Obama camp responds: ’sad…juvenile antics’
Barack Obama’s campaign responded sharply to a new McCain webad depicting Obama as a parody of a biblical prophet.
“It’s downright sad that on a day when we learned that 51,000 Americans lost their jobs, a candidate for the presidency is spending all of his time and the powerful platform he has on these sorts of juvenile antics,” said spokesman Hari Sevugan. “Senator McCain can keep telling everyone how ‘proud’ he is of these political stunts which even his Republican friends and advisors have called ‘childish’, but Barack Obama will continue talking about his plan to jumpstart our economy by giving working families $1,000 of immediate relief.”
The ad, released only on the Internet, is the latest in a series mocking the Democratic nominee.
“It should be known that in 2008 the world shall be blessed,” begins the ad’s deep-voiced narrator. Later, Obama emerges Godlike from the clouds.
The ad quotes Obama in both serious riffs telling a crowd “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for”; and in a sarcastic one, joking to an audience, “You will experience an epiphany and you will say to yourself, ‘I have to vote for Barack.’”
The ad then shows Obama expressing his hope that America will look back at the 2008 election as the beginning of the end of global warming. The ad then cuts to an image a Charlton Heston, as Moses, parting the Red Sea, before concluding:
“Barack Obama may be The One, but is he ready to lead?”
Obama’s campaign responded to McCain’s webad after sending out a separate statement from Newark Mayor Cory Booker, whom McCain had praised in a speech at the Urban League today.
“In yet another dishonest attack at the Urban League, Senator McCain misled the American people about Senator Obama’s record and his own,” Booker, an Obama supporter, said, praising Obama’s support for charter schools in Illinois, and attacking McCain’s opposition to spending on a range of education programs.
“With that kind of track record, Senator McCain should be the last person lecturing Senator Obama about a commitment to quality education for our nation’s children,” he said.

Just telling the truth ad.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:39 pmGood one, McCain!
But you need to do more than just mock Obama. You need to set out exactly why you will be a better President than the “anointed one”. Follow the examples of winning Republicans in the past, like the Contract for America which laid out a few strong points upon which Republicans would campaign for and promise to enact once in office. Give Americans something to vote FOR, and not just something to vote against. (Although every little bit helps.)
August 1st, 2008 at 2:41 pmMan, this one really nails him for his arrogance.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:49 pmPretty easy election…. Are you a child that should be living on an ‘allowance’ and can’t be trusted to do the ‘right thing’ and, if so, do you want TheOne to be your Daddy?
August 1st, 2008 at 3:03 pmPat, several radio shows ago you mentioned that McCain has one clear advantage over Hussein and that was when he wants to McCain’s got a tongue like a straight razor.
We may be seeing it in another form with these Internet commercials.

August 1st, 2008 at 3:25 pmHey if Hussein and his cronies want to act like he is the one, then what is the big deal with the ad? They are just upset because they did not think of it first. I mean they do act like he is the second comming. We all know he is actually the Anti-Christ!
August 1st, 2008 at 3:53 pmObam-i-nation is stuck on stupid as per usual. If anyone is childish or impish it is Oby-won-a-dopey. Any commercial that supports Obey for president should always have a disclaimer something to the effect of “this is your brain on drugs”. I mean really…Anyone that supports Obey has to be high on something other than life.
All McCain has to do is act like the prick he was aboard ship before he was captured and afterwards. McCain shouldn’t be taking shit from a rich punk like Obambi. He should be smacking him in the head every chance he gets.

August 1st, 2008 at 4:23 pmI don’t understand how anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together can even think of voting for Obama. There are a LOT of really stupid people out there I guess.
I wonder if the Obama camp has forgotten about Hillary.Listening to her at this small gathering she speaks of unity ,but is not against a write in campaign, Obama your back is exposed and Hillary is still out there:

Wendy…If he isn’t he sure is a damn fine precursor.
August 1st, 2008 at 6:16 pmOh man. That ad is hilarious.
Obama sure is doing a lot of reacting at the moment. Looks like Mac has seized the iniative and doesn’t plan to let it go.
August 1st, 2008 at 9:09 pmMore, more, more. Follow with an energy ad. Make plain why your plans are better for the US and Obuma’s are nothing. Saw some suggestions for ads: the one Repubs used today in the House, old VW with a sail attached and another, a woman on her knees by her car tire checking inflation. What an empty suit, saying that keeping tires inflated and having tuneups could be equal to drilling! Silly ass.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:00 pmThey do mock quite a lot, but how is that any more childish than him being friends with Ludacris?
August 2nd, 2008 at 6:56 amI can’t wait until the gloves come off. Peel away the fluff and you have a fool beyond belief.
