Campaign AdWatch: Hot White Women Like Obama (VIDEO)

Just when you thought the real world concerns coming out of Eastern Europe might send the Presidential campaign winging back in a more adult direction, John McCain hangs out his douchenozzle flag again, returning to his juvenile "Celebrity" meme. He'd have been wise to drop this theme, since the Obama campaign's decision to try to mine the same territory was the "Celebrity" attack's definitive shark-jumping moment. I guess the McCain camp just couldn't resist adding a Surge of race-card jujitsu for spice -- this new, painful, offering practically begs the Obama camp to draw the obvious "Harold, call me!" comparison.

Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are after them for copyright infringement violations. SUE them.

So far it seems the only reason John McCain wants to be president is so he can be as famous as Barack Obama.

Oh, and he wants hot chicks to dig him.

Oh, and he's been around forever so it's his turn.

Oh, and he won't have another chance cuz he's really old.

Oh, and he was a POW, so we owe him.

Where's the vision? Where's the purpose? Where's the passion?

I like Obama, but when I cast my vote for him I will also be giving a big thumbs down to McCain and his issue-deficient, morally-bankrupt, "hilarious" campaign.

John McCain is living up to he and his party's name; DOG FOOD REPUBLICAN BIGOTED BRAND. Not to worry. How did these "suttle racial overtone" attack ads work for "The Clintons". We will soon be celebrating Obama's presidency. Americans are not stupid, most do not like this type of behavior, and yet, McCain seems to think we are and do. The only voters that will get joy from this are Fox News viewers. You just can't teach an "OLD DOG NEW TRICKS". The final victory will be Obama's. That is all that matters.

"suttle racial overtone"

That's amazing.
You folks play the race card reflexively.

McCain has turned into Joan Crawford- having a bitchy queen like response cause compared to Obama, no one sees McCain as dreamy anymore. But he was more than happy to take advantage of his fighter jock rep when he was young- even enough to seduce a young heiress while he was already married. This is the level of discourse from the Straight Talk Express? Pathetic!

So Bush's meme was a POTUS you wanted a beer with, a likable guy. McCain's is vote for the bitter hate filled old crank nobody likes?

How disappointing, the video is no longer available. What happened, did the McBush campaign get embarrassed and pull it?

Anyone who votes for McCain after seeing this type of behavior and the fact that he isn't addressing the real problems we face deserves what they get.

Makes you mad doesn't it?

That's why he ran the add, it works. McCain's campaign is pointing out that most Obama supporters are enamored of him and functioning entirely on emotion and adoration. Grown ups don't get mad when they see that add, they stop and think about it.

What does this have to do with wayne's world ? I clicked the headline about mcbush using wayne's world against obama but no mention of that tactic.

So what are they trying to say? That O ba ma cannot be president because he's not ugly like McCreep?

Wow what a mature campain McCreep is running.

And don't forget, respectful. I am waiting for the O'bama ad where it shows Mc'Bush saying he will run a respectful campaign, and one of Cindy saying that he will run a respectful campaign, and then some shots of his "respectful" style of campaigning.

I think that Mc'Bush's negative campaigning is going to hurt him in the long run, the way it hurt H'illary.

I'm waiting for the Obama campaign to give up the race card.
What do you think the odds are of that?

This ad, desperation. Sidebar........Is huffington post so desperate that they need advertising from Newsmax??

[EarthToZoey]

You don't have to be a liberal to see that the McCampaign is desperate.

This ad.... is so freaking lame. I hope they play it on TV so that the American people can see what they're dealing with. I hope they play it next to O's 'Hands' ad so we can see the stark difference between these two.
