Obama: "Is That The Best You Can Come Up With?"
From CBS News' Allison O'Keefe:
(Cedar Rapids, Iowa) – Barack Obama continues to try to make John McCain's recent TV ad backfire on the Republican. At a town hall meeting in Iowa today, Obama reiterated his assertion that since Republicans have no new ideas, they continue to make the election about him. "All of those negative ads that he's running won't do a thing to lower your gas prices," Obama told a crowd of about a thousand.
Sen. McCain's new ad "Celeb," which showcases Obama's celebrity status, is getting a lot of attention, especially from Obama himself. "All we have been hearing about is Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. I do have to ask my opponent, is that the best you can come up with? Is that really what this election is about?" The comment received a welcome reception. At one point, when Obama was referring to his opponent, someone in the audience shouted, "Hater!"
