounding that McBush is the last thing we need! I want every voter in this country to go in the booth with one thought. McCAIN will be just like BUSH! CASE CLOSED!!!!!

It's a pleasure to see Obama giving McCain a taste of the bullsh!t he's been dosing out against Obama since he was successful overseas. The Rethugnicans really have absolutely NOTHING they can say or use to help the American people and that is why they are resorting to the crap and stupid games they have been playing recently. Pwn them Obama like the Democrat God we know you are!

It is about time the Obama camp it McCain where it hurts. Time to expose their lies, twisted ego and arrogant misdeeds.

Just too funny how so many fall for the NeoCon war baiting and fear mongering AND if you ask them, they'll swear it's the truth; just like what they read in the tabloids. Hmmm...I wonder, can the NeoCons read or are they simply dumb?

The only possible way this election can be close is the result of a' journalists' in the news media not doing their job and the overwhelming stupidity of the average american voter.

A week ago you guys were saying that McCain's negative ad's were shameful and evil, yet now when Obama does the same it's okay

What is this???

Sounds kinda like hypocrisy to me, but I guess it's okay since Obama is only trying to inject HUMOR into the race.

Let him have it Obama, you're no John Kerry!

McCain was a maverick, he only voted along with George Washington only 25% of the time!

Since when is obama an energy czar? You would think with his ideas that obama is a master mechanic now. You konw the one that has all the tools? I guess his energy policy explains why I saw all the kids at the nearby college store all waiting in line at the air pump. For people who supposedly have high IQ's and are the educated ones they sure do follow the one to a tee don't they. I wonder if the air pump had as much hot air in it as obama does? I wonder what brain trust idea obama will come out with. Hopefully it isn't following obama down the road of marxist socialism.

Used2bdemocrat

Its time to take Republicans to the wood shed and beat the snot out them and I dont mean just verbally.

This ignorant Republic will make sure that you are not elected in November. Me and redneck brothers that cling to our guns and religion will vote for McCain., since you and the DNC took out our
candidate and stole the nomination. The Democratic party has been hijacked and we will not sit idly by while you and your Socialists destroy the Party of our fathers.

McCain gets big bucks from Hess Oil, just after he switches his position on offshore oil drilling.
After 8 years of the bush/cheney oilmen we end up with $ 4.00 per gallon oil and the g.o.p. screaming for more drilling, more tax cuts for the oil cartel and offering nothing to get us off our addiction.

Oil is the crack cocaine that feeds the republican habit.

I thought Obama wasn't going to go negative and be a typical politician. I guess he's just like the rest of the politicians, just more of a hypocrite.

LOL! Isn't this the 3rd attack ad from Obama today? I'm loving this. Give that Republican a good beating!!

Nice!!!!! .... Keep Them coming Obama .. this is what you should have been doing from the start ... keep this Chap on the Defensive ....

No more Mr. Nice Guy ..... Just air Ads with The Truth & Facts .. Leave the Lies & Distortions to Mc Cain

Now do we have to rush off to factcheck.org again and see how much of this ad is misleading ? The other ad he put out implies oil companies gave to McCain when that has been illegal since 1918. The amount he received was only 1.3 million and not over 2 million while Obama himself collected close to 400,000. Then the tax breaks to big oil companies are not speciicialy for them but for ALL companies and businesses of which they happen to be a part of. Let's not go calling other people's ads ignorant when your own are deliberately misleading to put it mildl, and Obama himself voted FOR the Cheney energy plan in the Senate. .

Give it to those Thugs, Obama. There days is numbered.

McBush3 has shown his Maverick statis has left as well as the "Straight Talk Express".I as a American Want to see JohnWMcBush3's Mental Records.We deserve to see them.We have had Complete Incompetance in the White House for 8yrs .WE DESERVE BETTER!WE DESERVE SOMEONE WITH A BRAIN AND IT AIN'T MCCAIN!OBAMA08!

Once a hero, always a hero.

This new finding about Obama’s birth certificate may spread faster than we think while the MSM sitting on the news. People might not talk about it but the polls will.

Obama needs to play that clip of McCain on TV over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over until the tape wears out

by john mccain is too old to be president.

And the quote from McCain saying he's voted with the President over 90% of the time was before McCain even flipped on issues like Bush's tax cuts, which means that he's even more in lockstep with Bush than he was back then.

And yeah, what's up with not linking the Obama commercial, CNN? You linked McCain's ad....

Not directly on point, but I can't seem to post this on the air gauge ticker article:

Anyone can parse apart any statement by anyone else, rip one tiny piece out of context, and blow it up and make it the subject of ridicule.

Perhaps that might be a skill I'd want in a staff writer on Jon Stewart (though the quality of this is far below that fine show's standards), but it has nothing to do with what I want from a candidate for the US Presidency.

I love satire as much as the next guy, but leave satire it to the satirists. We don't need clowns in the White House: we need intelligent, creative, respectful, resourceful, charismatic leaders.

As Obama says, the facts are on his side. As an article in Time showed yesterday, the immediate 3-4% fuel economy improvement from properly-inflated tires IS, in and of itself, much more impactful on the oil economics than the 2% potential increase in the oil supply resulting decades from now from offshore drilling.

Exactly – no more McJealous, McNegative, McPander!

Intelligent! Hit McSurge where it hurts( our pockets) Good for you Obama!

Great Ad
the man's own words admitted he's lockstep with bush
McCain=Bush+Chenney

OBAMA 08

CNN, you cannot close the comments immediately without giving everybody chance to comment for the earlier news about the tire gauge and tun-up thing. Barack, you are a disgrace to our party. Presidential candidate does not have to tell me to take care of my car and say that I can save 10% of the gas. (Evidently, today you said it is 3% of saving). You do not have any solutions to the energy crisis. This shows that you do not have experience to solve our problems. Go away.

It's true that McCain ia a maverick in name only. He's been trying to appease the conservative base so much that he's lost all claims he once had of credibility, or of being a maverick. And what's with this message that McCain kinda sorta but not really is too nice a guy to have these negative ads (his advisors have to coerce him to go negative?) but yet he's said that he's proud of them. So McCain is trying to be a nice guy but be negative too, and it just proves that he's not a maverick. He's willing to lose his integrity to win an election.

Keep up the good work Obama team. The world and this nation has got to see what McCain is all about. Get the word out.

I feel like I am in a schoolyard. Obama said this, McCain said that...blah, blah, blah. Then you have the reporting....more blah, blah, blah. I am so tired of this back and forth nonsense and these silly marketing techniques, faux presidential seals, embroidered presidential chairs, who had whose love child, the drooling fan base, the drug addicted wife, and on and on and on. In the meantime, we have the war, the middle east threat, the economy in the toilet, job losses, but what the hell let's continue this ridiculous popularity contest. Neither candidate is going to be great! It's our job to hold them accountable, not hold them on a pedestal. Please, give me my country back

McCain is in bed with big oil!! Did you guys hear McCluless volunteer his wife for a nude pagent!!!! He doesn't have a clue!!!!

WAY TO GO MY BARACK!

Don't let John McCain OFF THE HOOK! KEEP ON DIGGING, AND KEEP ON AIRING ALL OF HIS LIES, AND HIS BUSH BELIEFS!

If McCain represents a Bush 3rd term, then why don't conservatives like McCain??

The truth is, that he is a Maverick.

KEEP THESE ATTACKS COMMING!!!! Republicans HATE the truth. It's something they are not familiar with.

VOTE for McCain is a VOTE for BUSH/CHENEY!!!

How come whenever CNN writes about a McCain ad it is always "this negative ad" but Obama's ads are never "negative" even when attacking.

Biased for sure...glad I am hear as the voice of reason all these flavor aid drinking demotreehuggers.

Hmmmm. I thought The One was soooooo above attack ads and typical D.C. politics. Give me a break. This guy is the biggest sham there ever was.

Yes indeed! That's the kind of ads that Obama camp need to show the people of America. No negative ads just plain true. I hope that Obama uses McCain own voice on every ad. This guy was miniature of President Bush on every issue. Yes he voted 95% on Bush's issues and policies.

I'm hoping that Obama camp ties Bush and Cheney with McCain on every ad. Thanks Obama for the common sense that your camp has shwon.

Great Ad!!! Hit him again and again on this. Battle ground states need this ad immediately! Also, he was brilliant at the town hall in Berea today.

CNN why no ability to actually see the ad in motion! Let's give Barack the same free air time you gave John last week. MSM left bias my behind!

Guess who voted for President's Bush "Oil Bill?" The ultimate flip-flopper Senator "I will take both positions" Obama!

Democrats for McCain!

i think the obama haters are finally getting tired....

BURN!!!!

"WHAT?? Didn't we all know that Bush is also a Maverick? ~_~"

LOL!!!! Hey, hey! That's the past, let it be, LOL!!!

What's more juvenile than a make believe presidential seal.
Or a presidential candidate posing for reporters on his airplane – twirling around in his jeans.
Or a middle-aged presidential candidate kissing up to disgusting rappers just to look cool.
Time to send another donation to McCain.

Of course, it is not surprising that McCain voted along the party lines on most issues because he is a Republican. But he also reached across the aisle to seek compromise with Democrats on many issues. He is proven to be independent, visionary not easily swinging by political wind. He gets my vote.

Ah, so the "new politics" of Senator Obama are actually negative attack ads?

The TRUTH shall set you free and OBAMA'S truth will set us all free again. People open your eyes and ears don't let the republicans lies and fear stop you from doing the right thing by voiting DEMOCRAT.

What does a 95% record of voting WITH Dubya say to you ?
Other than the obvious fact that someone is an idiot – and a liar.

Obama has to do this for the next 96 days! This will be a good ad to run and re run, because many voters won't tune in or get it until october. This ad(and/or various versions)needs to be run every week from here on out to ensure the message sticks.

John McCain is "The Real Maverick" for Big Oil!!!

Excellent Ad, keep hitting em and hit em hard!!

This is CERTAINLY not the 2004 or 2000 Election

This is what we call "Rapid Response" by Obama Special Forces. These guys are BRILLIANT and SMART

Obama / Hagel 08

This issue is whether or not the media covers these hits by Obama like they cover the hits from McCain – I doubt it since they haven't called out McCain once.

I VOTED WITH BUSH OVER 90% OF THE TIME.........SO HE IS A BUSH CLONE. MCSAME YOUR JEDI MIND TRICKS WILL NEVER WORK. THE FORCE IS NO LONGER WITH YOU.

GAME, SET, MATCH!

In the Mccain ads and in his stump speech he states he supports GI issues,women,health care,civil rights,energy,taxes and on and on.Yet the Mccain voting record shows these thing to be untrue.Obama needs to call him out every day on a different issue.

Lets wait for the debates. Obama will crush the old idiot.

Obama..........08

You know enough is enough and too much stinks. I think Obama has finally had his fill of the childish games and flat out lies McCain is feeding us. That's how you do it!

Excellent, excellent rebuttal. Keep jabbing. Don't let McCain loose.
Go obama.

Except that John McCain voted against oit giveaways while Obama voted for them. McCain should sue for libel. i'd like to see Obama defend himself in court. And how come no one cares when Obama goes negative but when McCain goes negative the press are all over him? Yet another common sense comment, left unposted because of liberal medai bias.

McCain represnts Bush and nothing else. McCain is not different from Bush. He also wants the big companies to make huge profits at the expense of ordinary working Americans.

I agree with Chris. McCain said at the nuclear power plant today that people notice what you vote for and not just what you say. McCain should check his own voting record in the future because it's not just energy bills. Same goes for the GI bills and equal pay for women and actually lying about having voted for bills like the MLK holiday not to mention other bills he claims to have voted for that he missed altogether.

NOW THAT IS A GREAT AD!!! Nice job!! Keep going Obama!!

"for tax breaks for companies that shift jobs overseas."

Presumably Obama favors tax hikes for companies that ship jobs overseas? Please explain how that will encourage these companies to hire more U.S. employees. I dare you.

well it seems like mccain is flip-flopping on another thing.

McCain in 2003: The Iraq war is going to be easy.

McCain in 2007: Those who thought the war was going to be a cake walk were naive.......!

McCain’s PHONY EXPRESS

Keep hitting them Senator Obama!

The Repbulicans are trying to hide Bush at the convention and Cheney might not even show but the truth about their ties and shared views need to be pushed over and over.

Wasn't the original Maverick James Gardner?

Now thats the true McSame Love IT. Obama08

Remember when Sen. McCain Said This;

"McCain said in April, “I’m sorry to tell you that the price of oil — as far as I can tell — is not gonna go down anytime soon until we eliminate our dependency on it. We can do that as a nation — we can turn out the lights five minutes earlier, we don’t have to drive the extra block.”

What’s wrong with this? Nothing in particular. In fact, it’s probably about as sensible as what Obama said about inflating our tires and getting regular tune-ups.

The difference is, Dems didn’t spend a week getting “giddy” about using lightbulbs as a political prop and insisting that McCain’s entire energy policy is composed of turning off the lights.

Obama 08

Say NO To Sen. MoeClown, and his other Stooges.
Tell Them To Put Those Tire Gages You Know Where, Since They Don't Want To Use Them!

McCain...a maverick in his own mind. Trouble is the dementia that has set in causes him to forget he is already out of his mind. Not entirely unlike the Pres. No wonder they are in lockstep.

This Is The Best Ad From Obama I Have Seen Yet! A Real Slam To Mccain!

If Obama is all "talk" then what is McCain? (if he claims to be a Maverick yet votes with Bush 95% of the time)

McCain's Experience = following others for 26 yrs and not bringing anything new to the table. What kind of "leader" is that?

McCain '08
Better than Bush!

Should have attacked Cindy McCain drug addiction and DEA investigation

Keep up the good work CNN...80% of the Political Ticker items are pro-Obama propoganda. 80% of your "political analysts" are openly pro-Obama. CNN has lost all credibility.

I am hoping that the Obama team is just waiting until after the conventions to take the gloves off and take out this last ditch effort of Republican leftovers. The old McCain would have been an exceptable 2nd choice if Obama lost, but we can't afford four more years let alone another day of the Neocons agenda.

Obama 08 YES WE CAN!!

Exactly right. McBush and Bush are in total agreement on all the issues. they both support the horrible wastefull war that has destroyed our economy. they are both in lock step with Big Oil to keep America enslaved to oil instead of working to become energy independant. They are both bought and paid for by the Corporations who are shipping our jobs to China. original? maverick? I think not. McBush is just the Corporate plutocracy designated successor to their puppet Bush. Got democracy ? Vote Obama.

Where Is The Story About Mccain Entering His Wife In A Topless Beauty Contest So She Could Win The Title Of Miss Cow Pie!

Nice. Keep it coming. The funny thing is that it ain't negative advertising, it is true advertising. More like it... let the gloves come off. Anf keep on attacking even when you are on vaca!

The repubs are softening their views to lull the people into believing that they are not like Bush.

It is a farce people, don't believe the repubs. They want to get elected and they will continue to give us economic trouble and jobs lost juste like Bush.

Obama 08/12.

MCSAME = BUSH!

If you like what George W. Bush (THE Worst President Ever) has done for America (record budget deficit, misguided war, disastrous energy policy, etc.) you will love John McSame! Bush and McCain have the same darn policies – McCain has admitted it himself!

Wake up! McCain is not the candidate he was in 2000! He is no maverick – just more of the SAME!

WE NEED CHANGE! WE NEED INTELLIGENCE! WE NEED COMPETENCE!

OBAMA '08/12!

that is how you attack. with substance not negative ads. like mcsame does. since he has no clue on the issues. THE YOUNG SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND THE OLD SHALL DREAM DREAMS. that is all mcsame has dreams.. no substance.

It's so odd that JM ads get free air play and BO only got the script...or is it? Keep hitting back Sen Obama.

BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT!

Keep Tying Mccain To Bush! This Will Surely Be His Downfall! Mccain Is No Maverick! He Just Represents A Third Bush Term. . . And We All Know How Well The First Two Went! Mccain Is Just More Of The Same!

Ahh, shipping jobs over seas. Interesting point, and a valid one when it comes to McCain beliefs. His own wife agree's with him as well. Why else would she be part of those to benefit from the huge Budweiser sale to a foreign country.

Selling our country to the highest bidder starts with the McCain's own actions, and it won't be just beer next time, it will be every single job in america sold/shipped over seas!

McCain: The problem to all of our Solutions!
Obama: The change we need before the McCains sell out!

Great shot Senator Obama! Let's win this election!

Yes, it's time to hammer this old tired pol into the ground!

Yes we can!

WHAT?? Didn't we all know that Bush is also a Maverick? ~_~"

Slam!!!! McCain and Bush are joined at the hip and at the lip!!!

keep hitting him BO!it's starting to hurt.

Obama playing OFFENSE!!!! i LOVE IT!

McCain has repeatedly voted AGAINST renewable energy!
His record needs to be highlighted. He has voted against tax breaks and investment in renewable energy over and over again!

Yes, yes, yes.
