McCain camp says Obama's still 'The One'
(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."

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
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
Yeah he's definitely "The One", The one who will lose to Mccain if Hillary's not on the ticket!!!
Wrinkled old gray haired man still yelling at clouds.
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.
Why this time???

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.
Okay, yellow teeth man shouts at the moon, and says we need more wars. Is he the one? Hell no.
This interesting, it's a sign that Obama attacking McCain on the issues, is working.
If McCain wins on the strength of crap like this, I'm moving to Europe.
McRichie Rich Wants To Be President, But Doesn't Even Know How Many Homes He Owns. One Word "Pathetic".
Talking About Being Out Of Touch. What A Fraud.
No Way 08
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.
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?
President Obama gave former Senator John McCain a phone call to wish him well on his 78th birthday. News at 11:00.
Wonder how many I can collect???

Yes, he is the one that is going to KDA.
That's funny, because when I think of McCain I think of him as being "Number Two".
I think McCain has dementia and Schmidt has limited impact. He's surely no Karl Rove.
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!
Still the one.....
Obama 08
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!
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.
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.
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."
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.
I guess desperation has set in with John McCain....Obama is the "One", and McCain is the "Not!"
