John McCain debuted another stinging attack video targeting Barack Obama Friday, this time mocking his White House foe as "The One" -- a quasi-religious figure who "anointed" himself to lead the world.

"Can you see the light?" the hard-hitting negative ad asks, following up on Republican McCain's new campaign theme that the Illinois Democrat is arrogant, transfixed by his own celebrity and not yet ready to lead.

The Obama campaign has issued a response. Read it from Ben Smith:


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."

This is just the beginning folks. The McCain camp can't campaign on their policies because they are either terrible policies or they don't have any. It will be pure attack till Nov.
The downside is at least 58 million voters in this country think this passes for sound debate.

This election will basically be America's IQ test.

I'm worried that we won't pass. Racism is alive and well in America.

If everybody votes it will look just the the old IQ bell curve. Split right down the middle. Funny how that works. The whole population gets smarter, but the dumb ones are still dumb. No matter how smart the Democrats get we still have to drag those other folks along. What's worse, we have to let them vote!

Turnout is the key.

Certainly from Europe's POV.

But just my saying that probably makes 400,000 people more likely to vote for McCain.

McCain is right. Obama is the one to lead. Thanks John for calling attention to that fact!

I agree. Running up the deficit is no way to fix the economy. Time to start punching, O, and stop making stupid promises. It's as lame as the gas tax holiday.

More and more, Obama is looking like the adult while McCain is looking like the child. The contrast is dramatic, and the chasm between the mature man and the childlike elder is growing daily.

OMG...I just finished sending the link to the other one to people here in ND, and now's there's an even loonier one!

Many people up here are already starting to think that Mc'Cain "isn't quite right in the head" (to quote one).

you think, I told you that war he was stuck in fired his brain, the fact that he didn't help the troops get education money and he was a POW is clear to me.... he's insane... mark my words, if he becomes president, we will see him as another dictator
