Especially McCain's.

And that $42,000 line is a little misleading...

I hate campaign ads.

I found that quite humorous actually, I think you just dislike it, perhaps, because you heavily support the democratic party? I think thats the reaction the reps were looking for.

Me personally am indifferent to either side, so I just laugh at it.

I dislike it because they're villainizing Obama for... being liked. And the $42,000 line is completely misleading.

Quote:
Well, in fact, it only would be single people making $42,000. It would be families making over $60,000. But Obama — as you say, he voted for a non-binding budget resolution that overall talked about doing away with the Bush tax cuts.

In fact, he says, that’s not his tax plan, that he supports a middle-class tax cut. And I want to put something up on the screen. The non-partisan Tax Policy Center says someone making $37,000 a year under Obama’s plan would get a tax cut of $892. Under McCain’s plan, they get a tax cut of $113.

Bah, all politics are misleading isnt that the point?

Besides, I'd hate to see the viral videos against McCain, I'm sure those are 10x worse then this as far as bashing goes. From my experience the democratic side tends to be a little more demeaning and cutting in their campaign tactics.

But yeah, your right, Obama cannot control how people respond to him, so its really not his fault. The video is quite misleading, but still humorous.

Logical fallacy incoming:

You know who had experience leading a country? That's right, Hitler.

You know who had no experience leading a country (or experience in American politics of any kind)? That's right, George Washington.

:P

Well, ignoring the moral issues and his insanity towards the end, he did a pretty damn good job. He took a nation crippled by a gigantic depression and military sanctions enforced by the world's first world nations and in a decade turned it into a fighting machine that almost conquered the world.

Look at Bush: he has experience but he's still not doing a better job.
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

I think the video he posted was just a user made viral vid, since it didn't have the "I'm John McCain and I approve this message" tidbit at the end haha.

No, it's an official ad released by his campaign.

Obama should respond with an ad showing how enthusiastic McCain's supporters are... oh wait...

If anyone had the right experience to be president, it was Hilary.

It's amazing to me that McCain was able to pull ahead in several states just by calling Obama a celebrity. Just how ****ing stupid a country do I live in?

One could argue that, since she was the only candidate to have already served two terms in office.. :XD:

All that needs to happen is McCain's swollen glands to explode and he is out.

Wouldn't it be strange if McCain had a heart attack before the election? Has a nominee ever died before?
