New Obama Ad Hits Back At McCain
Barack Obama's campaign has released a new ad, "Old Politics." It is a response to to John McCain's recent spot "Pump," which blamed Obama for high gas prices. As USA Today notes, the spot will air in 10 swing states: Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and New Hampshire.
The new ad shows a bit of the "Pump" spot as an exasperated-sounding announcer asks viewers if they've seen McCain's ad, which was widely criticized for laying the blame for high gas prices solely at Obama's feet.
“John McCain is blaming Barack Obama for gas prices?," the announcer says. "The same old politics. Barack Obama thinks high gas prices deserve serious answers and a serious plan. Crack down on oil speculators. Raise mileage standards. And fast track alternative fuels.”

Watch:
The entire free market is speculative. People are already buying cars with higher mileage without waiting for a govt. mandate. And there''s no such thing as fast tracking alternatives. We need more oil and we need it NOW. THat''s the real and immediate answer.

Get ahold of yourself! Republicans want this mess. We could be using alternative fuels, but then the oil stocks Bush ownes would be worthless. wake up!

Except for a few cult like followers, people generally hate Obama. Obama seems to bring out the worst in people with his huge ego and arrogance.

An idiot on these message boards? Can we accept that?
Obama is not muslim - wake up.
As for McSame blaming the gas prices on Obama - the man is a dottering old fool practicing the same old smear tactics the republicans have become so good at....
His smear campaigns and his evil attacks, Keep growing and growing.
Obama Dishes it out so heavy.
But whines and cries and screams they are picking on me,when someone tries it on him. Baby Bama does not like The same as he does.
First, urging greater U.S.-European cooperation, Obama said, "The burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together." Having earlier proclaimed himself "a fellow citizen of the world" Obama explained that the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Europe proved "that there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one." Perhaps Obama needs a remedial course in Cold War history, but the Berlin Wall most certainly did not come down because "the world stood as one."
The wall fell because of a decades-long, existential struggle against one of the greatest totalitarian ideologies mankind has ever faced. It was a struggle in which strong and determined U.S. leadership was constantly questioned, both in Europe and by the senator''s own Democratic Party. The successes Obama refers to in his speech -- the defeat of Nazism, the Berlin airlift and the collapse of communism -- were all gained by strong alliances defeating determined opponents of freedom, not by "one-worldism."
But beyond the incoherence, there is a deeper problem, namely that "walls" exist not simply because of a lack of understanding about who is on the other side but because there are true differences in values and interests that lead to human conflict.

- I know this may be beside the point, but speculation is hardly hurting the situation. I disagree with Obama''s position on this....
