The McCain camp released “The One: Road to Denver” Web video Friday.
The McCain camp released “The One: Road to Denver” Web video Friday.

(CNN) - The One has returned.

John McCain's campaign released a sequel to its Web video about presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama that used footage of Charlton Heston as Moses parting the Red Sea, images of light streaming from the heavens, and a gospel choir to paint Obama as an arrogant politician who bought into near-messianic hype over his candidacy.

They're all back "by popular demand," according to McCain spokesman Brian Rogers - along with new footage of Obama bodysurfing on his recent Hawaiian vacation - in the latest release.

On a day when coverage of the presumptive Republican nominee has been dominated by his inability to immediately recall how many homes he owns, his campaign is hoping that "The One" can save the news cycle.

Earlier: 'They will call him The One,' says McCain Web ad

In 'The One: Road to Denver,' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is quoted calling Obama "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time," and a recording of Virginia Governor Tim Kaine - a top Democratic VP prospect - is played in which he expresses relief that Obama's call for a cease-fire in Georgia has been heeded.

"His hand guides the world," says the announcer.

"...In Denver, you will see the light," the announcer says later. "He may be 'The One,' but is he ready to lead? No."

What a waste of supporters donations.

I can't stand his approach on much of anything. McCain not only jokes about war with bomb...bomb...bomb...iran, he is now personally insulting the next President of the United States.

There are so many reasons why I don't agree with McCain on foreign and domestic issues ESPECIALLY women issues...but now McCain is just a joke to me.

TERRY GILL   August 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

This is getting so old! How about the issues, MCccain...I watched a recent interview, the question was on the tax policy. Obama was straight forward with answers. McCain skirted the issue. What does that tell you!

Alan Boyer   August 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

John McCain's Resume:

*US Senate AWOL-26 years
*Adulterer-7 years
*POW-5 years
*Beer Distributor-2 years

Yep, he's just what America needs!

True   August 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

As long as McCain isn't the one, I'll be happy.

Looks like McCain actually has a Man Crush on Obama ;) xoxxox

Christian, Tampa FL   August 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Stupid. This nonsense isn't going to work anymore, and I'm still angry that the McCain campaign is openly mocking Obama's supporters. If my candidate, Obama, was making fun of McCain's supporters, I'd chastise him as well.

Davd   August 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

OBama needs an ad calling McCain "The Other"

I'm going to cry.

R.I.F.   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Hopefully the media won't fall for this attempt to change the subject. Today is about McCain and the fact that he can't remember how many homes he owns while he

Lost (maybe) in CNN Moderation   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Way to go evangelicals. McCain's your man. I didn't know blasphemy was no longer considered a sin.

I'm surprised they didn't throw in the POW card in since he can't go a day without reminding everyone that he's a war hero. I'd still like McCain to fully release his military records so I can judge for myself how much of a war hero he is.

Jeremy   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Hopefully he is "The One" and all you sheep can finally get what you've been hoping for: The Rapture.

Oscar P   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Anyone else out there suspicious about Cindy McCain's sudden arm injury? I know the campaign says it was a hard hand shake but would you expect anything else?

He has a quick temper. He's been known to cuss her out in public, try to physically attack fellow senators. Whose to say the stress of the campaign hasn't been getting to him and quick draw McCain, was fighting with his wife, she tried to walk away and he grabbed her arm hard and yanked? Just saying......

kayla   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

YES , HE IS THE ONE THAT WILL BLOW YOU OUT THE WATER, YOU OLD GOAT.

Davd   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Perhaps the religous will see this literally, and really want "The One". Careful Mr McCain, this might just catch on!

Jason -NV   August 21st, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Wow, I guess McCain is smart enough to realize he can't win on the issues huh?? Guess we have hit smear and fear mode?

MCCAIN IS IN FAVOR OF A DRAFT ! ! !
18-35 years old? See ya in Iraq, Afgan, Russia, or China guys!
McCain has made it clear that Russia and China are on his hit list.
For the love of country people, can we all grow up??????????????

Terry, Lakeland Florida   August 21st, 2008 5:41 pm ET

oh and lets talk about the K5 scandal. I'd post it there but CNN tends to close comments when they feel like it....which is normally within seconds. McCain was only included in the K5 because the left wing Dems wanted to include a non-dem. It should have been the K4 (All Dems) McCain was clear of all wrong doing and it's a well documented fact that he should never have been included in that scandal. How about you guys do some research, it only took me around 5 minutes to dig up all the facts…you should try fact finding sometimes.

Erika M. NYC   August 21st, 2008 5:41 pm ET

I never planned on voting for McCain but at least I respected the man. This is a low for him and I have now lost respect for him. I am a Christian and I think this is offensive. It has all sorts of anti-Christ overtones and I don't think it's lighthearted humor as McCain's campaign would have us believe. Attacks like these are just wrong. I would prefer to know what McCain's stance is on issues and how they differ from Obama's stance. I don't want to hear about questioning judgement because where was McCain's when this video was released? And what happened to McCain's commitment to run an election fight on the issues???

cindy's limp wrist   August 21st, 2008 5:40 pm ET

Yes he is, and he's also the ONE that will win come november.

McLame = no shame.

Get a Grip   August 21st, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Maybe McCain thought this up when he was in the "cone of silence" on the way to Rick Warren's church!!!

Doreen J.   August 21st, 2008 5:38 pm ET

How long until the US electorate find these ads juvenile – enough is enough. Is that the best the Reps have?

ex-Republican for Obama   August 21st, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Is he ready to lead? Yes.

Terry, Lakeland Florida   August 21st, 2008 5:38 pm ET

How about you guys listen to the ad, rather then throwing out your left wing attacks. The Dems (Yes you) Are calling Obama the second coming of Christ..not the repubs. Nancy Pelosi seems to think he's the second coming. Why should McCain not point that out. Heck I bet most of you already have a small shrine built.

Chut Pata   August 21st, 2008 5:38 pm ET

I would rather have the "One" rather than the entire oil mafia, that plundered my country for 8 years, to go on for another 4 years.

A CANUCK   August 21st, 2008 5:37 pm ET

McCain is just like Hillary.........really ticked off because Barack Obama is .....honest ...educated.....bright.....moral.......decent.....forward thinking....and is also very easy on the eyes. He will be the victor....because good will prevail over evil. OBAMA 2008

Gene   August 21st, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Does anyone else here think McCain has the mentality of a spoiled child?

November 4th Is the Day Of Reckoning   August 21st, 2008 5:37 pm ET

We love this country too much to let John McCain demolish it. So Barack H. Obama is my number ONE choice. Thank you for reminding me GOP.

The One and Only Candidate for this Country at this TIME.

anonmouys   August 21st, 2008 5:37 pm ET

hillary not the only one that can make obama win

Lucieann   August 21st, 2008 5:36 pm ET

I guess desperation has set in with John McCain....Obama is the "One", and McCain is the "Not!"

Another grumpy old white woman for Obama   August 21st, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Anybody left out there who believes this crap must have been hiding under a rock for the last 4 months. If they believe it, it is because they want to (and would not have voted for Obama anyway ) OR they have as much intelligence as a soda cracker. They have to show it on TV because they are appealing to those who can't read.

rkoloski   August 21st, 2008 5:36 pm ET

I want to see one with McCain superimposed over Marlin Brando's character in "Apocalypse Now"...

He's the Surge'in General...
In his world, the war never stopped...

Then, in response to the inevitable rage, a simple, "just kidding – gotta keep your sense of humor."

Max   August 21st, 2008 5:36 pm ET

McCain has an annoying habit of taking a ho-hum joke and repeating it until someone spares him a chuckle. This ad was stupid the first time, and it's even stupider now.

One Chance America   August 21st, 2008 5:35 pm ET

McLame is so jealous. Yes, Barack is still the right ONE for this country. I wish I could say the same for McCain, but I can't. He's the right one to start a war, and keep this country's economy in the toilet.

Obama 08, Yes– he is the one.

ek   August 21st, 2008 5:35 pm ET

This ad does not even make sense? Why doen't McCain focus on the issues? Oh that's right , because he is a war mongering old fool!

We're Still Having Fun & He's Still The One   August 21st, 2008 5:34 pm ET

Still the one.....

Obama 08

Sharon   August 21st, 2008 5:33 pm ET

You've GOT to be kidding me?! Who would want this old LAME old fart for president when he can even manage to get a good smear ad going. COME ON!!!

Obama '08- HURRY UP ALREADY!

Debra Austin, Texas   August 21st, 2008 5:33 pm ET

I think McCain has dementia and Schmidt has limited impact. He's surely no Karl Rove.

Rich in Seattle   August 21st, 2008 5:32 pm ET

That's funny, because when I think of McCain I think of him as being "Number Two".

Orlando   August 21st, 2008 5:32 pm ET

The GOP political hacks responsible for this are going to burn in Hell. I have never seen such blasphemy from anyone. How any American and how any Christian could vote for McCain after the jokes the GOP have made about Christianity and the Bible is beyond me. This man McCain and his handlers are a blot on the Christian faith and should be welcomed in Hell by Satan himself.

I'm Wishing On A Star...   August 21st, 2008 5:31 pm ET

President Obama gave former Senator John McCain a phone call to wish him well on his 78th birthday. News at 11:00.

eleanor owen   August 21st, 2008 5:31 pm ET

McCain is very dangerous for our Country. You better believe Obama
is the one and he is ready to lead. I trust his judgment. I mistrust
McCain. He can't tell the truth, he is old and at best senile and he is
part of the Bush regime.
Wake up America! The majority says they do not approve of Bush,
they do not like the way in which the country is going, yet the polls say
almost half would vote for McCain? who offers the same and worse.
What are these people thinking?

just thinking   August 21st, 2008 5:31 pm ET

Didnt George Bush beat McCain 8 years ago? If Georgie was the better candidate then, what has McCain done to improve himself.

McCain was not ready to lead 8 years ago, and is still not ready to lead now.

People better wake up and think.
vote for Bush = mistake
vote for McCain = stupid.

NObama 2008   August 21st, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Actually, Obama stuck his foot in his mouth criticizing McCain and McCain came back strongly saying Obama surely didn't want to get into a bttle over who was closer to those bitter americans who cling to religion and guns.

Obama is losing it big time and is looking like a whiny, pouty little child.

Hank   August 21st, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Wrinkled old gray haired man still yelling at clouds.

Lisa   August 21st, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Yeah he's definitely "The One", The one who will lose to Mccain if Hillary's not on the ticket!!!

Shannon, MD   August 21st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

McCain's just jealous that he's not the ONE. LOL

In my opinion McCain will never be the one, unless we're looking for a doddering old fool charging up the hill with no one behind him.

Obama 08

FL4Obama   August 21st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Obama should rebut McCain direct and clean for this blasphemous nonsense by exposing how disresrespectful McCain is being to people of faith. It would further contrast Obama's values as a man of religious decency. Obama '08

randy   August 21st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

So even McBush sees Obama as the only one who can change things.

Perhaps the rest of the his cronies will see it too.

gotcha   August 21st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Can Obama spell jealous? He sounds like it and I hope he can spell it. If someone has worked very hard and aquired several houses, so what? You can do it also. Good for him. Obama is a jerk.

Xavier, Saint Louis, Missouri   August 21st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Totally Tasteless!

greenhx, Yes I have to agree with you. McStooge ads are mocking the Christian faith. However, come November the joke will be on him.

YES WE CAN!

Laura, IN   August 21st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Well, that's one thing McCain has said right. He is still the ONE, the one person who can turn the tables from the WORST PRESIDENCY IN MODERN HISTORY.

same crap different day... that's how the repugs like to play nothing new
but making personal comments about the blue no real material
this already shows what kind of a president McBush will be.

same old ads, SAME OLD POLITICS!!!

bringing NOTHING NEW TO THE TABLE- THAT'S THE McBush WAY!!

i'll vote for the 'messiah' over the devil incarnate ,any day.any other christians care to join me?

gm   August 21st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

It should be a disgrace to any politician for their campaign (supporters) to use any reference to Christianity or any other religion to attck another person's camapign for office. If this is the only way McCain and his campaign staff can win votes they better take a hard look at themselves. All persons of any religion should turn their back on this kind of smut. Enough is enough>

Colin -- Southern California   August 21st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Look, if he's The One, we'd be fools to vote for McCain.

Frankly, I want The One running our Matrix, not Republican Agents who want to use us all as batteries for their diabolical purposes.

I'm voting for The One!!!

OBAMA 2008

Dosteovsky   August 21st, 2008 5:23 pm ET

OMG did I just hear McCain's campaign say being a POW affected his memory? They said he can't recall the number of houses he has because he was a POW? We don't want damaged, wrinkled brains in the white house.

Obama IS the ONE! It's about time America reclaimed her position. (and not the bent over one McCain's proposing ....)

Angela   August 21st, 2008 5:23 pm ET

I too vote for Obama as "The One".

Never McCain!!!

Obama is way smarter than McCain. Mcain was 5th from the bottom out of 895.

EDW   August 21st, 2008 5:23 pm ET

This is where the negative began. Obama would seem weak if he just sat and took it.

McCain is just fine with reinstating the draft. If you have kids you should be greatly concerned.

Dameun Strange   August 21st, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Yep. He is The One. The One I will vote for.

GO OBAMA 08!!!

No more politics of fear, Mr. Quick Draw McCain

Cynthia   August 21st, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Senator McCain makes some of the dumbest commericals and I can't see why people would believe him. Senator McCain is making a huge mistake in his mocking Christianity. He will eventually see making commericals about the "One" will in the end be his downfall.

Grandpa McCain needs to stop his fascination with the messiah. The conservatives still don't trust him and he is starting to freak me out.

Old white woman in Alabama   August 21st, 2008 5:20 pm ET

How childish, you think a man of McCain's age could come up with something of substance.

Paul Dobro   August 21st, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Does McShame really think this whole campaign is a joke? The distruction of America under Bush and we should just laugh off any solution?

Hey Straight Talk Express, if this keeps up, you'll have to go hire folks from Comedy Central to be on your staff.

Jeff D, South Bend, IN   August 21st, 2008 5:19 pm ET

The McCain campaign is utterly pathetic. Catering to the idiot population with lies and distortions is beneath his record of military and public service.

Ejm   August 21st, 2008 5:19 pm ET

When will McCain start discussing the issues instead of producing this negativity? I think the ad is absurd. I am undecided, but this type of ad has me leaning towards Obama.

Jeronimo!   August 21st, 2008 5:18 pm ET

McWaynes adolescent antics got him shot down over Vietnam.

If elected this 72 year old adolescent will make us all POW's (Prisoners Of another 4 years of George "W").

Again I ask...

What 'else' are the Republicans gonna RUN on...?

Their RECORD??????

PUH-LEEEEZZ!

Its easier to insinuate he is the antichrist and get it over with....

Texas Straight Talker   August 21st, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Does McCain ever intend to discuss the issues or tell us how he plans to lead as POTUS? Better yet, is he EVER going to explain why we should believe he is such a man of honor who uses straight talk when he cheated on his first wife and even filed for a marriage license while still legally married to his first wife? He used the excuse "that was over 30 years ago" as if that makes it ok. I am so sick and tired of him getting a free ride in the press while Senator Obama is under a microscope constantly!. When will he be held accountable for his mistakes, lies and gaffs? CNN when will you cover both candidates FAIRLY?????

Joseph, Los Angeles California   August 21st, 2008 5:17 pm ET

I think it's a very silly and childish ad coming from so-called adults. He's treating us like George Bush does; like children.

I'm voting Obama!

Ken in Dallas   August 21st, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Well.

Isn't that special?

No more McBush!   August 21st, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Typical gutter politics from the right – no surprise here. Comparing Obama to Moses – God's chosen one... We'll at least this will kill the muslim smear and bring more Christians and Jews to Obama's side!

Whatever happened to JMC's vow to run a "respectful campaign" vs. Obama or Clinton? You can Google it yourself: mccain pledges respectful campaign. The story ran in April this year.

No respect for JMC now, none whatsoever. Obama is hitting JMC on the issues and his Bush-like policies–those are all fair game. JMC and co. are fabricating stories.

Not that they actually care what you and I say or think, but SHAME upon them.

Cathy in MD   August 21st, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Desperation at its worst. And if it makes you feel any better, Senator Reid, I can't stand John McCain, either.

McCain's friend   August 21st, 2008 5:13 pm ET

You guys are so mean! Kind of sad that my friend, Senator McCain, can't remember that he only has 4 houses. Is that a short term or long term memory misfire? He's probably got a medical problem, but all you can do is poke fun at him. Not very nice of you!

Either way, don't anyone ask him how many toes he has! Could be publicly humiliating for his staff to get down on their knees to count them for him....

Denise   August 21st, 2008 5:13 pm ET

I do not fine anything wrong with this. I'd like to see McCain body surfing. The Obama campaign can tae this ad and turn it into a positive. I can see how this can be done.

How can you be 72 years old and still a childish juvenile?

Remember the 'Chelsea is ugly' joke?

If it wasn't for his 'rich daddy' and his 'rich wife' he would be a total failure!

Why do republicans keep sending us these silver spooned boys?

Chris   August 21st, 2008 5:12 pm ET

I agree that this seems a bit blasphemous. An odd tactic when you are aiming for Christian conservatives. I also think it is a bad idea for him to show Obama bodysurfing (virile). McCain would probably get more of a result from attacking the "above my pay grade" comment.

Obama 08/12   August 21st, 2008 5:11 pm ET

A must read
Go to "Military .Com " read the story by Philip Butler first hand information .Very interesting
Did you know grampa has not only lost his marbles its called childish he is regressing back to a baby and not far off is already wrinkled and depends on Depends is getting close now folks
so get youselves prepared he will soon be crossing that line .
I thought I was "The One " so how can there be 2 of us ? McWar you are confused again but thats just an everday experience for you isnt it McWar ?

I wish Mr. McCain would stop insulting those of us who are evangelicals but not haters and fear mongers. He makes fun of our faith in every one of these ads. Does he really expect my vote?
We have had messianic Presidents before: Kennedy, Reagan... and they were our BEST presidents. Why would we not vote to a return to the high road of morality in America? McCain will tear us apart for personal gain.

nobama – the democrats' new pariah. oops i mean messiah.

way to coronate the paris hilton of politics. he's famous and nobody knows why. probably because if you don't jump on his bandwagon you're called a racist. the dems are going to throw away the third guaranteed presidency in a row with another junk candidate hand picked by the DNC. maybe they should stop crowning which nominee is going into the general election.

nobama belongs on SNL and maybe a cameo in a B-grade movie. not leading the free world with zero experience and zero substance.

Ron   August 21st, 2008 5:11 pm ET

Oh Yeah.....JohnnyBoy has lost his mind.
It is so sad to see this old man acting like young fool.

liz   August 21st, 2008 5:08 pm ET

as usual, mcsame refuses to say anything of substance, so he makes an ad that is pure fiction and conjecture.

Obama has NEVER implied that he is some holy being, only McCain and his cohorts have implied that he thinks of himself that way. Unlike McCain, Obama has WORKED for his accomplishments, he didn't dump his first wife to marry into money and power.

Obama is very open about being a human who has made mistakes, meanwhile McCain conveniently forgets his own lack of morals and good judgement.

Jann, Denver CO   August 21st, 2008 5:08 pm ET

My God McCain is stupid. I can't believe such an immature fool is running for office.

Peter (CA)   August 21st, 2008 5:06 pm ET

No JC, we hate these ads because they play to the lowest common demoniator. I thought McCain had said he wanted to run an upbeat campaign...where is that?

Who but the lame right wing has labeled Obama "the One"? Why not discuss real issues? Maybe because McCain does not understand the economy, is wrong on the war, and does not care about health care??

Whatever shred of respect I retained for Senator McCain is now gone. Considering that I planned to vote for him in 2000 had he stayed in the race, that's something. As a Christian, I find this stuff highly offensive and as an American, I find it even more insulting. Yet another confirmation for why I left the GOP after decades of support.

Why won't McCain talk about the issues in his ads? Could it be that he has no argument? Could it be that he has nothing to contribute to the United States?

Michele, Pittsburgh, PA   August 21st, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Putting out garbage like this is not the way you go about getting the votes of Christian voters. Senator McCain, you used to be above ads like this. I'm not sure if I'm voting Obama, but I know I could not cast mine for McCain.

I hope the Repubs and undecideds who watch this ad realize just how STUPID McPander thinks they are. Self-respecting voters should feel profoundly insulted by him.

By contrast , notice how Obama engages people across the political spectrum intellectually and emotionally.

McSame has NOTHING to offer but his tired war stories, and he knows it. That's why he must resort to such ad hominem nonsense.

Adam LA, that is an excellent point. It would be interesting to hear Pastor Warren's position on McCain's use of blasphemous advertising for political purposes.

Please report on it CNN, including Focus on the Family and other religious organizations. Your Christian viewers would appreciate it.

Jason in Tucson   August 21st, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Even better than the last one, directly showing just how ludicrous Obama sounds sometimes. Lighting coming down to shine on people? What is Barack smoking?

I mean, seriously, do we need a president with a messianic complex? Do we need a president who is more interested in building his cult of personality than actually affecting real change and working to improve our economy and our standing in the world? Some of the people commenting on this blog might drink the kool-aid, but I won't.

According to these ads, Obama must be running for the lead in the next Matrix movie. Someone send the Republicans a message that he is running for president. This is not money well spent–just like some of the tax breaks for wealthy, take the jobs overseas, corporations.

McCain is bound and determined to run the most despicable presidential campaign in history.

I wouldn't trust this man to run my garbage disposal.

MLH   August 21st, 2008 4:59 pm ET

These ads are lame and stupid, and potentially offensive to any number of viewers. The fact that the McCain campaign fails to see what is offensive speaks volumes about the type of people providing input, and is the best argument as to why Senator McCain should most definitely not lead our country.

Mark G   August 21st, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Obama talks about McCain's not remembering how many homes he has, the fact that McCain thinks you have to make over $5 million to be rich, and McCains stances on the economy and his foreign policy (start a war). Americans are losing their homes, their jobs, and paying outrages prices for gas and groceries. People are in desperate need for help and all McCain can give us is "Obama is The One"...c'mon...are you kidding me? We have serious issues...we need a serious person to help us out. I for one can't afford to play these stupid games with my future and the future of my family...I am voting Obama.

Very witty comment, I like it. It's like when Obama was posed the question about going back to Iraq.

Obama said, "if Al Qaeda came back to Iraq after we withdraw, after American troops are withdrawn, then I would send military troops back if Al Qaeda established a base in Iraq.

McCain said, "Al Queda is in Iraq. It's called 'Al Queda in Iraq'" . Whoops :)

Using it to disparage OBAMA is crazy, OBAMA will release McCain ads targeting him as the one who say anything to get elected, they have done it for decades, the GOP/RNC, this time CHANGE will take place from the bottom up and not the top down like the GOP is use to!

This is absolutely brilliant. You can criticize all you want, but it works. That is the definition of brilliant. The problem with Obama supporters is that they are too self-absorbed to take a step back and admit a clever and effective ad when they see one.

Rick Warren is a liar. He stood on stage and lied to the nation as he knew John McCain was not even in the building. He knew John McCain cheated; and Warren was willing (and did) to help McCain look good and lie. So much for being a Christian leader.

McCain should stop with the message about Obama being the one and say he is the one that is the elitist the that doesn't know that there are people losing there homes and jobs the one that has so many homes he can't keep count of them.The one that Phil Gramm said that we were whiners when people said they were hurting.McCain is truly out of touch with the American people.I have seen where it is 7 and then 10 so I hope he can remember which home it is that he is suppose to go to at the end of the campaign.Maybe he will rememeber where the three in morning call comes from without having to rely on his staff to tell him where it was from.

WeBoDave   August 21st, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Senator McCain has been making negative ads since at least March when he implied Obama was "unamerican" which is clearly racist. Obama's ads have substantive criticism of McCain's policies, campaign or his actual quotes. How many negative ads have McCain and the RNC produced now, CNN? Is it substantive to portray Obama as elite, celebrity or "the one" which can equally be applied to Senator McCain?

Looks like to me that even McCain's camp knows that Obama is "The One" who is going to win. Depicting your opponent as the guy with all the interest, momentum, strength, popularity, and enthusiasm seems a weird tactic, and one that's destined to fail. But I suppose McCain will have plenty of time to sit around lamenting his choice of these ads when he's sitting a home in late November, wondering why he got beaten so badly.

John McCain's campaign released a sequel to its Web video about presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama that used footage of Charlton Heston as Moses parting the Red Sea, images of light streaming from the heavens, and a gospel choir to paint Obama as an arrogant politician who bought into near-messianic hype over his candidacy.

Funny how the Phallic picture is back, last frame of the ad.

Subliminal messages from Mc Cain's neo-cons, what else could you expect?

Squeezer   August 21st, 2008 4:42 pm ET

If McCain could get past his fascination with "ONE" maybe he could count how many houses he owns. (Hint for ya John: It's more than ONE.

undecided in ohio   August 21st, 2008 4:42 pm ET

putting out stupid ads like this is not the type of behavior i want in my next president

McCain that is blashpamy,

Moses is major biblical figure to us

Christian and comparing a politician to that important of figure is low, really low,
and if you feel that it's okay that speaks volumes of your character, tell us how you really feel about the bible and womens right?

I just got a really cool clip from “youtube” about Leadership that was very true.

Obama not a leader.
Obama is only a junior senator.

Just pay attention to his choices: Ayers, Wright, Rezko.
Some savior he turned out to be !!!

Joe Reg   August 21st, 2008 4:41 pm ET

McCain's campaign is being run by the administration of Bush. He got a blip lately but they are doomed this November. The people are not going to be fooled this time.

As far as V.P goes, I have read the augur or tea leaves and it's Tim Kaine of Virginia.

Obama/Tim 08/12.

J.C.   August 21st, 2008 4:41 pm ET

The more McCain camp mocks about The One, the less I want to vote for him.

The more Obama talks about McCain's housing number, the less I will vote for him.

Peter of Oregon   August 21st, 2008 4:40 pm ET

My friends... John McCain is not the one. Let me give you some straight talk... He is a leader that God has not blessed us with. He's been brought to us by his own self-ambition. His hand will not guide the world or this country. And I don't know where the Republican convention is, but wherever it is it doesn't matter. The light has been shined directly on what will happen during the Denver DNC convention.

But... Is McCain ready to lead? No...

McCain is right on target Obama is the one that will help the American
people through some tough times ahead.Energy program will help
all Americans.Health care issue he will come through with Congress
to provide health care for all Americans.Let us all get behind Obama
and make him the one to bring us all together and bring America back
to front and center in the world.

Lacy   August 21st, 2008 4:39 pm ET

"Is he ready to lead?" Absolutely.

Mark Wagner   August 21st, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Good job McCain campaign. A web clip? Seems like a waste of time, since most people who will see it will be Obama supporters.

Disgusted republican   August 21st, 2008 4:38 pm ET

This ad is sacreligious.

Sarah, Northern Colorado   August 21st, 2008 4:38 pm ET

When someone has no platform, they spend their campaign dollars on belittling their opponent, rather than stating their platform. This is what I see McCain doing. He is like a tenacious bulldog who refuses to remove his teeth from the back of the mailman's pants.

If change were so important to McCain, he'd change his anti-Obama message, rather than pushing the same point home over and over and over and over again.

jack   August 21st, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Wow,

McCain seems the least ready to lead with this type of trash. His attempts at blasting Obama will not go un-noticed, come election time.. This guy is completely out of his old, simplistic mind. To use religion as a ploy is disrespectful... McCain SUCKS!!!!

Go OBAMA!!!

E.C.Coleman   August 21st, 2008 4:37 pm ET

THE AD IS GREAT AND COMPLETELY ON TARGET. NOBAMA IS NOT READY TO LEAD AND HAS NO JUDGEMENT WHATSOEVER. WE'LL SOON SEE HOW BAD HIS JUDGEMENT IS WHEN HE CHOOSES A VP. MCCAIN IS GOING TO WIN ANYWAY.........AT LEAST.....'MCCAIN HAS THE RIGHT STUFF!' MCCAIN WILL MAKE THIS COUNTRY PROUD...........JUST WAIT AND SEE!

Daryl from Seattle   August 21st, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Wow, they're literally running out of material over in the McCain camp.

I'm still concerned by two things though. One, this 'so-called' surge in the polls for McCain and Two, the oil prices starting to go up again. The surge in the polls leads me to believe that we're being softened up to accept when McCain wins dishonestly, just like Bush's victories. Another sign is that the oil companies are no longer afraid to use their speculators to drum up prices again. I think the presidential seat has already been bought and paid for folks.

Lesley   August 21st, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Why aren't all of McCain's evangelicals that seemed so pleased with him complaining about these God-like ads? This is really blasphemous. Besides, Obama clearly stated at Saddleback that God will take care of evil, whereas McCain claimed that Bin Laden is evil and he would take care of him, that he knows how to do it. Seems like McCain thinks he's God!

USMC Mike   August 21st, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Toby   August 21st, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Rarely do we get a political add that is equally insulting to the religious and to the nonreligious. Of course, his supporters support it. We can just hope the rest of the country takes a hard look at it and comes to the inevitable conclusion about McCain.

Dylan in CA   August 21st, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Wow... the McBush campaign gets sadder and more pathetic by the day. Have the kids who run this disaster graduated from high school yet?

Nia from Minneapolis   August 21st, 2008 4:36 pm ET

And you wonder why the rest of the world thinks we are crazy. Look at the caliber of thinking that McCain represents.

You Know Who   August 21st, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Judging from the amount of excitement he is inflicting on the population, I would say he is more ready than following:

McSame
McWar
McBush
McShame
McSurge
McSenile
McInsane

Former Republican   August 21st, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Someone who doesn't know how many houses he has and has no clue what it means to be rich is not in touch with the average American. He is out of touch and does not have the temperament to lead. In fact, just imagine George Bush with a temper!!!

I'm so sick of McCain, his campaign is so full of it. Using a religious overtone to attack obama is disgraceful. He's become everything he hated about bush in 2000. I'll be surprised if next he doesn't come out and say god wants him to be elected because he's "pro-life", but the fact is, he just wants more live babies so he can have more dead soldiers for when he reinstates the draft.

Sean   August 21st, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Everything coming out of McCain's mouth about Obama these days is a lie. How am I supposed to trust that McCain will live up to anything he ever pledges to do if he's capable of lying so easily and blatantly in order to further his personal career? I used to respect the man, but now I find him repugnant.

I even liked him to the point that originally, as a registered independent, I was torn between he and Obama. No more. The choice is easy at this point. I'll take the guy who has some recognition of the concept of ethics – Obama all the way.

Sean   August 21st, 2008 4:35 pm ET

OBSERVERING: Do you even know what he was referring to, or what the whole quote was? Or are you so intent on bashing Obama that it doesn't matter?

Lies and disinformation will only carry you so far, Senator McCain.

Then they have a habit of boomeranging on the one who lied.

Prepare for the Obama Boomerang, Senator. It's coming at you sooner than you think!

Nimi from NY   August 21st, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Yes. He's the one alright and you are not. Why shouldn't he be the one? After all the ad is a little too old as you are. You will turn 72 by the end of the month and can't remeber anything you're asked these days. Why then do you think you will remeber to do anything if elected? While Obama's numbers may have dropped yours haven't actually gone up. So, McCain go figure.

John Smith   August 21st, 2008 4:34 pm ET

The Democrats are so self-destructive! How can anyone with a brain larger than a bird ask Obama to choose Hillary (and Bill) to return to the White House.

Such a choice will wake up even DEAD Republicans to return to the pools. Let the active Hillary supporters understand that Hillary (or Bill) is NOT fit to return to that White House.

Like Bill, McCain is loaded with past sins that will forever hunt America, if he were to be President. Cindy McCain stole someone else's husband

Deb, Allentown, PA   August 21st, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Justin (ny, ny) - INFOMRED voter   August 21st, 2008 4:33 pm ET

I mean, really – how utterly despicable and pathetic is this line of "attack"??? They're not even attacking his policies anymore (presumably because the McCain camp realizes that Obama is RIGHT on just about every single one – while McCain doesn't actually have any policies to speak of).

For you McCain voters – why are you voting for him? Which "policies" of his speak to you the most? Is it the anti-celebrity view you like? Or is it his hatred of tire gauges? or do you guys LOVE nukes, and war, and tax breaks for billionaires? which of those things is it that draws you to McCain?

paul LA   August 21st, 2008 4:33 pm ET

I have not heard McCaine answer a question yet he always say what he wants to do . I want a million dollars and four houses like him in five years. OH but how will do this? Obama explains.

Dianne   August 21st, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Cameron Johnson   August 21st, 2008 4:32 pm ET

We should all note that it's a web ad... Their campaign isn't putting a substantial buy behind it, which means it's just another flash in the pan that will gather attention for a few days.

However, Obama's ads, which are targeted for their states and running in huge volumes, are actually making an impact... :)

What's wrong with Pelosi saying that God has

Bush say that God told him he would be President?

I think this will actually backfire on McCain, as he's
using Christian imagery to ridicule his opponent.
Whatever happend to being blessed and saved, John?
Does being a Christian give you a green light to use
your faith to mock Obama?

Brian   August 21st, 2008 4:28 pm ET

McCain owns 7 houses….. he wants the people of this nation to give him Number 8 at tax payer cost!

McCain also is going to use Tax Payer money to convince Tax Payers to put him in his 8th house!

Just say NO to McCain's 8th home!

Celeste   August 21st, 2008 4:28 pm ET

The McCain camp has adapted the same old (negative) strategy enforced by the GOP for the last 8 yrs. Americans will deserve what they get if they fall for it AGAIN, and vote the Republican party back in office.

Obama's campaign needs to turn up the heat, take off the gloves and employ all the necessary tactics to thwart the diabolical efforts of these people who have essentially hijacked the presidency, holding the country at ramsom. How much more is the American people going to tolerate? Have you all not had enough...we'll see.

TheTruthHurts   August 21st, 2008 4:27 pm ET

OK America. We have to decide. You know we don't like this stuff and we know both parties do it. We have to decide how to punish both sides for this. Staying home out of disgust is not sufficient. I know it's disgusting and a waste of time and more importantly, a denigration of the public. This does not speak well of our Republic and we have to make sure the adults take control. We are those results. This is not about a candidate or an election, it's about whether we're going to allow this country to be run in the ground or not. It's up to us, not Obama or McCain. Not the House or the Senate. It's up to us. It's getting out of hand and WE need to reign it in.

HOW? Educate the ignorant for whom this drivel works. Engage them in being informed citizens that are immune to this stupidity on both sides. DEMAND answers to critical questions and not placations and empty rhetoric regurgitated from last cycle.

If we don't (like the housing bubble), we only have ourselves to blame.

Well, I would have considered voting for you, but you pander to the far right nut jobs: How do you address evil? "DEFEAT IT!" You used to understand that the world's problems are little more complex.

Thank you GOP, a reminder of where the original negative ads came from in the first place, and an absolute confirmation of ads based on baseless slander and lies, as opposed to ads that actually are based on truth.

A solid streak of 27 years of bad decision making actually is not something to brag about. In addition, I've noticed that this kid from Chicago/Hawaii is unlike any democrat I've ever seen. He has voted to enhance my Veterans benefits and I kind of like that. When a supposed war hero tries to sucker punch him, he's able to jump up and body slam the guy to the ground, proving he's got sand in his boots and I have to respect him for it. He is able to inspire our young, and I have to admire that. He is able to talk about issues and I have to appreciate that. And he is able to be embraced by the world and I have to feel good about that.

ruth   August 21st, 2008 4:23 pm ET

I think its a slap in the face toward religion. Sen Obama never implied he is the one. and for mccains camp to think anyone want to see a mockery of God, shows he does not have a true belief in God. Grow up already Mccain, this is getting old and tired, and for those of you who support Mccain, don't you think he could make better use of your donations?

Its mcsame who is the anit-christ. this is supposed to grab the headlines away from mcsame not knowing how many houses he has. stupid ad!!!

Keep making jokes about how much everyone likes him. That'll show people how much everyone doesn't like him.

Wait a minute...

Keith R.   August 21st, 2008 4:23 pm ET

So, if God Himself came down and ran for Presidency, McCain's statement is "He isn't ready to lead"??

Sylvia   August 21st, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Yes, HE is the ONE! Yes, He is ready to lead.

Armageddan is at the door   August 21st, 2008 4:23 pm ET

McViolence and his cronies are correct, Obama is 'THE ONE'. It certainly isn't his mentally challenged butt.

Chris   August 21st, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Thanks for playing the antichrist card again, John. Real nice tactics from a politician who is supposed to be putting "country first".

Obamalism   August 21st, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Intertaining at the very least. McCain's ads are affective because it's hard to respond to someone calling you out on self-importance.

Pie in the sky – hope and change. More like hype and.....

good2know   August 21st, 2008 4:22 pm ET

...so it's safe to say that McCain's camp is in love with Obama. Maybe this could be a great time for McCain to learn the way to speak with people...with faith, hope, and believe with your work.

Thank God for another option...OBAMA!

Helene   August 21st, 2008 4:22 pm ET

There is only one and it is Obama ! I only have one house but McGreedy has 7 and would like another one, preferably big and White. He has one wife but had one mistress not so long ago and one ex-wife. As to a brain, I wonder if he has one ...

Tony   August 21st, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Bush and MCCain = "One and the SAME!"

California Gold   August 21st, 2008 4:22 pm ET

I can always tell when the Obama campaign is getting under John McCain's skin: he comes out with ridiculous ads.

Getting a little hot and bothered are we John?

Gloves come off   August 21st, 2008 4:22 pm ET

LOL I loved these commercials. Scary truth is that some people actually pray to Obama. As if praying for him is not enough.

I'm glad RNC is busting out Pelosi's favoritism towards the candidate.

Pelosi
Richardson
Dean

All can kiss their jobs goodbye for their influence with the delegates.

Anonymous   August 21st, 2008 4:21 pm ET

CNN, still not one word about McCain's statement that he does not disagree with the need to reinstate the draft?

Did anyone call his campign to get clarification?

God knows John McCain doesn't speak for the McCain campaign.

T.O, New York, NY   August 21st, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Yawn

Ignoramuses.....Are we still on this? Oh I forgot – it works; majority of the American electorate don't vote based on facts. They're either just too lazy or intellectually inept to find out the facts.

I see the world & US allies laughing at us

CT voter   August 21st, 2008 4:21 pm ET

And Bush can take his national debt that's he DOUBLED to his side.

Don   August 21st, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Go count your houses Senator then get back to us, loser

Darren   August 21st, 2008 4:21 pm ET

"The One" is obviously easier to count to than "The Seven" houses McCain forgot owning.

CM   August 21st, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Watch the spellbound Repubs lap this one up.

Yes its on the Internet. The same one McCain doesn't know how to use.

Apparently his aides have to keep track of his houses and google stuff for him as well. Sounds like those guys are the real presidents-in-waiting.

Osa   August 21st, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Frankly this stuff is too old now John? "The One" alright we get it, lets talk policy grand pa!

Mike, Syracuse, NY   August 21st, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Obama's The One all right. He's case zero of the political HIV outbreak. But there is a cure. Vote McCain and call me in the morning.

CT voter   August 21st, 2008 4:21 pm ET

That's just pathetic, Obama may be going negative but atleast he is hitting Mccain on the issues! The cold hard FACT'S! What the hell is this opinion crap about "the one" what utter bull, what the hell does this have to do with anything?? God America PLEASE don't vote in another idiot, nevermind a senile idiot!

Can't we just split the U.S into 2, Obama being one president of one side, and Mccain being the other, lets see which one prospers.

Doug R.   August 21st, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Brian Rogers questions whether or not Obama is ready to lead.
Question for you Rogers...was George W. Bush ready to lead?? Did you vote for McCain in 2000??
Hey, ask McGrandpa how many oil rigs there are in the Gulf of Mexico.

obamaton   August 21st, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Laugh now, unbelievers, but the time will come when you ALL will be rounded up and interred at BHO re-education camps for correctional instruction and training. Those that escape or do not comply will be driven into the sea!

Lame Part II

gl   August 21st, 2008 4:19 pm ET

The McShame camp can not get enough. McShame the Obama camp is fighting you back and hitting hard. Why the Republ keep playing with God you fools.

Nia Hussein- Phoenix, AZ   August 21st, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Still using that blasfamous angle the McDraft?! You do realize this is not what a christian does right?

Anonymous   August 21st, 2008 4:18 pm ET

I'm sorry, who's campaign released this?

mary, texas   August 21st, 2008 4:18 pm ET

he is the one... the one who will win in november.

hillybilly   August 21st, 2008 4:18 pm ET

if he is the 'one'? he gets my vote!definitely BIG changes gonna come.

Marie, NV   August 21st, 2008 4:18 pm ET

So McCain's an adulterer, absent father to first "first" family and now he's moved on to blasphemy. I guess family values and respect for religion aren't Republican themes any more...

Obama Supporter from FL   August 21st, 2008 4:18 pm ET

I find it completely disgusting that they have to play into this whole "Obama is the Anti-Christ" trash.

I've got multiple degrees, my mom is a successful business owner, and even she forwarded me a viral email suggesting Obama was the Anti-Christ (mostly just because it was outrageous). For the McCain campaign to actually use this theme is the most revolting thing I've ever seen in politics.

And WcCain still ain't the one....   August 21st, 2008 4:17 pm ET

I'd rather have Obama's hand guiding the world than W's...I mean WcCain's shaky old hand.....

The World Can' Take More of Bush/McCain War Mongering   August 21st, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Can the McCain ads get more juvenile. McCain will continue to "lead" America to war and depression while his lobbyist buddies make millions and avoid taxes.

Stacy Clarks, TX   August 21st, 2008 4:16 pm ET

won't work this time sir

OBAMA!!!!

Adam, Los Angeles   August 21st, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Rick Warren should have asked McCain about this. Maybe CNN can get a comment from Warren. I'd like to hear what he has to say.

BV   August 21st, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Lame the first time, lamer the second time.
Of course, I guess you would find this funny if you were from the generation where 'Remember Pearl Harbor' wasn't just a slogan, but something you can actually DO.
Back to the Home McCain! Time for your meds!

politicojunk   August 21st, 2008 4:15 pm ET

He looks good in swim trunk. Let everyone see how you look mcguff.
