McCain Is "Proud" Of Ad That Hits Obama On Celeb Status
(CBS)
(RACINE, WISC.) – While Barack Obama was asking John McCain if an ad comparing Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton was “the best you can come up with,” a member of the audience at McCain’s town hall meeting here asked if the Arizona senator had “flip-flopped” on running a positive campaign by airing that ad.
“We are proud of that commercial,” McCain said. “There are differences and we are drawing those differences. And I’ve said earlier I admire his campaign, but what we are talking about here is substance and not style, and what we are talking about is who has an agenda for the future of America.”
McCain said they could have a better discussion of the issues if Obama would join him at town hall events. “I have asked Sen. Obama to travel across this country with me and engage in town hall meetings. He has refused to do so, and yesterday, in case you missed it, he wanted to have a duel,” McCain said. “I’m not sure exactly what weapons he had in mind, but why don’t we just sit down together and have a discussion.”

See all 64 CommentsObama has done this to himself. Obama has introduced these ideas.
It is fair game to now discuss Obama on the same level as Brittney Spears, a pop culture teen idol who does not write her own songs.
Obama is to politics as Brittney Spears is to music.
This is going to stick.

Where have you been for the last 7+ years under the "Great Decider" ??
Isn''t it amazing that McCain, President Bush,Iraqi Politicians (President, PM),Afghan president,Israeli PM,President, All the European Leaders he visited (Germany, France & England) has the thrown their wholehearted behind Sen Obama foreign policy. I don''''t hear anything more about the Surge. So much for Obama not being fit or ready to be POTUS. That leaves McShame only one route to the presidency. McShame is counting on the voters not being informed, Since McLame cannot win on the issues, he has chosen an unethical road paved with untruths, lies & distortions. McCain new strategy is "If you can''''t get win thru brilliance, baffle them with B-ll S-it" Not this time, not this year and definitly this presidential election.
America deserves an intelligent, honest, vibrant, caring leader.

Well you may like it, but then you are not running for election.

I have found it amusing that even though some bloggers have become nothing more than judgemental rambling empty headed people, one after the other, day after day, it reflects the way society seems to want to support "change" but refuses to do so for themselves.
Are we nothing more than children pretending to be grown ups?
Duty, Honor, Country- McCain
ME, ME, ME- Obama.
John, it didn''t work for Hillary, it won''t work for you"
Suggest you stick to the tried & true "flip-flop" attack ,
Start with Bush tax cuts , a good way to promote the Republican agenda for America....

LOL YOU are joking right? LOL Why do you think McBush came out with this horrible attack Ad''s? LOL It was because he could NOT compete on the World Stage with Obama and he felt he HAD to drag him down to his level. It''s sick, it''s sad and EXACTLY what the Worst in our History did to get to the White House. What kind of fools would we be to allow that to happen a SECOND time?
Hang in there Sen McBush at least you''re not under indictment (yet) like buddy Ted Stevens!
