Obama Ad: McCain Out Of Touch, Out Of Ideas (VIDEO)

Going toe-to-toe in the ad wars, Barack Obama's presidential campaign is out with a new one today, accusing John McCain for being out of touch, out of ideas, and an ineffective no-show on the current financial crisis.

Titled "The Subject," the spot is noteworthy not, necessarily for its message. The Obama camp pushed the message Monday that McCain was resorting to personal attacks because the economy was not a winning issue. Aides to the Arizona Republican admitted it themselves. Rather, what stands out are the visuals McCain: pictured with President Bush behind the words "Out Of Time," despondent American workers, wandering stock market traders.

The ad, the campaign says, "will begin airing today across the country on national cable."

A short, powerful and honest ad.

Doesn't get any more timely and relevant then this ad. Clearly stated and to the point. Perfect. Every battle ground state needs this spot running in it.

AMERICANS. IF YOU WANT A YOUNG, EXCITING LEADER WHO CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE REST OF THE WORLld, VOTE OBAMA.
IF YOU WANT AN ANGRY OLD MAN WEARING AN OPEN BATH ROBE CUSSING OUT THE NEIGHBOURS, VOTE MCAIN.
ITS THAT SIMPLE!

Clean and to the point. Have to be careful not to sink to McCain's level.

wow, strong ad. I normally squirm a bit with political ads no matter who their are for.
This one is great.
Very watchable and the voiceover is great too.

[anopenmind]

[thestargazer]

Thumbs "WAY" Up!!!!

I love the shot with Bush almost backing up McCain, giving a wink like Palin has been doing. Works on a couple of levels.

[Rapideye]

Bush's Palinesque wink is priceless.

I firmly believe that McCain will lose it tonight. It's going to be very unfortunate but with all the hate Palin and McCain are spewing it's going to show up in McCain's demeanor tonight. You can't spend 5 days spewing hate and then pretend that people won't notice it in your presence.
McCain's previous town halls are his supporters these aren't his supporters tonight; they are people who disagree with his views and we all know that McCain and Palin do NOT like to speak to people who disagree with their views.

Also, I do believe that Palin's husband is a part of an organization that wants Alaska to secede from the USA. Isn't that called TREASON.

lets hope McCain looked at Obama's 13 minute "Keating Five" website and his head is ready to ex..plode. And, lets hope McCain's toady, Brokaw will feel the same pressure Kouric felt after the uproar on her creative editing of a McCain interview. He should allow Town Hall questions on Keating 5 and McCain's deregulation history. As for the Palin interviews, Kouric, after her pounding regarding the McCain edited interview, did step up and become a journalist instead of a McCain Sycophant.
Charlie Gibson after the pounding he took for the ABC debate also stepped up in his interview of Palin. I hope but doubt that the smug Brokjaw will change his ways but I expect him to get pounded mercilessly after tonite so maybe he will vanish from the scene forever. I expect tonite will just be a soap opera with the two leading characters, McCain and Brokjaw having a well rehearsed dialogue about how much they love each other.
