McCain Campaign Mocks Obama as Messianic in Web Video

Jake
When are you going to pick thru Obamas ads, of lies

And not very smart

I have to admit, that ad is pretty funny. We all know the whole “Barack as Savior” thing went too far, and now their just having a little fun with it.

The MSM is making my blood boil for not calling out this kind of ridiculous nonsense.
This country is really in trouble if this is what we are going to be getting from McCain’s campaign aided by main stream media.
I am sick and tired of this nonsense…

Is the McCain campaign making a mockery of religion?
How childish can they be.
I really think that they have really crossed a line today.

Haha! Great video and on the money.

Ok, that just ends it. I will not even consider McCain from this point on. What a low life, I do not want McCain in the US office. He has nothing. He just proved it.
By the way, I think that new ad actually might help Obama, it just goes to show you people are listening and for the most part we are not stupid, I do not need a bunch of crazy ads to make me think I am.

And here I though all of the comparisons of a candidate to the 120 year old moses would be reserved for McCain…Oh well, I guess his campaign assumed comparing Obama to Jesus or Mohamed might be a bit too forward…

This is beyond despicable, but completely in line with how Republicans run their elections. Throw as much ugly crap out there as possible to make any sane person not want to be involved with American politics, so they and their cronies can make themselves rich on the taxes we either pay or go to jail for not.
And it’s a complete misrepresentation to say that “both candidates” are doing this. There is only “One” in the mud right now, and that is the “political celebrity” coward named John McCain.

I lOVE IT!!!

To use a religious image or symbol can be treacherous. McCain is showing less and less decency. It looks a lot like Carl Rove play book. Unfortunately, McCain is not offering a better alternative
Go OBAMA

if i was ever a fan of mccain(which i never have been), i wouldn’t be one now. i am deeply offended that he would use religion(christian) to mock someone. he should be deeply ashamed of himself.

ick,
Uh, have you seen the newest polls? Tied. Even. After that world tour, with the adoring press coverage.
No wonder you Obamabots are depressed and grouchy today.
Looks like The Messiah is crashing down to earth. Love it.

very, very funny
and all in Obamas own words
thats even funnier…..
Oh I forgot – they were taken out of “context”.
good to know that the GOP is starting to get their gloves on and not taking any more body blows in Democratic code speeches……….
AAnd I don;t even particualry like McCain
thing is – I dislike Oz more…….

If that ad is sleazy, then David Letterman & Jay Leno are sleazy too since they’re now featuring humor about his arrogance.
Nice try. Sleazy? No. Funny as hell and true? Yes.
Next.

Obama himself said those words — he believed himself “the one”. he deserves the mocking — after all, he is the ultimate politician.

JR,
Even Hillary made fun of Obama once mocking him in a speech saying “the heavens will open, a light will come down” (the audience – of democrats- was dying laughing)…
Nice try though, but you lose.
Next.

Well I think it is funny the tables are being turned. Obama is now up against a team that can place the knock out punch.
If he thinks crying about what he looks like is going to get him a break from the Republicans he is finding out that card won’t play.

few
Yes, they were taken out of context. Is that not a problem for you? Apparently not.

For 8 years the Bush haters have complained how arrogant he is.
Bush ain’t got NOTHING on Obama.
Once Bush said he thought God wanted him to be president. The left had a field day.
What Bush NEVER said however, was that he IS God.
LOL. Nice try again Obamabots – but your guy is a joke.

I am so glad to see McCain still has it!! I was afraid he was loosing his fight! This ad is great! It really made my day. I hope everyone sees it!

JR,
Even Hillary made fun of Obama once mocking him in a speech saying “the heavens will open, a light will come down” (the audience – of democrats- was dying laughing)…
Nice try though, but you lose.
Next.

*************************************
and what happened to hillary?
oh that’s right she LOST. mccain has over-played his hands this time, abusing the christian faith to win political points.

This is a fantastic ad!
For Obama!!!!

Aleluya. Reverend Barrack Obama. I can’t tell if Obama is auditioning to be the president or to be the preacher at Trinity United States Church of Christ. Aleluya…Or maybe, both. He is not only flip-flopping but he also holds on to two or more positions on different issues. Reverend Wright mentored Obama for 20 years.

It can be a funny ad, but on the other hand, it seems bitterly sarcastic, desperate, and offensive. I don’t think it was the wisest ad to run for the McCain campaign. Where have we gone since those harmless black and white “I like Ike” ads and the catchy slogans and original campaign songs?

If McCain keeps this up he will convince my republican husband to vote for Obama. The more smears hubby sees, the angrier he becomes at the GOP. When will McCain’s ads start focusing on what McCain stands for rather than just bashing Obama? Or…maybe the ads do tell us exactly what McCain stands for!

I guess the real John McCain is showing through in how he is allowing his campaign to be conducted….I thought the man had honor. I was mistaken. He is just another shameless politician that will do anything to win. Worse, he is a crotchedly old man who provides nothing but tired old idea that have driven this country into the state it is in today. More of the same crap we’ve seen for the last 20 or so years..

I think McCain’s campaign is taking cues from Jon Stewart of the Daily Show.
I wonder what Jews and Christians will think of McCain using Moses for political gain?

Aleluya. Reverend Barrack Obama. I can’t tell if Obama is auditioning to be the president or to be the preacher at Trinity United States Church of Christ. Aleluya…Or maybe, both. He is not only flip-flopping but he also holds on to two or more positions on different issues. Reverend Wright mentored Obama for 20 years.

**********************************
i should thank mccain for making Obama more religious. now mccain will have to answer why he chose to abuse christians in his ad.

Christians will LOVE this ad.
What Christians DON’T LOVE is Obama pretending to be the Second Coming. THAT is offensive.
And since when have Obambaot lefties ever cared what Christians think?! Ha!
Nice try. Lol.

No its the other way around–the Paris and Britney ads should only upset Paris and Britney–to be any way compared to that looser!

Oh, I’m embarrassed for the man. I think he has forgotten the issues of the campaign. Guess I just won’t vote.

From USA Today:
Which candidate would do a better job on energy, including gas prices?
–Obama: 41%
–McCain: 28%
–Neither would do a good job: 21%
–No opinion: 10%
nuff said.

Moses led people away from the disaster of the entrenched leadership that was a disaster.
If McCain wants to tell me that Obama is like Moses – that’s ok with me.
Because we need someone to lead us out of the Bush debacle.
McCain has been around for decades and hasn’t fixed anything – other than dumping a poor wife for a rich one.

“And since when have Obambaot lefties ever cared what Christians think?! Ha!”
And they diss the elderly on a daily basis, with their snide remarks.

Just when I thought Sen. McCain couldn’t go any lower than to use Britney and Paris in a whiney ad — now he’s taking the rubbish from the far right fringes and calling Obama “The One”?!! The Messiah??!!!
This is an insult to my intelligence, and to my religion.
Mr. McCain, I had some idea that I might cast my lot with you.. but no more. If this childishness is how you show your “maverick” side, you need a TIME OUT.

I knew it would be a matter of time when one of McCains ads would come back and bit him. This one may be it.
My faith is important to me and not some joke.

Jake
A little clarification please. You say “McCain campaign” with no indication of how we know it is from the McCain campaign. All you say is “a new web video.” A new web video WHERE?

What the heck? Glad I didnt vote for this guy in the primary…..still, Mccain is the lesser of two evils and at least he has some experience.
Wow, is this what the campaign is going to come down to? The Race Card, Celebrity status commericials, pointless bickering back and forth?
Heck, just cancel the debate, have a cage match between the two and put it on PPV, the proceeds can go back to the people as an economic stimulus.

This ad is so counterproductive it supports the thesis that the Roveian crew recently brought over the Bush Whited House are demoting McCain into a stalking horse for a replacement candidate to be named, such as Jeb Bush.
The Hilton/Spears ad at least had a racist subtext, but unless this Moses ad is aimed at anti-semitism, it serves only to deliver even more positive graphic images of Obama, and make McCain sound like a jealous junior high school student.

OBAMA 08!
Thanks again McCain camp, for making McCain look so pathetic!

Fanantical Evangelicals will also see that McCain’s camp is now alluding to a smear campaign that is painting Barack Obama as the Anti-Christ! This is shameful. I’m embarassed for John Mc Cain because his legacy is being torn to shreds by his advisors, and I believe he’s either naive or senile enough not to know they’re sabotaging him. If those campaign advisors can lead him into this type of thought process NOW, think of the disaster that would come of his presidency…possibly even worse than George W. Bush.

Laughing at McCain,
You guys are hilarious. It all gets back to Hannity or Rove!
Why not look in your own backyard at George Soros. The indicted felon billionaire that is fiancing The Messiah. And he’s not even American.
Poor Obama. Tied in the polls after all that work. The media looks so depressed after all their hard work.
Poor dears. Lol.

More propaganda full of baloney. McCain is losing it. When is he gonna start talking politics? That’s what he gets paid for, right?

McCain is going to beat King Bush on dirty politics. His 72 years is getting to him. While doesn’t McCain talk on the real issues, does he have any real programs to help the USA. Guess not. He waste air time week after week, he even acting like an old senile man.

We have been making fun of Obama in our office for months now. We call him the “annointed one”. I personally love McCain’s ads because they are so funny and soooo true! I think these journalist cannot handle anyone poking fun of their Chosen One! I don’t see McCain as bitter, but I do think the media needs to look in the mirror long and hard, because they only seem to have negative things to say about McCain and they make up excuses all the time for Obama.

I am a Repub and I have to say McCain is disgusting me. We went around saying Obama was full of hot air. Now McCain is full of hot air. Instead of taking stupid High School shots at Obama why doesn’t he debate about something concrete? If McCain is trying to shoot himself in the foot he’s doing a good job. Obama is looking better and better to me.

The stupid adverts are just showing how low the level of incompetence of McCains organization and skills.
These are NOT good for McCain.
The old bad tempered bungling fool is only digging his nearing grave more so.

How dare Senator Obama”s own word mock anyone faith. Please, Obama–think before you speak as THE ONE.

You would think that candidate who comes along that tries to inspire hope in the election process and get new people involved in politics would be a good thing.
I guess not when the mainstream media is concerned.
I don’t know if the tv media, (ABCNews, CNN, etc.) realize how they are framing the debate but it is glaringly obvious.
Not that I support either candidate, but the television coverage has been dominated by McCain’s false and rediculous attack ads. Not by anything positive regarding Obama. This has got to be exactly what McCain’s campaign manager wants and is complete Rovian.
TV media, you are being played!

“…Then again, the John McCain of 2000 lost.”
Thankfully, so will the John McSame of 2008!
Get used to it, Jo.
Obama 2008

When an ad uses the candidates OWN WORDS and the reaction is LAUGHTER then you know you have a great ad.
McCain – where can I send my check? You’re doing a great job.

“Obama why doesn’t he debate about something concrete”
Because Obama is afraid to debate?

Typical stupidity coming out of the republican playbook. Seems like only Ron Paul had a lick of sense over on the rep side.

Steve, Reagan came along and inspired hope, and love of country and inspiration, etc. etc.
And you guys hated him.
So don’t pull that crap.
Nice try but you lose.

Such ads are a reflection of what McCain’s campaign thinks of the public. Sure enough some of us are responding the way they expected us to. God help our country.

Does McCain have ANYTHING about the issues facing our country to say?

You KNOW it’s bad for Obama when David Letterman uses his arrogance for his Top Ten List (last week)….and he’s an Obama supporter!
Wow.
Pride cometh before the Fall. That “fall” will be in November.
Yahooo

So far, the commenters who think the ad is fine, agree with the stated message of the ad, and support McCain, have all missed the point regarding the context of the statements used and are selectively picking their truths.
Following the logic displayed here in this thread by the aforementioned supporters of this ad, the Obama campaign could now run ads exclaiming that McCain firmly believes in his deepest soul that Barack Obama is the second coming of Christ and that MCcain, as a Christian, is asking to call off the election. But they won’t, because that would be stupid.
I’ve never seen a more desperate presidential campaign than that of John McCain. He’s being led by the nose to failure and he doesn’t even see it. As an example of how completely lost he is, witness this piece from the opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal:
“Is John McCain Stupid?”

McCain’s campaign has been so disappointing in so many ways. The straight talk is gone and we are left with this trash. Obama, who really spoke about the issues specifically today DOES seem to be the only candidate ready to lead right now. McCain seems only ready to follow—his staff.

“You would think that candidate who comes along that tries to inspire hope in the election process and get new people involved in politics would be a good thing.”

This belongs on SNL, not as a release from a supposedly “mature” presidential campaign. Simple question to all the fools saying this is funny: were the other side to release a video showing McCain drooling on himself, stumbling over his lines, forgetting that Iraq doesn’t share a border with Afghanistan, would it be funny then? No, sanctimonious morons from coast-to-coast would be up in arms.

Any wonder why our country is on the road to Perdition has been settled, McCain is following the exact footprints of George W. Bush. If there was any doubt before there is none now. This is not a game. Our country is at stake and now we see how much McCain thinks of his country and Americans. This is a game to him. It’s his ambition not America’s destiny that he cares.

McCain would rather destroy our country in order to win a political campaign. Obama puts Americans and country first. OBAMA ’08

It is really sad that republican apologist actually believe that these ads serve to persuade independents and moderates to come his way. I am a republican (more in the Paul mode), and I really get turned off by such stupidity. McCain should advertise his strengths not some silliness about Obama being a celebrity or the Moses.

While many think the ad was funny, the sad part if is reflects the intense dishonesty of the current Republican Party and those driving it into the ground.
Ken

That’s FUNNY! When you take yourself as seriously as Obama, you become a walking target for lampooning. We’ve been warning you about this ever since the Obama Girl and the other videos punching on Hillary Clinton. Sorry Barry ol’ buddy, but you stepped into the fist jab.
HA!!!
There may be entertainment left in this campaign yet. I can’t wait for the response from the left. Lighten up, kids. If B.O. does the 75,000 farm fest gathering in Denver, the satires will be over the top.

ChrisL 4 McCain: I am sorry to tell you but McCain is no ones hero but himself. I know several VA Vets POWs who totally dislikes the man and what he thinks he stands for. I also have a brother in the National Guard and they wished the man McCain would have just voted once to help them in Iraq and now that they are home. Your Hero is not much and he just proved it more so with this ad.

David Axlerod: “The McCain ads are insulting to the american people”….What are you talking about? I am an american and I am having fun with those ads…

Who is whining now?
—————————————–
McCain is getting desperate and shooting himself in the foot and soon he will be just sitting instead of barely walking.

Looks like the libs bought Obamas nonsense hook line and sinker. they just everyone else to jump on board also………………………………………..
If Americans buy this nonsense the McCain people are throwing at the public and he ends up winnig these elections, then my fears will be finally confirmed that majority of Americans are really really stupid.

“Democrats made a huge mistake in following the lead MOVEON.ORG to select Obama.”

This is what John McCain offers? We want our next president to spends his time ridiculing others to no ones benefit? His campaign is quickly becoming a laughing stock and he offers no policies for the future and when he is not talking about the “surge” he is complaining.

There is a time and place for silliness and there is a time and place for seriousness. Given the current economic, monetary and foreign policy disasters looming over our head, the silliness should be left to Will Ferrel and company. We need serious politicians that are serious about improving things.

I filled my tires with air and even tuned up my car, where is my relief at the gas pump? Is he a false messiah? Damn after Louis Farrakhan I never thought that would happen again.

The Obama supporters here are suddenly whining about words taken out of context? Consider that the next time The Obama says John McCain wants us in Iraq for, “100 years.”

HAHAHAA–the Democrats are getting a little upset now aren’t they? HAHAHA! I LOVE IT!!!

John McCain introduces the first race card advertisement in the 2008 presidential election.
This time, McCain is trying to cause a problem in the Latino community.
McCain isn’t the John McCain of 2000. For 8 years, McCain has voted with Bush on 95% of the votes.
In 2008, McCain uses Rove’s successor and runs dirty ads just like Bush.

If you don’t believe in religion, it is O.K. BUT YOU HAVE TO RESPECT WHOM BELIVE IN IT!
Mr McCain get a life!
Gil from Miami Fl

tony – 100 years….Don’t forget about the bomb, bomb Iran comment. It makes the Dean scream look like child’s play.

Sen. McCain is turning out to be a mindlessly stupid politician who has no principle at all. He would say or do anything to get elected President. His almost daily tirades, hyperboles and nasty campaign ads against everything Obama suggest to us an unethical, incompetent, angry, intemperate old man who can’t stand the very idea that a young, articulate, intelligent African-American contender now has a bright prospect of being elected President of the United States over him.

McCain cares nothing about the individual. He cares only about corporate welfare. He is there to protect his wife’s enormous company interests and I’m kind of wondering how he will lean now that her company is dependent on the now foreign ownership of her single client.

MCain gets more weird every day.

McCain reminds me of that crusty old penguin in Happy Feet.

I think McCain think’s he’s Moses. Lord knows, he’s old enough!

My whole family was voting for Obama but no more. It’s over. He’s become his biggest fan and that’s scary.

Obama is not Moses
you are awesome

It’s not an attack ad – it’s Obama’s own words with imagery.
Nice try but you lose. And so will Obama. Get use to it.

Reality Check wrote,It’s been amazing to see how unbelievably petty, arrogant, and self-absorbed, and bitter some of the Hillary supporters became once they realized that their QUEEN wasn’t going to get the nomination.
Well guess what, there were 18 million votes for her and by most polls, 6 million will vote against Obama and insure his loss in November.

Love the video! Glad to see McCain battling on Obama’s turf with a web video. Obama is so full of himself – people are getting tired of listening to his over-inflated, empty rhetoric; worse yet, they’re laughing at him. Bye Bye ‘Bama!

McCain is just jealous because the Red Sea wouldn’t part when HE tried it.

Lets look at Obama’s strong points. He is a very good speaker. AND THEN NOTHING!!!!!
He doesn’t have enough experience to run any company or any executive level of government. He has not been there and has not done that.
If any on you had a hundred million dollar company that you owned outright not a single one of you would hire Obama to run that company. He simply isn’t qualified to run any large organization, he DOESN’T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE.
As this add so clearly points out Obama is very clearly full of himself and most of us do not feel that qualifies him for anything.
This is the point of the add but the liberals think that being pretty somehow qualifies politicians for special consideration.
Obama is not qualified to be your local county sheriff!!!

What the heck is wrong with him. Who give a crap about who he compares him with. The dang economy is going to hell in a hand basket and all he has to do is compare Obama with everybody. What the heck !!!!!!

Obama can no longer wait until September to go on offense. He needs to go on offense now before McCain redefines him. Gallup tracking has them tied at 44% today.
Enough already. Barack you need to re-define McCain as an Old Intemperate Confused Man who cannot be trusted to make sharp reasonable decisions.
GO ON OFFENSE NOW.

Does anyone know that
The Chair Lord Obama sits in the plane have
“President”
He is not even nominee yet.
McCain is Right

If McSame is comparing Obama to Moses that’s a good thing isn’t?
What an angry old man… I’d never vore for someone who uses Rovian tactics anyway…
You go Obama…!
Obama08′ not 4 more years of Bush!

“6 million will vote against Obama and insure his loss in November.”

Joe, if you think McCain is mocking Christianity with this video then Rev. Wright’s brand of Christianity must have really had your knickers in a twist!

Every time I think about not voting for Obama, MCain manages to convince me that he is an even worse alternative.

Marylou, ^5
Excellent.

Isn’t it funny that even tho George Bush is hardly the most popular president—-McCain and Obama are tied in the polls. That ought to tell Democrats something about their candidate! We would rather have Bush or McCain than Obama—–and if that wasn’t true they wouldn’t be tied now. Haha! Great ad by the McCain camp!

Too late Obama has redefined himself. He plays on the last comic standing.
Obama can no longer wait until September to go on offense. He needs to go on offense now before McCain redefines him. Gallup tracking has them tied at 44% today.
Enough already. Barack you need to re-define McCain as an Old Intemperate Confused Man who cannot be trusted to make sharp reasonable decisions.
GO ON OFFENSE NOW.

Actually McCain has a lot to say. He wants to drill and Obama doesn’t.
Obama wants everyone to inflate their tires.
LOLOLOL.

Comparing Obama to our most revered biblical characters…wow that’s just not an attack really, more a compliment. Hey you guys haven’t called him Noah yet!! Obama Almighty. That has a nice ring to it…

Obama finally concedes his dollar bill remark was about race after lying about it for a few days.

Man, McCain’s ads are dumb as can be, but they’re pretty funny at the same time! I’m an Obama supporter, and these ads aren’t upsetting me at all…they’re making me laugh quite a bit.
Next up from the McCain camp: ads comparing Barack Obama to Marvin the Martian…

All I know are from the sounds of the internet this ad just pissed off a LOT of evangelicals.
so maybe McCain won’t have the cover to pick Ridge…
stupid is as stupid does Lt. Dan mccain.

I thought this was funny, who has the time to come up with these ads. This ad is not going to change votes

McCain and Obama neither doesn’t deserve to win. Face it folks… WE…ARE…SCREWED!!!

McCain just picked up millions of evangelical votes with this one. Evangelicals don’t like people equating themselves with THEIR savior.
There is only one God, and Obama you’re not it.
Keep it up Mccain! Tied in the polls! whooo hooo!

McCain is a military hero and I can’t even imagine what he had to endure during his time as a POW, he has my respect as far as this. But is he qualified to run the country? I have yet to see, read and hear anything at all this past week that would get me to vote for him. From all the headlines I’ve read, it’s all about one kid tattling and making fun of the other. My children are more mature than this. From all the negative media his side has put out this week, he needs to fire whoever has put this crap out among others and focus on the issues and what he can bring to the American people NOW! Issues people…
So, sitting in the middle of this political tug of war. We shall see. My one vote adds up.

To anyone that would support an obvious
phoney as B.H.Obama: Get over yourself!
Elect this inexperienced “still wet behind the ears” little boy and reap the consequences for the few years this country will have left!!!

“We would rather have Bush or McCain than Obama”—– b4uvote
It tells me a lot about you. You would rather have Bush after 8 years of corruption, incompetence, waste and war. What a complete idiot.

Obama’s over the top response to a New Yorker cover revealed a weak spot. His lack of sense of humor and an inflated ego

Tim…it doesn’t say President…It says Obama ’08/President. Get your facts straight. Did you know McCain gives weekly radio “fireside chats’ addresses, like the real President…. and he’s not even President. See how that works?

Actually, I think the McCain campaign has been pretty gentle so far. What are his supporters going to say when they play Obama in his own words making bigoted statements about a typical white person or how white people are bred. Those interviews are sitting out there on the internet and the public at large has yet to hear much of it. When McCain does use it, expect Obama to drop another 10 points in the polls.

McCain’s ads are childish, and he seems to be trying to bully Obama instead of run a campaign for President. Is this how he will handle foreign affairs? If a country doesn’t do what he wants, he’s going to call them names and play these little games?
To run a country, you should be able to act like an adult, be a great negotiator, work well with others,intelligent, able to get along with others.
Obama’s popularity is very similar to JFK’s, don’t you think?
Personally, I’m offended by McCain’s commercials and embarrassed that other world leaders see how immature our candidates are. We can do better.
JR – loved your outtake on the speech — good example of how you can take things out of context and have it say whatever you want!

If you people don’t see something wrong with this ad then you are as low as McCain and his staff. I now understand why the US is in the condition it is in. What a very ME ME ME world we live in. Never consider the other guy. This is the World Bush and the Republications have created for us, and some of you people have joined them. Do you go back and read your writings? I am embarrassed for most of you.

He knew to be elected state senator he couldn’t beat the incumbent Alice Palmer (a beloved black activist) so he hired a team of lawyers and they got enough names thrown off her petition so she couldn’t run. Even if it was something like cursive instead of printed, they threw it off. THAT is how Obama got his start.”

Does anybody really care about the issues and what the candidates are going to for America and the American people? All I hear is name calling and useless comparisons of candidates to celebrities. I don’t care what the candidates think about each other, I care only what they are going to do to help the country and its people. This is getting out of hand and personal just plain stupid. Of course some people love this stuff, but in the end it means nothing. I personal wish to hear about the issues and proposed solutions, not if someone can supposedly part the red sea! Please…if this is all McCain is focused on, it makes me wonder if he does have a plan for America? I am undecided, but McCain is not helping me lean towards him, with this negative garbage.

Belle: Obama is an empty suit? If McCain had substance – we would be seeing it – instead of juvenille frat boy ads. Substance? Okay. What’s his economic plan? Who are his advisors? What’s his education plan? Who are his advisors? What’s his foreign policy plan (aside from a 100-year war with mysterious financing and killling Iranians with cigarettes)? Forget about reform – he talked about reform for ten years and then surrounded himself with over 100 lobbyists. What’s his plan to reduce teen pregancy? What’s his health care plan and who are his advisors (aside from the insurance industry). Have to look it up? I bet you do. Good luck. There is no there there.

McShame have gone way tor far that it have sicken me.

The people influenced by these ads/propaganda were never going to vote for Obama anyway…
McSame OLD Rovian crap – for all the world to see. If this doesn’t justify a vote for Obama, I don’t know what does.

Who is Obama?
What does he believe?
Who is Obama?
How would he lead?
Who is Obama?

It all comes down to whether or not you think we should continue the bush policies. If you think the war should continue indefinitely, while we spend $10,000,000,000 a month, and you think that bush has done well with the economy then mc-more-war is your man. If you think that it’s time we start to get out of iraq and do some positive things for the average American instead of just the top 1% then vote for Obama.

Phil have you watched the television
a lot of people have actually gone on television ansd said they were embarrassed by these actions by the McCain campaign…
not to mention lots o’ evangelicals that are not too happy about his disrespect for this religion he seems to need to tell them he respects.

Before you ask who is Obama you could try going to his web site and try READING.

This is outrageous, McCain mocked Paris and Britney, and his mocking Moses all in a bid to win a presidential campaign, the thing will be for McCain to mock God.
McCain said country first, despite the fact that American slogan is God’s own country and now McCain is now mocking God’s disciples.
Well good luck to you McCain, you’ll know soon that its God that gives power and not man.

Suddenly, the Obamabots are worried about words being taken out of context. I wish they had been that concerned when they took McCain’s statement about being in Iraq 100 years and twisted it out of context.

This is one of the best ads I’ve seen yet…keep em coming!!! One only has to pay close attention to Obama and do their research to see, at best, he is nothing more than a fool and a buffoon…albeit a deceptively savvy and dangerous one. Fit to be president? Nope, just another far-left socialistic politician living in the fantasyland of his own mind, doing his best to deceive the American people into voting for “The One” whose policies, ineptitude, inexperience, and foolishness will do more damage to our great country than has been done in its existence. He’s the sole reason I will not be voting for any one in the Democratic party this election cycle. McCain…you’ve got my support AND vote!

Who is Obama? the next president of the US
What does he believe? in America and the people not the spin of your bad jokester McCain and that this war has hurt us…badly.

i have been a staunch democrat for 35 years but i am now voting republican. The democratic party has been taken over by the liberals and Obama is leading the way. Go McCain

How come if McCain shows Britney and Paris in a ad with Obama white people are racist? But if 90% of black people vote against Hillary white people are still racist.

Keep it coming McSame -it serves Obama well and makes you look like an OLD FOOL.

Celebs could care less about the price of gas, food and housing. McCain is right about Obama. If Obama plans go through on energy, you will pay $12 a gallon for gas. If the republicans win, gas will go down in price. McCain looks better every day !!!

Many people on this board are pretending to be Democrats. Maybe they should spend thier time trying to come up with economic solutions for our nation.
By the way, the same video could have been made about Ronald Reagon’s optimism when running against Carter.

FROM A INDEPENDENT MODERATE FROM MASS THAT AD WAS GREAT NOTHING LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF HUMOR MAYBE BARACK SHOULD TRY SOME OF THIS IT MIGHT MAKE HIM LOOK LITTLE BIT HUMAN INSTEAD OF HIM ACTING LIKE HIS IT.

McCain has the temperment of a 4-year old kid who had his toys taken away.

mccain=loser

I support McCain even if his ads fall short of Democrat Lyndon Johnson’s Daisy. Note that Johnson’s ad seems to have worked out very well.

McCain is on the low road to nowhere. His “humor” seems a little off, and these ads are only going to backfire. I hope he makes more, so he can self-destruct faster. Americans fell for these tactics in the past, but they won’t be fooled again.

John has stooped to a new low, comparing Obama to Moses, give me a break. Apparently John has entered his second childhood, no competent adult would approve such childish material.

everyone needs to take their heads out of their keyboards…
McCain is taking a hit from this ad.
One step to the cliff of no return…
Bad plans and stupid not well thought out attack ads of no substance …that are below the office of the Presidency…tend to scramble your chances over time.
this was a mistake…whether you think it is funny or not…you instigate a week of talking about Britney and joking that your opponent is moses rather than issues…
yeah america ain’t crazy about politicians that fight for …themselves.

Hey Obama, I put more air in my tires and we still have a gas crisis. You are a celeb, an airhead!

a new low, comparing Obama to Moses

I once saw a saying and it went something like this.
Small people talk about other people.
Mediocre people talk about things.
Great people talk about ideas.

Maybe you should review the liberal press and Obama speeches before you claim the attacks on him are not justified. Witting denials doesn’t correct Obama and his supporters way of presenting him as the grand answer to all problems.
a new low, comparing Obama to Moses

seriously, john mccain? really? this is just getting ridiculous!

(Sarcasm on)
Indeed, no one can touch Obama on the issues.
After all, wasn’t it a stroke of genius to realize that inflating your tires and getting regular tune ups DOES in fact comprise a realistic energy plan? (Sarcasm off)

This is just disgusting and even more when some people here thinks this is funny or has any decency whatsoever. I am now convinced that McCain and his people would prostitute their own family to win this election. This man has either no morals and values or is just simply an old senile demented fool who thinks this is what America wants to hear. McCain and his bunch brings shame to every American in the eyes of the world. Not even prior Republican candidate has ever stoop to such filth and garbage. Shame on McCain, shame on his surrogates, and shame on those that would support this kind of obscene garbage. I am shocked to think that a US Senator would act in such a dispicable manner. Instead of setting the tone for decency, values, and standard for our younger generation, he resorts to what amounts to tactics on the scale of pornography. This man cannot and should not ever represent anybody in any capacity, much less as the President of this nation.

That’s the problem with Bush supporters: they think everything was great until ’04.
Let me clue you in on something, thereisonlyonegod- us in the army were having a pretty tough time before ’04 getting supplies, weapons, and reinforced and up-armored equipment. So, maybe for YOU it was all good, but for those in uniform, it wasn’t. All you did was fly a flag scream ‘god bless the troops’ and go about your life. You didn’t sacrifice ANYTHING for us. Thanks a lot. While most Americans are out at the amusement park, American soldiers and marines continue to fight hard

they can’t touch Barack on the issues.+++++++++++++You right it is hard to talk about some ones on issues if they stand for nothing, they back nothing and believe in nothing,

We mere mortals were wondering why some people passed out, cried at Obama campaign events or what would cause a man to admit to tingles up the legs at the mere mention or thought of him.
Hmmm. Mccain may be on to something.

How much does Obama want to pay blacks for slavery?
Can’t they just overfill the air in their tires like the rest of us?
Obama’s Air Tax Holiday.

Obama can self-inflate his tires with all of his hot air.

This is offensive. He is portraying Obama as the anti-Christ. I suppose the media will more or less give him a pass on this. His campaign says that it is just suppose to be comical. Enough is enough. John McCain, do you have any substance at all? What about focusing on the issues?

It is becoming apparent that John McCain is not only OLD but SENILE. Only someone without their faculties would carry on like this.

Jo it’s a gimmick…like this ad…
the republicans don’t want to leave until the il companies get there way.

I have listened to McCain during some of his little gatherings and have yet to hear him answer a question when his audience asks. He talks on and on while saying absolutely nothing and still does not answer the question being asked.
This senile old coot is beyond pathetic. Someone in the McCain camp needs to reel this senile old man in.
So much for McCain talking about the issues – the man is so out of touch with reality, that he doesn’t even know what the issues are.

Waahhhh!!!

“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for,” The man is pure arrogance, condescending, racist, elitist, and is the farthest thing from a leader. He has no experience and of the two years that he’s spent in the Senate, he spent it on the road campaigning. Then he flops across the landscape expecting to be at his call because if we don’t obey, he’ll call us racists. If that suit is more empty, there would be a vacuum.

A lot of things have been said about Barack Obama in the past, and I’m not sure I agree with all of them, but one thing is beyond question: the man is a socialist. There is no argument there. Everything in his life up to this point has involved the advancement of socialism. The problem is, the US cannot afford to have a socialist president at this time. Our country is 9 trillion dollars in debt and the last thing we can afford to do is elect a president that is promising trillions in new spending. We have to go in the opposite direction. We have to cut back on spending so we can start paying down the enormous debt. It is also unfair to saddle future generations with debt to pay for social welfare programs for people today. If we continue down the path to full socialism at this time by implementing Obama’s socialist healthcare system, we will destroy any chance the nation has to balance the budget and pay down the debt. If we enact the oppressive tax increases that Obama is proposing, we will bring the economy to a screeching halt and people’s retirement funds will plummet in value. We just can’t afford any more socialism in America at this time.

First – I’m a registered Republican.
Second – In response to the infantile comments regarding Obama’s statement on inflating tires — below is an excerpt from an earlier ABC News article:
“It was just a few weeks ago when two Republican governors (one of them a potential VP pick for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz) were talking about Americans keeping their engines tuned and tires inflated.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, R-Calif., and Charlie Crist, R-Florida, according to the Los Angeles Times “appealed to those with the real power to make change — average citizens — to drive slower, keep engines tuned and tires properly inflated, to buy hybrids and lower overall consumption.”
My party is quickly beoming an embarrassment.

Kevin- no one was complaining about serving. Every day I wear the uniform I consider myself HONORED.
I can assure you that the liberals in the Army love the country just as much as those of us who consider ourselves conservative. We fight side by side. It’s too bad that the country refuses to sacrifice and mobilize itself to win the wars.

I’ve voted Republican in every presidential election since I was 18. I don’t like what I hear from McCain. It doesn’t matter if it’s coming from him, his advisors, or in campaign ads. I just don’t like it. I won’t be voting for McCain. Now, I just have to decide if I’m going to vote for Obama.

You know, what really disgusts me about the way John McCain is conducting himself can be traced back to 2000, when he was torn to shreds by George W. Incompetent. He was running a solid campaign, and then he was smeared beyond belief. I never thought that McCain would EVER stoop to use the same tactics that were used against him to get a political edge. I was, at one time, very fond of John McCain. He used to stand for something…he used to be about straight-talk and respect…now, he’s the same as every other conservative republican that I utterly detest. I know I’m not alone when I say that I am completely disappointed in John McCain, and I know I’m not alone when I say that I will do anything within my power, be it writing, phone calls, or door to door to make sure that John McCain NEVER gets elected President.

Ronald Reagan was a celebrity and so is Arnold Schwarzenegger, and what about that WWF guy who’s now a governor? Right always thinks they represent God. Right also thinks that God runs America (no joke!). So they’re kinda being contradictory on all counts here aren’t they? Even hypocritical. They don’t even follow the ten commandments.

My fellow Democrats, stay awake and be watchful. Do not naively walk into the coming elections blindfolded. Remember what happened in 2000 with the “butterfly ballots” and the Supreme Court selection of a president that everybody now despises? Yes, the next election may well be stolen again. That’s the only way the GOP win elections. They are getting desperate with negative ads against Obama.

Well it seems since McCant still has not come out with any stand on issues or what he is going to do with America, he will just bide his time and waste money on these ads until Barak does all the work for him, he can then copy his policy with a twist and have his policy moving forward.
Just locked my vote for OBAMA!!

To some of the anti Obama bloggers. your racism is showing._______________Oh good grief is that all you people think about is racism, no body cares about his color, but ya, we don’t like the man or his non plan, he is a joke , a fake , a puppet, he is non comp,

After courting fierce fully the endorsement of evangelists and Christians, McCains didn’t find anything better than comparing Obama to Moses.

When Obama will explain what he means by change? Left him say it not you and the media making it up as you go.

It is silly to debate “who” started this country. It was established by people from every walk of life, from puritans to prisoners and every type in between.

Obama no more – Obama has never called for monetary reparations. This is just another product of the right-wing noise machine that you are parroting for them.

Elections are referedums. If you like the way things are going, vote for the same party. If you don’t like the way things are going, vote for the other party. All this moses nonsense is just that, nonsense. Don’t let yourself be caught up in nonsense.

Poor McCain. He’s lost control of his formerly respectable campaign and is delving into the politics of smears and lies. Pathetic.

Soldier:
You are free to keep patting yourself on the back if it makes you feel better.

JAB,
You have said it all with that very thoughtful, poignant and articulate post. Good Job.

I love reading your thoughts on Drilling for Oil. If it helps you guys out, this morning on the news that had a specialist on. Yes, we should drill, will it help us out, yes, But so will airing up your tires. If we start now by 2019 will will be saving 3 cents per gallon with drilling.
what we need is to stop talking about all of it and start doing it. If we do not by 2019 we will have nothing. And I mean not just drilling, but wind and anything else we can come up with. Stop talking and start doing.
McCain is a nasty, arrogant, disgusting man and he proved that today with this stupid ad. He is not a leader he is spoiled brat.

I loved this ad. Whoever came up with this concept is brilliant. It shows Obama for the elitist he is using his own words. It shows how out of touch he is with regular middle class Americans. GREAT JOB guys. It’s about time!

“I love the ads”
Keep ‘em coming.
John is the man.

From the two ads, I guess:
Brittany + Paris = Obama = Moses. Hence,
Moses = Brittany + Paris.
Not only Christians, but people of all religious need to be outraged with McCaine and his equally stupid campaign!

I’m gonna vote for McCain because he’s better at smearing and lying than his opponent…what kind of intelligent choice is that? Can anybody please tell me why I’d change my vote for Obama and vote for McCain because McCain thinks Obama is a celebrity. So what? Reagan was a celebrity, so is Arnold. Republicans love these celebrities. Do as we say not as we do? I don’t vote for hypocrits.

McCain’s campaign is getting gimmicky and stupid. Stick to the issues please.

Maybe Obama is a “celebrity” because people like him? Is that BAD? Obama is not an actor like Reagan and Arnold are. Obama is not a WWF guy. He’s really got no celebrity status other than people like him. And sorry America’s right, but there’s nothing wrong with that!

This African American democrat agreed to NO MORE Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Howard Dean.

McCain’s campaign is getting gimmicky and stupid. Stick to the issues please.
Posted by: Jason | Aug 1, 2008 5:24:17 PM
He can’t stick to the issues, he doesn’t know anything about them.
McSame’s campaign is a joke and Stuck on Stupid.

TwentyFirst,
Thank you for more misogynistic comments from Obama supporters

Wow. Does McCain really have that little self respect? He is wallowing in his own self-pity. Maybe instead of acting like a two year old child throwing a temper tantrum, he should stick to the issues. Then again, McCain is the one who didn’t show up to vote for the GI Bill. McCain took the same trip Obama took, but he couldn’t get 200,000 Europeans to wave American flags. He’s acting ridiculously jealous of Obama. Tisk tisk McCain. If he had stayed the man he was 10 years ago, maybe he would have had a chance against Obama. Instead, he sold his soul to Bush and Rove inspired tactics.

Barack is right. McSmallMan has nothing good to say about himself, he’s allowed America to see his true colors and man are they ugly. So instead of McBash talking about his policies and ideas for the future of America, he bashes Barack– day after day.
I get it; this is really what the American people want. They want someone that doesn’t focus on their needs, their struggles, their economic pressures, their concerns, yes, we want more bashing.
McCain, this has truly been a disgraceful week for you ‘my friend’ or should I say McLowBlows.
It’s sad that the American people really want to hear what the candidates have to say about the issues we’re facing and what they want to do to bring about a better America. I’ve only heard one candidate attempt to talk about the issues this week and that is Barack Obama. McBash on the other hand, he only talks about Barack Obama.

This is motivating me to vote for Obama.

at some point pretty much everyone is going to think: i could have had hillary
the most vital job in the world and its a reality tv show
things are worse than ever

If McSame wins, I will do what everyone else in the world will be doing – praying for God’s mercy on the US and its misguided people.

Is the GOP that affraid of a candidate that people actually admire? I guess after all these years of BW Bush, GHW Bush, Ronnie Reagan, and now Grandpa McCain, it would be difficult to perceive a candidate that one can believe in and and have hope in.
GOP = a sorry bunch indeed

What pety lameness. McCain is just slinging the dirt like the GOP machine always does. He’s a servant to that machine and I dont believe he can think for himself. Fake smiles and lame jokes. He’s the equivalent to a football quartback with a superficial girlfriend and scared of the geeks because they use their brains. He’s a bag of air puffing his way through the waters and looking like a tard.

It is not obvioulsy better to use US oil instead of ME oil? In fact, it is worse.
Use ME oil now. When in the future that is gone, we will still have US oil in reserve.

It is abundantly clear Karl Rove style tactics are alive and thrown heavily at the Democrats. Forget campaigning. Let’s just throw mud and see whose left standing.

you have to start SOMEtime to get the benefit from drilling on our home grounds for oil… and expanded gas sources, too.
the longer you wait, the longer we’ll be beholdent to foreign suppliers.
if we start today, even if we don’t see any value for ten years…. we’re ten years ahead of the game then if we don’t start for another decade.
Yes, we should adjust our tires and drive more slowly…. that certainly will not hurt…. BUT THAT ALONE WILL NOT GET US FROM UNDER OUT OF THE CHOKE HOLD FOREIGN POWERS CURRENTLY HAVE OVER US!
How could Obama not know this!!!!!

blasphemy, blasphemy, blasphemy…and the McCain camp calls this FUNNY? Christians will be outraged, I AM! One doesn’t put God in such a MOCKERY!
As a Christian, I am DISGUSTED!
ENOUGH!

I just saw the ad. Obama should be paying McCain for all the wonderfull work he has been doing on his behalf.

I love it! It’s funny and it points out how arrogant Obama is and how ridiculous his entire campaign has been. How are people buying his BS? This democrat will be voting McCain.

John McCain is losing his mind….he is not even coming close to addressing issues we all need to hear from him. All he and his people are focused on is stupid rhetoric about Barack that just doesn’t register. Britney, Paris, Moses????? Come on people, give us a break and talk about something with some substance for a change. Trying to make Obama look bad is only showing America how out of touch Mr McCain really is…..

Doesn’t Obama copy previous speeches that were made by other democrats? He can’t answer anything without saying “um,um,um”. And what does come out of his mouth apart from his telepromter is the same old socialistic views on domestic policy. Tax the rich, nationalize healthcare, put unions first, government education.You can talk about Bush all you want, but it’s really about do you want to live in a Republic or a socialistic nation?

With all of the problems Americans are facing, the loss of homes to foreclosure, having to use credit cards to make it, a growing deficit, wars on two fronts with no end in sight and this is all the Senator McCain can muster? This is what he call good judgment? John McCain, a maverick. Please!

What is McCain’s Story? That he was an incompetent, hot headed navy pilot who got himself shot down. Graduated the bottom of his class and has riden other peoples coat tails all his life and he dares to try and lable Obama an empty suit. A person who graduated at the top of the top school in U.S.

“you wreck the coral reefs then most sea life in US waters will be non existing”
well, the coral reefs aren’t the only place we could drill. in fact, there are land-logged sites we could be using.
and some of this land is leased out to large oil companies who aren’t doing anything with them.
maybe we should limit the life of these leases…..

I have now seen that McCain is very desperate and I’m a retired military veteran…I am very saddened that he just lost my vote…I expected more from this hero…I very disappointed…this is not what we hold as true military values…we are taught to be beyond reproach…has he forgotten?

McCain seems very desperate, i think he needs a new stratagy, the only one here who is playing the Race Card is McCain because they are desperate. Bad Week for McCain! This AD looks weak and desperate.
OBAMA 08′

Strange, the only people I’ve ever heard refer to Obama as the messiah are the far righties… which is strange, b/c aren’t they supposed to be the moral majority in this country?..
This is whining, brought to a high art form by someone people want as their CIC? What am I missing here?

It might seem like a stretch to compare Obama to Moses, but you have to trust McCain on this. After all, Moses was one of McCain’s high school classmates.

On the Contrary… Obama will be the desperate one in a few short weeks …The opposition to him within the democratic party is very real and people are upset that some of this stuff about his character arrogance etc was not talked about by the media till now… he should not be the nominee because he cant hack the pressure… Oh NO! there will not just be a few rich elitists playing games with our electoral system…. you said in the primaries that the DNC wasnt under constiutional election laws and were pretty smug but by people like the snake D. Brazile forcing Obama down our throats… we just will not stand for that

To those who support Pelosi and Reid’s talking points; I assume you are fine with $4-10 dollar gas since that is the reality of your platform. Remember that when you start whining about the price of gas. Do yourself a favor and look up the cost per kilowatt hour of the different energies and notice the glaring fact that liberals are opposing every single form of cheap energy. We need a comprehensive energy reform package including transitional use of clean coal, oil and nuclear along with long term goals of efficient alternative energy and conservation. You are fooling yourself if you think we can have affordable energy any other way.

Marc C of Dallas
There’s a difference between a president and a nominee.

Uhm, you pretty much have to be arrogant to suggest that you deserve to hold the highest office in the land, don’t ya think? It kinda comes with the territory…and how is Bush any less arrogant? He always seems to think that God is on his side and he can never make a mistake. He never admits that Iraq was a mistake even when they didn’t find WMD’s

Is this serious? First celebrities? Now religion? What’s next…Aliens? Santa Claus?

Liberals have no sense of humor. This ad is hilarious and just points out the vapidness of Obama.

This ad is terrific! Says everything no one can say without being labeled a racist! Excellent.

John McCain wants to be president. Of what, the fifth grade? Is this the best he and his campaign can do? Granted when the Bush creeps ran negative ads they had some style. The McCain junk is totally worthless. Things have really gone south in the Republican party.

FilmMD
So you are sayin that hes just like Obama because Pelosi/Reid/Durbin are doing the same thing with Obama ..tis true!

To: Watching Closely | Aug 1, 2008 5:43:21 PM
Well said. It’s about time. Hillary was stifled by the DNC.

McCain is a tired old man with no answers

The congress has just left for it’s second summer break without passing a single energy related bill including anyything related to oil strategies. The Repubs want a vote, but the Dems are holding fast to their obstructionist view that the oil companies can do with what they now have.

You know what? I DO believe that Obama is THE ONE. I don’t care if that sounds idealistic or naive. He IS what this country has been waiting for: someone who will save us all from the hate and destruction of life and property perpetrated by George W. Bush and his ilk. Someone who the world WILL look up to, just as the Germans did last week. John McCain is a corporatist foil. Republicans don’t want an intelligent man to be president of the United States! They want someone stupid enough to push the button and wipe out thousands – no, hundreds of thousands, to protect their greedy interests.
All I can say is this: Is this the kind of product we can expect from McCain and his co-horts, who will, by the way, be running the country if he is elected? Prepare yourselves for this, my fellow Americans, because this race will not be decided by intelligent people. Intelligent people have ALREADY decided who they will vote for. This race is going to be decided by the Americans dumb enough to believe what they are told to believe and who don’t have the mental capacity to understand any of the issues.
If John McCain wins the presidency, this country is doomed.
VOTE FOR OBAMA!

McCain = McSame = McShame

McCain had a little hope at one time, but he has now totally passed that threshold – into the land of totally pathetic!
He is now showing his true colors.This is just how the “good ole boys” always react when they don’t get their way!

Goldielocks
talk about tantrums… Obama just throws those to pretend to be standing up for you elitists but there isnt any substance!

If I had donated money to the McCain campaign, I would now demand it back.

I’ve been a McCain supporter since he announced his presidential bid for 2008. In quite a long time I think I’ve finally found an issue I agree upon with the liberals on here. I don’t this ad is help or productive. I don’t find it funny being a Christian man myself. I think it’s a distraction. McCain should pound on Obama on the issues not these sort of attacks.

As a Christian I take offense to this ad. I thought McCain was suppose to be a Christian.
Shameful!

hahaha That was GREAT! All hail the Messiah!!! Obama’s ego is actually larger than the red sea. HAHAHAHAHA

Who is McBUSH and ROVE going to trash next??? The Pope??? McBUSH is just a stupid old man..

Will Barack supporters see the light? It appears not. His supporters can’t get enough of him, so must be tuning in on these ads. There is plenty of campaign footage that portrays Obama in a more negative light, while this footage is from the mainstream media news that we have already seen over and over thanks to the generosity of the media awarding him the free publicity.

Mcsame, what do you take me for, a fool? You are only interested in scoring cheap political points at the expense real issues bedevelling americans. But this time around, you and your sordid campaign have bitten more than you can chew. Very soon, the chicken will come home to roost.
As at this moment, I know some conservative friends of mine that are considering not voting for you because of your recent advert lampooning christianity. they see it as a personal attack on their religion. This time around, you have dug your grave!!

Anyone running for POTUS has got to be arrogant.

Obama played the race card against Bill and Hillary…….
Not surprised he would attempt to play it against McCain. Except McCain delivered a smack down to Mr Hopey.
“THIS WHOLE THING IS THE BIGGEST FAIRY TALE I HAVE EVER SEEN”….President Clinton

Since the United States and most the people can’t agree on who to vote. I think nobody should VOTE at all. Think of what impact that will have when WE Americans don’t go to the polls. We need to show them it’s about the people and thier lives not the welfare of the government. They should all be kick out and it should start from the top down. Then Americans can hire government officals that have sense and know how to run this country. It is our right as citizens to do this you know. ONE VOICE IS HARD TO HEAR, BUT 20 MILLION VOICES CAN BE HEARD ACROSS AMERICA. SO DON’T VOTE AND LETS SHOW THEM WHO REALLY RUNS THIS COUNTRY, WE DO AND HAVE FROM DAY ONE. DON’T LET THEM TAKE OUR RIGHTS LIKE THEY ARE DOING NOW.

That is funny, that McCain through the daughter of one of his biggest supporters – The Hiltons under the bus in an Obama ad.

Holy Moses!! That ad was hilarious, it made me laugh, it inspired me.
I have to thank the mcCain camp for this one, I now know who I will vote for because of this uplifting ad– Obama08!
Maybe mcCain will accept a VP spot from Obama? *grin*

The only hysteria is coming from the Republicans. They have no message except to Drill, drill, Drill. And No stratigy for getting out of Iraq, only staying in no matter what the Iraqis want. You can tell that the Republicans are getting hysterical. That is when they start running Negative and false ads about their opponent. So sad, McCain is a war hero, but also a grumpy old man.

The ad is really just sad. It’s so bad that I’m an Obama supporter & I feel sad for the entire McCain campaign. McCain has now taken America to a new low.
Praying for the day when this will finally end !
Obama 08

McGreem: i liked that one.

While I don’t think the ad is up to John McCain’s standards I still find it funny. Bottom line, Barack Obama is full of himself. We’ve heard that comment before and now McCain’s campaign has just put it into a video.

It’s funny to see Republicans run these kinds of Campaign ads against the Democratic Nominee. Let us all recall another ‘superstar’ of yesteryear, a legitimate Movie Star in his own right, that visited Europe to throngs of Flag waving Europeans, who loved his movies, his image, and his plans to save the world….by running for the Office of US President. Remember his name ?????
Ronald Wilson Reagan !!!!
Yes sports fans, it was one of there own, and also another Republican, a legitimate Movie Star that ran for president of the NRA, his name??
Charlton Heston !!!!
Republicans didn’t have any qualms about using celebrity to attain high office of any kind in the past, they have done it many times.
I wonder what Mr. Reagan and Mr. Heston would have to say about the current crop of campaign ads Republicans are using in this campaign.
I’ll bet they are turning over in their graves, because of all the Hypocrisy.
I Hope the Democrats Win the White House, They deserve it !!!

Democratic Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis was the governor of Massachusetts at the time of Horton’s release, and while he did not start the furlough program, he had supported it as a method of criminal rehabilitation. The State inmate furlough program was actually signed into law by moderate Republican Governor Francis W. Sargent in 1972.

Check Mate. American Patriot.

–And, exactly what are you doing Lee but the very thing you attack McCain for and using childish names, no less?!

I’m a conservative voter but I have to admit this ad is not only an embarrassment, it smacks of just how desperate the McCain camp must feel to sink to such Saturday Night Live humor. Shameful. It will only encourage people to not for for McCain but see him as representative of a very crusty old guard that doesn’t want to relinquish control.
–Not that Obama has anything better to offer but at least he “sounds” inspirational, if not either very shrewd, naive or stupid to have had people like the terrorist Ayers as a good friend and Wright as his pastor and yet somehow have no clue of their thoughts. Talk about lack of discernment!

And while Obama is portrayed as Moses, as played by Charleton Heston; McCain is settling comfortably in to the role of Nathan as played by Edward G. Robinson.

What’s the problem Obama supporters? Isn’t this McCain ad almost the same argument that you all used against Hillary declaring that she felt “entitled” because she was white? The problem is you can dish it out but you sure can’t take it.

American Patriot – “what about Obama’s plans in invading Pakistan?” – Wow, since when does taking out a couple of high value terrorist = an invasion. Guess you got to use wacky righty “logic” on that one lmao! Now seriously, tell me, if a Dem was President and OBL was found hunkering down in Pakistan, what would the Neo Cons do if they found out we just tried to talk Prez Musharif into giving him up. Do you guys even listen to your own arguments?

bluebird – “Isn’t this McCain ad almost the same argument that you all used against Hillary” – OMG, you still think this race is about Senator Clinton? Not really sure your argument makes any sense, either.

Henry – “jmengate…Raise your game, man!” – Ok, you’re right. Been away from civilization (no TV no newspapers) for a week. Think it’s time to logoff and get back to my barbque. Everyone have a good night.

Obama will be a Judis as president,befor a Moses.

This ad is a priceless. It takes a holier-than-thou, humorless, narcissistic politician with a severe messianic complex and uses his own words against him.
Edgier and funnier than anything Obama has done. Excellent job, McCain ad team!

Reggie, you wrote: “The only way McCain can win is emphasizing his own experience and showing some class.”
Just 5 days ago, the Gallup Daily Tracking poll had Sen. Obama leading by nine points over Sen. McCain, 49-40. And now that same poll has them tied at 44-44. The latest Rasmussen Tracking poll has Sen. Obam up by one, 47-46. And the latest USA Today/Gallup poll has Sen. McCain up by four, 49-45. The Real Clear Politics average of 8 polls has Sen. Obama up by 2.6 points.
Even with all of Sen. McCain’s gaffes, bumbling speeches and attack ads, Sen. Obama is still unable to shake off the old man! So why should Sen. McCain run his campaign any differently?

Obama is ready to lead. Thank you Jesus.
Amen

McCain better spend his loot now because come general election time he will not be able to afford the comics and silly ads. Perhaps when he encounters this economic shortcoming, he will then connect with American voters. Wall Street or Main Street?

Heidi, you wrote: “…when American people are suffering McCain and company are making a mockery of intellect of voters. He is not addressing the real issues at hand…”
These political ads are not the extent of Sen. McCain’s campaining. He is out on the road addressing the real issues in his speeches and in town hall meetings. If you really care where Sen. McCain stands on the real issues just check out his website.

Juvenile – this is something that happens in 3rd grade with 9 year olds.
He is making a mockery of the presidential campaign and religion.
If this type of ad sways anyone to vote for McCain, you deserve him.

yak yak yak….boo hoo he aired dirty laundry. Who is our President?

Good point Tokyo…. He wants America to laugh so that we forget to cry.

Even if McCain were to win I would not lose my mind…;trust me. It would mean the GOP would have to clean up their own mess.

McCain assembled a great team around him for his campaign, just imagine the team he will put in the Whitehouse to run this country – (further into the ground)

This gets funnier and funnier. The world is ending because of a video. Last time it was a magazine cover. When will it ever end? Scandalous!
Look folks, all week you argued like crazy people about the race card, and you know racism is like herpes: no one really wants to talk about it or give to it anyone else. It’s a bummer.
But a good joke where lots of people laugh and Friday comes easy? That is pure gold. So thanks! Laughter is the best medicine as Reader’s Digest said.
Have a good weekend!!

Wisdom says: Our country is 9 trillion dollars in debt and the last thing we can afford to do is elect a president that is promising trillions in new spending. We have to go in the opposite direction. We have to cut back on spending so we can start paying down the enormous debt.
The enormous debt you’re talking about was primarily created by the current Administration. They have borrowed and spent like there is no tomorrow. They created a war which is an enormous drain on the country’s finances. John McCain proposes to continue this expenditure into the far future. He says he’ll balance the budget in four years. Do you honestly believe that? He shifted his tax position from no new taxes to a maybe. The Tax Policy Center analysis of his proposals have him creating an additional $1.3 trillion more in debt than Senator Obama. If you are serious about reducing the debt, then you need to get off the false notion that Senator Obama is a socialist. Maybe, you need to really look at where the Bush policies that Senator McCain would continue have taken this country.

I do not understand why Obama is upset with this ad. Earlier in the race, it has been his supporters that stated Obama as the choosen One.

Obama suggests bombing Pakistan and everyone holds their collective breaths (OH MY!) CBS is reporting an American air strike may have killed Al Qaeda No.2. John McCain will take credit for this piece of wisdom too.

Soooooo. Lemme get this straight. The McCain camp is comparing Senator Obama to Moses and then question if Senator Obama is ready to lead? Seems to me that Moses was a phenomenal leader.

Always knew mccain was old but know it appears he’s old and senile. Do you think the nursing home will let him make any decisions of his own???

Funny ad. Makes mockery of Obama. Makes mockery of the American people. Makes mockery of religion. Yes, funny ad all right. This day, of all days, we find out another 51000 jobs lost. Troops dying in Agfhanistan and Iraq. Banks going under. People losing their houses. Foreclosures are skyrocketing. And what do we get? This ad. And this is all Team McCain can think to run? Jokes in a time like this when we need real answers and people are hurting. I’m kind of speechless really. Yo, McCain supporters: having a good laugh? Question: this is how you plan to run the country, huh?

Referendum Obama ’08!!!!

McCain is already on the curb looking up, you can’t get any lower….
McCain….a myth created by the media. McCain had become “obsessed” with Obama. The proof is in the pudding. And in relation to “The One” ad? “We were having some fun with our supporters who we sent it out to,” McCain explains.. “We are going to display a sense of humor in this campaign.” I don’t see an ad with Moses depicted for political gain as going over too well with his Christian supporters. When you have absolutely nothing intelligent or relevant to say, attack your opponent. It is becoming more and more clear every day – you see the difference between a man with intelligence, wit, compassion, energy, vast knowledge and drive….Senator Obama…then you see a man with little intelligence, no compassion, low energy, no drive, pitiful knowledge of what is important in this election and you have McCain…. You can tell that he is not liking what he’s doing. That’s why he seems so disjointed and strange. His soul belongs to the devil now, and though his mouth is stretched into the simile of a grin, it is no smile. He is a lost man.

eyeonyou the Republicans are standing in the House in the dark holding their breath for the Democrats to return and let them vote on drilling. I thought it was very funny when the Great Speaker Ms. Polosi had the lights turned out on them. Way to go Madam Speaker teach them they aren’t the majority any longer and their reign of pork spending is over.

You mean the far right wing GOP are standing in the way of any real issues being resovled because the far right wing must obstruct any and all justice or any real legislation from occurring. Can’t have the Democrats get any momentum in this campaign year now can we? Isn’t that what is irritating you?

McCain should leave the comedy to
professionals. A few months ago I
had no beef with him, but this
just trivializes the whole electoral
process. Why the sprint to the
sewer? If John McCain had any good
ideas he’d be running on those.
Instead what we are getting is this
juvenile Rush Limbaugh imitation and
not even a good one. If John McCain
were a man, a serious man, he’d be
willing to run on his ideas instead
of this jr high crap.

Yesterday alone 100,000 people contributed to the Obama campaign. Over a third of those people – 33,000+ people – were first time contributors.
Even Ploufe said that was “remarkable”. Is it possible the McCain videos are lining Obama’s pockets as people, disgusted with his insistence on minimizing and “tabloidizing” America’s real issues, flock to Obama’s site to donate? It seems to me that someone’s raked in money and support in direct response to these ads, and it’s not McCain. LOL Keep up the good work McCain. You are lining Senator Obama’s campaign coffers with piles of money.

sandy: It’s funny how all of the supposed campaign contributions you speak of are not translating to support in the polls. He lost ground every day this week. I think that is a falsehood.

McCain doesn’t have to be Einstein. He only needs to demonstrate that he’s not worse than Obama – and he’s doing just that. The fact of the matter is that the Democratic party has overplayed their hand on many fronts. Their support of the Daily Kos vermin and Al Gore’s mythical truth serum for deconstructing modern civilization is tearing their party apart. I don’t care how hard the lunatic liberal media wants to force feed Obamania down America’s throat, just because Americans pay money to see actors playing President doesn’t mean they’ll vote for one.

Funny how McCain supporters are now saying…”glad to see (McCain)’s got his game on”. Having a good laugh? Must have enjoyed the last 7 years, you think? Yeh, those 51,000 jobs lost just today, something to laugh about, you think? Yeh, the condition of the country is something to joke about. Yucks all around. Let’s see, who’s going to be your VP, Bozo the clown?

McCain finally woke up and realized that if he didn’t do something pretty radical the media would continue to focus solely on Obama. The ads worked because everyone is not only talking about them but they are also allowing another perspective of Obama to be put out there. The media has done voters an injustice by their bias towards Obama.

McCain is looking real presidential
right now. Hail to the Chief, John McCain, president of the 6th grade. I’ll start taking
him seriously when he presents some
actual ideas beyond bombing Iran and
keeping Bush’s disastrous economic
policies in place. Those 51,000
people who lost their jobs in July
sure do appreciate all of the
thought McCain is giving to the
economy these days, that is after he
finishes with these hilarious comedy
routines.

Just when you thought there might be some excuse for McCain’s campaign – just when you thought PERHAPS we were overreacting to the lame commercials and lies, along comes THIS!
This is outrageous!!! It’s a slap in the face to religion as well as a stab at
Obama. No wonder envy is considered one of the evils in the Bible. Look what it leads to…
Obama envy is obvious. McCain’s own mother has probably turned off his speeches!
Go Obama – No Messiah, No Second Coming,
but the brightest, best presidential candidate I’ve seen in my 56 years!!

Sandy
Look at the state polls – state by state – they do not reflect the same “trends” MSM spouts every day. Today’s electoral vote projection (state by state polls): Obama 365, McCain 173. National polls do not election anyone
That is baloney… the key word is “Todays” and no candidate has ever gone that much over 270 in an electoral count so thats an indicator of the election being a few months away… stop trying to influence people you are doing a good job!

Steve – I do not pay attention to polls because they rise up and down as quickly as a roller coaster. National polls will mean more in September and October. For now – it is the state by state totals that bear watching and how those totals affect the electoral college map. It is the electoral college that elects presidents, not the national polls. Oh – and thanks for calling me a genius!

Sandy:
If you don’t pay attention to polls, how do you come up with the state by state “polls?”
I don’t really care what any poll says. The media pushes these polls down our throats, all of them. Then when they turn in favor of McCain, then they don’t matter. Just typical, that’s all.

staniam – you really do need to take some courses about the electoral process. The electoral college totals are tracked on a daily basis (Monday through Sunday), by non-partisan trackers who do research for several organizations, and thereby, change on a daily basis. Senator Obama has been over the 350 mark for weeks now.

Sandy
I am a political science major… and 350 is an unrealistic final electoral college tally that is why there arer several polsters that take the mesaure and daily is the operative word… it is Obamas to lose and he just might lose it so you be careful… you will not maintain this tone!

Steve – okay let me explain because you and staniam seem to have a problem with your critical thinking processes. Independent tracking (since the term polls seems to confuse you two) – without political leanings in either direction – are tracked in each state. The electoral college map is adjusted according to the tracking data. National polls mean absolutelty nothing at this point regardless of which candidate you may be supporting – a “close race” only sells advertising time and newspapers.

Sandy
its never been done before and wont be this time… Obama is just another poltician that hand to change one of his key arguments against offshore drilling today… you are delusional and misinformed and will be humliated but if thats the way you want it…..

Giles
Im not insane Im right Obama will not win

August 1, 2008
Gallup Daily: Race Tied at 44%Registered voters evenly split in their support for Obama versus McCainUSA Election 2008 Gallup Daily Americas Northern America Click here for Gallup’s special roundup of July’s important election polls.
PRINCETON, NJ — According to Gallup Poll Daily tracking from July 29-31, John McCain and Barack Obama are now tied at 44% in the preferences of national registered voters.

John McCain is a desperate Republican idiot without an agenda. He is a clone of George the Failure Bush, and America is tired of conservatism and the Bush/Cheney/McCain silliness.

Sandy
I said modern times that was over 50 yrs ago

Richcares
thats because a bunch of self serving young people that think the world revolves around them buy all that stuff! Honestly, adults voting for Obama because their 16 yr old will be mad at them if they dont? Grow up… be adults people!

Some of those comments of Obamas were a joke. Some others were referring to the democratic party “we are the hope…” he was talking about the democratic party. Whomever created the commercial knows that, as they obviously must have had to listen to the entire speech to find quotes to put in their add. So what does it say about someone who would do that? Who are these people who hear Obama say something and understand perfectly well what he means, yet purposefully manipulate it to have another meaning. That is slander. Pure and simple. I wonder if he can charge mCcain with slander because that is whta it is.

And McCain calls Senator Obama a celebrity? McCain wsa the first one to coin that term – in his own behalf!
BUSTED! McCain’s own website called him a political celebrity—until they scrubbed it.
The 2006 midterm campaign had just ended when McCain took the first formal step toward a presidential run in November. He formed an exploratory committee and gave a speech casting himself as a “common-sense conservative” in the vein of Ronald Reagan who could lead the party back to dominance after a dreadful election season by returning to the GOP’s core principles.
A POLITICAL CELEBRITY, McCain is considered a top contender for the nomination.

Dayum, I love the internet!!!.

Staniam – HEY! I did not say that – those are word’s right out of the horses’s own mouth. Tough to defend a candidate as not being old when he pictured HIMSELFin a nursing home at this stage of the game.

With GOD’s Grace. Obama will be the one to lead. god will give Obama the knowledge, the strength and the power to lead our country. Since McCain is laughing having a little fun playing the role of the pharoah. We will see who will have the last laugh. God the father I love you. Peace…

No way I could ever vote for McCain. A vote for McCain is a vote for the same. Shame on us if we let that happen.

McCain may not believe in God, and that is his business. This ad will insult million of Americans who believe in their faith. Yet, McCain wants to be consider as patriotic. There is a saying, “God and country first”. I don’t have to wonder any more whether McCain belives in God.

Never, never use Religion as a polical tool. This ad tells more about McCain then it does about Obama. I don’t know what McCain is trying to do, but this is not the way to do it. I am not a Christian per se, but this ad offense me to no end. I just don’t like spirituality being use this way. It tell me that McCain has no soul or hear and it scares me to no end. If a man goes this low about something that all American of different faith love and revear, then what stops him from using anything to get his end. God said “Be not mocked, for your sins shall be seen. Remember there are numberous accounts in the Bible of men in power mocking God or His people coming to terriable ends by doing this. McCain is walking on very thin ice her and the Anger of God may very well strike him down and the people who think that this ad is funny, please be careful. McCain is not respectful of not only the people of this nation, their spiritual beliefs, but has no respect for himself. Only a man who has no spiritual connection can come up with this type of thing. No matter what you think about Obama, Mocking Biblical figures is not the high or right road. You don’t insult the very people you are trying to get to vote for you.
This is the second time in as many weeks that the McCain camp has insulted the American people, first it was the winning remark, now it is making fun of our Bibical beliefs. This is not good. I think that we should be praying for McCain to ask forgiveness not only to the people, but he had better ask forgiveness from God. “What does it posper for a man to lose his soul for polical gain? This is a true moral issue and I fear that McCain has failed the test and will continue to do so, because he has none.

garcia – I am and always have been a supporter of Senator Obama! Where in the world did you get the idea I was for McCain?

Jess, you wrote: “Who are these people who hear Obama say something and understand perfectly well what he means, yet purposefully manipulate it to have another meaning.”
Sen. Obama, the Democrats and the Liberal bloggers all know that Sen. McCain didn’t say that he wanted the Iraq war to last another 100 years…yet THAT is what they say he said. Sen. Obama continues to say that. Why aren’t you outraged at that! What a double standard!

James Danley – Oh, but McCain DID say that! Do some research – McCain’s words have been posted all over the Internet -he did say “100 years.” And not only tha, he discounted the casulties that would result – “not his problem” according to McCain. The damage McCain does is to himself – he is his own worst enemy. Every time he opens his mouth another gaff falls out.

Pres, no one is buying the fake outrage religious comments from you Obama supporters. The ad was funny and so dead on about Obama thinking he is a god.

Ads are hilarious!!! Obama’s an opportunist and it is HE who has played the race card. It was OBAMA not MCCAIN who made the comment, “…he doesn’t look like the guys on the dollar bills…” OBAMA is doing the RACIAL GUILT TRIP on people – if you don’t vote for me, YOU’RE A RACIST. And why is it that blacks can talk about color, but when white people, such as Gerladine Ferraro, talk color, they get called a racist???

Many of the Obama crowd here say, how dare McCain use religion as a tool against Obama! Excuse me, but Obama already used religion as a tool for his self-righteous quest for the presidency! Obama is the hypocrite. Oh, and limited offshore drilling is okay now too, notwithstanding a few technical caveats…what a hypocrite. Obama will say anything and do anything to get elected.

Traditionally, conservatives have two themes in their campaigns. Either they try and make you afraid of the terrible things that will happen if you elect someone else, or they try and make their opponent seem ridiculous.
So in this matter, at least, John McCain is acting like a traditional conservative.
The sad thing is that this kind of stuff worked for so long. The good thing? It doesn’t work any more. The days when the MSM accepted anything and passed it on to the public without checking are over. Within an hour of this thing going public, video clip showing the context of the Obama misquotes were making the rounds. Welcome to the 24 hour news cycle, folks.
I’m not sure which is more pathetic, using the thoroughly discredited Dana Millbank quote, or digging Charlton Heston up from the cinema graveyard to try and do the same thing that wigmaster Heston used to do to Democratic candidates in the old days.

Personally I think some of the people in this country are intoxicated with Obama’s speeches….and I will be happy when they sober up. I think the ad speaks loud and clear.

If the impossible promises of Obama seem too far above your head, try standing up.

Where did the John McCain of 2000 go? John McCain has completely morphed into George W. Bush. Same economic policies that help the rich people and pad the pockets of selfish corporations. Same arrogant foreign policy that puts on blinders and makes the world hate the US. Same nasty campaign tactics used to distract voters from asking the hard questions about issues. We should be afraid…but not of Barack Obama…we should be afraid of another 4 years of the Republicans playing the American people as fools.

John McCain is a graduate of the War College. Basic tactics instruct that one does not let the enemy choose the ground where the battle if fought. Lacking any experience or other qualification, Obama can only hope to win this campaign if the mythology that defeated Hillary survives to the general election. Ads such as these that brilliantly puncture the Obama myth and then, better, go on to mock it, are fatal to the Obama campaign and no one knows that better than Obama.

It would be a very sad time in America’s history if McCain were to be elected President. Our standing among the world community will continue it’s downward spiral into an abyss. He has nothing to offer the world, but more wars and violence. He claims he understands how hard Americans struggle economically, yet he wears $520 shoes. He has the best health insurance coverage, but wants Americans to have an inferior one. He wants to turn Social Securty over to the greedy hands of corporate America which always involves a profit making motive in their scheme, and at our expense. He claims his experience is superior to Obama, but neglects to say that that experience is part and parcel of the reasons why we are in this mess here and abroad. Now he wants to invoke religion and all that is sacred to many in a desperate ploy to win this election. America, nothing can be crystal clear now; that that McCain has no values and no moral compass. He does not represent what makes America great, but what ails America. You can vote to continue this misery, to continue to be scorned by the world community, to continue to see more wars and more violence, to continue to see more economic misery, to continue to see a welfare state for the wealthy and Corporate America, to continue to see our health care system in crisis, and to continue to see the next generation saddled with all the woes left from this generation. Or we can vote for someone who will change the course and future for America today and for America tomorrow. You have that choice. It’s that simple, just look around, open your eyes and mind. It’s all there for you to see and understand.

All Christians in this nation has suddenly derailed without respect for the Almighty God that created heaven and earth.
It is sad to see people like Dobson who said he’s a mad of God, still retreating in silence who a political office seeker mock the words of the descendants of God. A guide that was acted in other to remind God’s children of the important wishes of God to mankind.
Most time we keep spend time criticizing Muslims for asking for respect for the God they worship, by reacting forcefully to mockery of Prophet Mohammed.
It is sad that no Pastor, Evangelist, Bishop, or Rev. Fathers has spoken out against this act. This is shameful, disgrace and completely unacceptable for McCain to mock the work of God for political gains.
GOD FORGIVE AMERICA.

correction my second paragraph about Dobson is “a man of God” and not “mad of God”.

McCain’s ad shows the desperation of a man drunk with the thought of achieving power at any expense. His whole life story is riddled with his selfish desire to acquire wealth and power. He left his disabled wife to acquire wealth, and has been chasing the power of the Presidency for many, many years now. This is all about what is “good” for him, and not at all about what is good for America. He has demonstrated quite clearly time and time again that he will say and do anything to achieve his goal. He attempts to degrade Obama but instead degrades people of faith and their belief in what is sacred to them. It is simply appalling to see this from a candidate, but much more troubling is to see the extent of what he will do to accomplish his desires. This is a man to be very worried about. This is not the man that commands respect, but one that is suspect and dangerous. This is a man who puts himself above decency and values, and who puts himself above the sacred beliefs of many, for a few votes more if they can be had. What a sad day it is in America when this very hollow man can even be considered as a candidate to represent and to lead this nation as our President. Very sad indeed.

After reading alot of the post on here from the McCain people, four years from now if McCain gets elected, these same people that stood with his will be trashing him on this very board, They voted for Bush twice and now they trashed his name also.

Latest polls show that 15.8% of Americans think this country is heading in the right direction, while 79.5% says the country is heading in the wrong direction (just take the economy for one). So how can McSame possibly turn this country around. Obama was right when he asked McSame about the ad. “Is this the best you can do?” stooping to such low tactics… the mentality is starting to show. To spend his supporters money on negativity what is he going to do with taxpayers money… another war?

And still not one word from these so-called reglious leaders who hold McCain on a pedestal. I guess that’s what they really are…so-called. Where’s their outrage? I guess their own desire’s outweigh their beliefs.

It makes me very sad and angry to see two grown men who want to run our country acted like two year olds. I think they need to both go home and look in the mirror to see who they are, and to remind themseleves of why they started this campaign. I don’t care what color you are, nor do I care what you did twenty years or longer ago. I want someone who will put their feels into their job and do what is best for our country, and that is get us on the right track to a better life for our familes and future families. This is not the time to sling mud or name calling it is the time to show us why you are the best man for the job. If you are calling each other names now. What will you do in the White House when you really have to deal with whole lot more pressure? I don’t think using Moses as part of an insult funny. I think it was very stupid and I didn’t laugh. I teach preschool and hear name calling and you aren’t friend all day long. I tell my students if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all just walk away. Something these two men can’t seem to do, beacuse they think it get votes. Well it wont get this ones vote. If I where the mother of these two grown men I would have a whole lot to say to them, but I an not so that is why I am writing this. All I can say is grow up and be gentlemen and get back to the job at hand. It really is getting OLD.

President Obama… Get used to it!

One might think that McCain has a self-confidence problem and is committing the sin of envy. It would appear that he is not ready to lead the nation.
Its disappointing that a man I respected so much for standing up to the GOP during the past 7 years has fallen victim to their venomous meanspirted nature.
The GOP is like an insidious beast that feeds of the fear of people scaring them into giving up their rights and civil liberties while enriching the GOP and their cronies.
Reagan would not recognize the GOP in its current form. the party of personal freedom, life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness is now the party fear, hate, big government and the pursuit of distrust.

Sandy, in a town hall meeting an individual was attempting to ask a question but before he could acually get the full question out Sen. McCain gave his answer. The individual said: “President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years…”
Sen. McCain’s exact response was:
“Make it a hundred. We’ve been in South Korea … we’ve been in Japan for 60 years. We’ve been in South Korea 50 years or so. That would be fine with me. As long as Americans …As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed. That’s fine with me, I hope that would be fine with you, if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where Al Qaeda is training and equipping and recruiting and motivating people every single day.”
Sen. McCain was NOT talking about a 100-year war. We are not still waring with Japan or South Korea. You know, Sen. Obama knows, the Democrats know and the entire world knows Sen. McCain was talking about a non-combatant PRESENCE in the area like we have in Japan (and Europe) and South Korea.

I realize that McCain is not a Christian, but many of us voters are and I find this one of the most disgusting ads EVER in a campaign. To use a religious figure as an attack ad is beyond anything that I have ever seen.
The priest at my church last night was mortified that Moses could be used in this way. McCain must HATE christian folk like me. And the fact that his campaign thinks this is “funny” says alot about the candidate.
Really disturbing!

“It truly saddens me to see the Republican party take such a low and blasphemous approach.”
It delights me to see a man with a sense of humor puncture the ego of a man without one.
The ruse of trying to rile the evangelicals with charges of blasphemy is cute. More divisive tactics from The One?

I LOVED THE AD!!! Great job by the McCain camp.

This is a great web ad. As though Mccain took what everyone has been thinking and summarized it in a 60 second ad. I can assure you it wasn’t just republicans that thought he was developing a god-like complex….Independents and democrats were also thinking the same. Over confidence is one thing…arrogant is another and I think Obama went far beyond arrogance and that is most uncomfortable aspect of this for me.

Obama so lacks experience and credential that all he has is mystique and myth. Take that away and Obama is in deep trouble. Make it an object of derision and the campaign is over. Witness how Obama’s momentum came to a screeching halt in the latter primaries after Jeremiah Wright emerged and Saturday Night Live pilloried the media love and bias given Obama. After that, Obama barely limped on to the nomination. The McCain ads are potentially so devastating to the Obama campaign — and hence the faux outrage — because they risk becoming supplanting the image of Obama the rock star for an image of Obama the empty glam celebrity joke who claims to be able to make the waters recede. If THAT images ever gets traction in the voters’ minds this campaign will effectively be over by mid-September. Obama knows that better than anyone hence the desperate tone of the response.

Obama has all of the personality traits of a dictator. Please people, be careful. May are so uninformed and so ignorant of history. That’s what frightens me. This is how it happens folks.

The Democrats have handed the Republicans a winning issue–not even at $10.00 a gallon for gasoline will the Senate Democrats consider it enough of an emergency to allow offshore drilling. And the Democrats in the House went on their 5-week vaction without even voting on whether or not to rescend the ban on offshore drilling.
Wake up people. When will you realize that the Democrats really don’t care how much you pay for gasoline.
The Democrats and many of you say that it will take 10 years before we produce enough oil to effect the price of oil and gasoline. YET look what happened just last week when President Bush signed an executive order rescending a previous executive order banning offshore drilling. The price of oil dropped $10.00 per barrel. And the average price of regular unleaded gasoline dropped back under $4.00 per gallon. Just imagine what would have happened had the Congress actually lifted the ban on offshore drilling before going on their vacation.

Not much of a Obama fan but still having questions about McCain. This low road approach this week has me writing a check for McCain for one simple reason: Obama pledged to be a post-racial candidate and he lied.

Reading some of these comments one might come away believing that Sen. McCain was the first person to make reference to Sen. Obama’s followers turning him into a messiah like figure. These references have been around since at least January. And what did Sen. Obama do to quell this comparison? Nothing! What did you followers do to quell this comparison? You only encouraged the comparison with your adoration for Sen. Obama. And he has been enjoying your adoration. So now that Sen. McCain points out your adoration for Sen. Obama in a political ad, you claim that Sen. McCain is being blasphemous. If anyone is being blasphemous it is many of you supporters of Sen. Obama who literally worship him as if he were a deity.

Sorry–that should have read administration…

What hell has Moses got to do with American politics? McCain is definitely racist by the tone of his ‘proud’ advert. I’m glad ludacris dissed him!

So, McCain thinks it funny to use a time honor lesson in the bible for attack ad. There only one reason why he would use such ad, he thinks having faith is funny. However, he has open door to all voters questions to know about his of faith or lack of faith.

Mark my words, in a couple of weeks Senator Clinton will be Senator Obama’s VP Running Mate.

Thank you, John McSame. As an organizer for Sen. Barack Obama, you’ve made my job so much easier with your “Moses” ad. You simply can’t imagine the number of devout Christians I’ve spoken with in the last couple of days, who consider that ad to be Blasphemy. Quite a few of these people were (and notice my use of the word “were”) planning to vote for John McSame. However, after seeing the ad, to a person they have all expressed disgust and contempt with McSame, and have switched to supporting Sen. Obama. I hope there are more such ads that you and Karl Rove can create so that I’ll continue to have an easy time convincing people to support Sen. Obama. Obama 08!!!

I bet network and cable news will not be playing this ad continuously. Because they will have to debate is McCain atheist, and why would McCain insult million of people faith for a attack ad.

whatever. its an absolute certainty Obama will be the next President. Poor old John is just too old and staid. America wants a young, vibrant leader of our country like a dying man in the desert wants water.

McCain atheist? Yes he is because christian play with God.

“America wants a young, vibrant leader of our country like a dying man in the desert wants water.”
Yes the chosen one will lead us out of the desert and into the third world.

Moses was a good man that God chose who led the people. McCain could have crossed the blasphemy line. But let’s not forget that red sea of ink in Washington we all want to cross. Notice too that in the vacuum of leadership, Obama is actually working to solve problems while Ace McCain is “having fun.”

All Christains and Jews should reject this mockery of “Moses”. This is a complete insult to our faith and believe. It shows that McCain could careless about us. He claim to care for isreal but mocks one of our leaders(moses).
A call to all Christains and Jews to rebuke the ad, and never vote for mccain.
Obama 08

I really wish people would open their eyes on Obama. He hasn’t shown anything, but a smooth talkin flashy dresser. Folks he was totally against off shore drilling, now he is for it. He lies, more than my sister,,, who is psyco, and a habitual liar. Don’t just go with the flow. Look at Obama’s voting records for yourself. not this guy writing this story. CNN, CBS, FOX, all the news media, want to persuade you to vote for their guy,,,, do your homework yourself as I did. I think you will find, Obama, is not going to help this country. he will raise taxes, he will lose jobs, and with the deficit the way it is, imagine where we will be in 4 years with Obama, not sure of anything. Have you heard Obama speak without a teleprompter? He can’t get his facts straight. he will not always have a teleprompter around when meeting with Foreign leaders. He will be a puppet to foreign governments. We will owe the world. We need a strong President. I am not very happy with McCain either, but he is the best of the two. Oh, and by the way, I am a Democrat. Do you homework, vote whats good for the USA, not whats the cool thing to do.

Barack Obama, if elected will have a free hand with congress to do whatever he wants. Likewise the congress will have a free hand to push through whatever liberal legislation they desire to pass. Our government has already grown to such an enormity that the bureaucracy itself has become a tremendous burden to the taxpayers. Senator Obama wants to grow the government and to increase taxation to support the growth. The growth is to provide for the people. By providing for the people and increasing taxation, productivity and personal accountability suffer. I am an independent. I will vote for John McCain not because of his great leadership abilities, but to prevent further deterioration of our constitution. I encourage all Republicans, all independents, and all conservative Democrats to join together, to vote for America, vote for McCain, to help save our nation from a time when under the leadership of extremist democrats we would move closer to becoming a socialist nation.

I have no repsect for republicans and how they chose to run a political campaign.
these ads have absolutly no subtance to them…
The sad thing is they seem to work in influencing the simple minded, and celebrated by a republican machine that doesn’t care abuot the lower and middle classes. All they care about is maintaining control, and to continue to protect the wealthy.
I honestly will never vote for republican.
Although I do bleieve we need another political p[arty to accurately represent the majority of Americans… I will stick with the democrats until the fine day… No matter what.
How could anyone vote republican after 8 years of George Bush… of course how could anyone have voted for Ronald Regan… if yuoask me its the republicans who are fixated on celebrities.

So what is George Bush… could we not have gone anymore to the extreme right.
Americans can not forget the lies, deciet that the republican party has used to get what they want over th elast 8 years.
there was no weapons of mass destruction, there was no reason to put this country trillions in debt…
I have yet to hear much come from McCain that will change the direction of this ocuntry and return America to a country that has some respect in this world.
a vote for McCain will set this country back further then it is now… or do any of you actually believe Bush did a good job ?

My Mama once said you are who you associate with. 20 years with Rev wright and Obama marched with Farakhan the radical muslim, his wife is not proud of America, he is inspired to write books due to the racist Wright.

I wonder how people of faith are feeling, when they know McCain has mock and smear religion. Now, everyone has to asks is McCain atheist, because people of faith do not find it funny mocking religion. Because if you smear or mock religion, you must be atheist When ever anyone discusses religion matters, it must done with respect, because it always brings out people passion regarding their faith or their lack of faith.

Since, McCain has run two different religion attack ads, will the media finally asks is McCain atheist?

If McCain was a person of faith he would not have launched this type of ad. Is nothing scared to the republican party? do they have any respect for the bible? The ans is very easy just look at the last 8 years of lies and corruption and the ans is absolutely NO !!!!

why don’t you talk about what David Gergen thinks the ad is designed to convey.

the Dude (and many of you bloggers): Sorry but you couldn’t be more wrong. On several levels.
1. Sen. McCain’s stand on the issues can be seen on his website. They can be heard in the speeches and town hall meetings that he has every week.
2. Sen. McCain’s campaign is not about you. One of the purposes of a campaign ad is to get your attention…YOU WILL REMEMBER THIS AD long after the election…so it worked. Another purpose of a campaign ad is to convey a message. This “The One” ad certainly does that: “Barack Obama may be ‘The One’…but is he ready?”
3. This is not a low point in politics. Far from it. Or don’t you remember the NAACP’s campaign ad showing Gov. George W. Bush driving a pickup truck dragging a black man in chains on a dirt road during the 2000 presidential campaign?
4. Our country is NOT dying! In fact, considering all the hits that our economy has taken this is nothing more than a good size bump in the road. Didn’t you notice that GDP has GROWN the past two quarters? Yes folks…even with the slump in the housing market (which is cyclical — when prices get too high, people stop buying; when prices get low enough, people will start buying again); the skyrocketing prices for energy; and the huge hit with the subprime mortgage crisis and the massive number of home foreclosures — GDP is still hanging on and GROWING. Albeit it just barely grew at 0.9% in the first quarter; but then it doubled that with a 1.9% gain in the second quarter. And unemployment at 5.7% is not the end of the world for our economy. In the seven years of 1980-1986 we averaged 8.0% unemployment.
5. This has been a very long campaign. Besides we are still in the primary season. The real general election campaign doesn’t begin until the candidates are officially nominated in their respective conventions. What this campaign needs is MORE humor. I say let the laughs begin!

I might have understood the ad more if they hadn’t included a clip of Obama actually making a joke about the ad’s whole premise.
Reminds me of their ad saying Obama wouldn’t visit the troops that used imagery of Obama visiting the troops.
I’m having a hard time imagining who may be impressed by these ads. Are they just to try to convince fellow conservatives that mcsame has a lame sense of humor?

Hey, here’s a great idea! Let’s come out with a McCain as a screw up Mr. Magoo! That would be so funny! He has no clear vision for the country. He gets everything wrong. Lots of possibilities for humor in McOldie. Wait, I’m getting ideas about the music and the staging and the speaking parts. Oh gosh, so, so funny! Let’s all laugh together—–
at McCain.

Orlando, nice try! What is offensive is how the followers of Sen. Obama have elevated him to such a high pedestal, ascribing upon him characteristics of a deity. The media picked up on this at least as far back as January. And some have even carried this even further. Here is a quote from Timothy Noah from Slate.com in an article that he posted back on Feb. 13, 2008: “I merely suggested that a few excitable souls in the media bear the apparant conviction that Obama is the Redeemer.”
Instead of quelling this tide of emotion, Sen. Obama appears to have accepted this and is using it to further his candidacy. A case in point is the quote used in Sen. McCain’s ad: “A light will shine down from somewhere. It will light upon you. You will experience an epiphany and you will say to yourself, ‘I have to vote for Barack.’”
Now THAT is offensive.

Any Christian who calls him or herself a Democrat (or vise versa) should check out this link. It’s a great analysis of this ad and near the bottom is a break-down of all the crazy illusions to the rapture, the Left Behind series, Obama being the anti-Christ, Revelation, and a plethora of other religious icons and imagery. This ad isn’t a joke and it was not made light-heartedly, as the McCain camp has said. Every word and scene was deliberate and potentially damaging to the Obama campaign because it feeds on people’s misguided fears. Worth a look: http://faithfuldemocrats.com/content/view/778/92/
