Obama continues to explain the McCain campaign's strategy. I think the strategy is pretty self-explanatory given the copious attack ads. Obama should simply state that McCain's treating Americans like they're stupid, and someone who stoops so low and displays so little judgment and insight doesn't warrant much mention.

Talk about sleaziest campaign in modern history? shows that obama is still green, Obama is the king of sleaze.

obama disses John McCain an American Hero Icon. That is unbelievable. Some gave all to serve their country, while Obama gave a speech.

The McCain campaign criticized Obama for showing “zero restraint” given the storm and said “today’s attacks mark a new low from Barack Obama.”

But Obama is cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history,

His discredited ads with disgusting lies are running all over the country today. Obama runs a campaign not worthy of the office his is seeking.”

When the lies come back to roost, it is nice to McCain can only respond with another round of faux outrage since they can't defend the smears they've spewed onto the airwaves.

As McCain puts it so delicately, "Campaigns are rough things."

Get over it, Tucker! McCain's powder is all wet at this point . . . I guess he should have held onto his integrity a bit longer.

Where was Mr. Any Time, Any Where when McCain was asking for 10 townhall debates? Now that he's behind in the polls he wants to debate? Suck it up and stop the whining! I'm sure McCain would love to debate you. He will crush you on every issue. That's why you wouldn't debate in the first place.

Thank You. The Obama Campaign is finally slamming McShame. McCain and his campaign will say and do anything to gain advantage. They have changed their message pre and post the RNC convention. They have spewed lies, misrepresented the Democratic position on Taxes, Immigration, Economy etc and will go down in flames come November.

They McCain Campaign is a desperate, vile and disgusting group.

Is this the change they plan on bringing to DC?

If you think Obama is at a "new low", what about that kindergarten remark about teaching our 6 year-old sex education? All the news media, talk shows, and Americans know that was a blatant lie. So do you! Let's talk issues and a better life for all Americans.

Good, Sen. OBAMA, has to stick to the issues....... and not allow himself to become distracted by the GOP attacks, LIES and dysfunction!

Come on, Sen. OBAMA, please talk about the Bush/Cheney/McCain legacy:

OVER 4100 TROOPS KILLED IN IRAQ FOR OIL

SPENDING, EVEN TODAY, $1.38 BILLION .......A ...........DAY....IN IRAQ!

THE $490 BILLION DOLLARS IN DEFICIT FOR 2009!

THE NUMBER ONE REASON AMERICANS FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY....... HEALTH CARE!

HOW THE AVERAGE AMERICAN'S WAGES HAVE DROPPED FROM $61,000 IN 2001 TO $60, 000 THIS YEAR!

KEEP CALLING THE GOP ON THEIR MISTAKES AND FAILURES!

MCCAINS CAMPAIGN ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT OBAMA,AND WHEN THEY DO ITS A LIE AND NOBODY CALLS THEM ON IT. I WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR HIM, BUT I CANT HANDLE HOW HIS CAMPAIGN IS RUNNING A LOW GUTTER POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. IF THATS WHAT IT TAKES ,HE DOESNT BELONG IN THE WHITEHOUSE. THIS IS HOW HE WILL TREAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Way to go Senator Obama, let those lying McBush people have It.
Do you know they are also lying in Spanish?
As if we Hispanics were ignorant fools who are not paying attention. The worst climate for Hispanics right now is McCain's home State were we are being persecuted just because the way we look. Senator McCbush is trying to have his cake and eat too.
I hope CNN post this because they never post my comments.

McCain comes out with ads attacking Obama for teaching children how to avoid abuse from pedophiles – ! – and new facts come out each day about his own campaign lies, yet we're supposed to just believe whatever he says; Obama keeps bringing up specific facts and plans for the future, and HE's "sunk to a new low?"

The Republican convention was a sham. They pretended to care about the victims of the storms because they knew how badly Bush treated them after Katrina. I believe Obama actually really cares. When will Americans understand that the GOP isn't about most Americans? And no..........the GOP ticket does not want to debate the Dems. They will be forced to defend the last 8 yrs and why they have pushed this country into the ditch..........and don't care they did it either. If you put all of the social issues that affect most Americans on a paper you would realize that the Democrats were behind all of them. For the people........to help. Independents will go left this year..........
