This isn't mudslinging. Don't you think it's important for America to know that the McCain campaign is full of lobbyist, who do you think is mapping out McCains agenda. People like Phil Gramm and Rick Davis, dudes that couldn't care less about the middle class, and are willing to exploit them.
There have been eleven Presidents who had no military service, beginning with John Adams who was the second President. Eight others, including the current President, were in their state militia.
Sounds like you're just embracing the right's tired, old, "liberal media" rhetoric.
Why would they denounce it? Like McCain's ad, it's a positive ad. It's calling McCain very popular celebrity.
Frankly, if they did denounce it as "negative," that would prove the media's pro-McCain bias, since they all bought into the McCain campaign's spin that McCain's ad was "positive."
This is a positive ad because it calls McCain a popular celebrity.
Probably won't happen since it focused on McCain's actions, rather than loosely attaching someone else's actions to McCain. It's not the negativity that gains criticism, it's the method by which that negativity is being expressed.
Obamania is in full effect which is cool because Americans are smarter then that.
Just one quick fact i would like to point out, only one president in American history has not been in the military in some facet , Americans understand John McCain a war hero someone most Americans can be like Obama or McCain wasn't john McCain in a war hasn't his son fought in Iraq as a Marine and he still wants to have troop surges . He has my vote. McCain 08!
Oh, so you voted for John Kerry cause he was 10 times the war hero McCain was and got the medals to prove it.
That's what I thought. Brainwashed!! Your gonna vote for a guy whos policy is the same as Bush. The same Bush who has like 27 percent approval rating. Wow. I guess you like being raped by the Gov't.
Can someone explain how a talent for losing airplanes, and sitting in a prison cell for a few years, makes McCain a "hero"? Granted, it was a miserable experience, but all it seems to have done is make him cranky.
islanders084, you said: "i would like to point out, only one president in American history has not been in the military in some facet " Islanders, which President did you have in mind? John Adams, the second President? John Quincy Adams (6th)? Martin Van Buren? Grover Cleveland? William Howard Taft? Woodrow Wilson? Warren G. Harding? Calvin Coolidge? Herbert Hoover? Franklin Delano Roosevelt? Bill Clinton? None of these Presidents served in the military.
I'm not a fan of this kind of ad, but Obama had to respond. McCain was in the Hollywood circuit and was the original "celebrity" when he returned as a POW, so his name-calling of Obama was absurd. I'm glad Obama countered it, but unfortunately I don't know if this will get the same attention McCain's original celebrity ad will get.
Its a stupid game and silly that Obama has to return the attack against McCain. McCain doesn't want to argue the issues so he tries to degrade his opponent like bush did to kerry. The american public got fooled into voting for bush and look where we are now. Anyone considering more republican leadership is either a fool or simply just hasn't been paying attention these last 4 years....
Lol. What is going through Obama's head? John McCain has such low road politics! He keep running negative ads! Let's run negative ads about him and make it look like he is the only one doing it!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
is this the best old BO can come up with? He's falling in the polls guys. Sure wish Edwards would have been your man, then we would have had something real fun to talk about. Cheers

oh did he? I would figure he would be way less likely to cheat than mr edwards, have you seen that thing hes married to? BOs wife is no fine pick either, after hearing her rant I bet ol bo is looking for a little something extra to, not to mention that she's an antiamerican nation of islam whore whom bo is trying to distance himeself from at this moment.
Uhm, yeah you're pretty ignorant aren't you?!? Maybe you should spend more time reading the newspaper and less time listening racism separatist republican mouth peices. I don't think that you reached this distorted opinion on you own big guy. WAKE UP!
That message is in response to burningsyn. McCain did have an affair. He has been let off the hook by the "left wing" media for years, which makes no sense. He is as right wing as you get on social issues. McCain is a bitter old troll, and I hope he loses BIG!
I wasn't cherrypicking polls. They are sites that average numerous polls: CNN, Electoral-vote, Rasmussen, and Real Clear Politics. Real Clear Politics, averages EVERY poll, and as of now, McCain is behind.
Finally a sign Obama's not going to take the slime lying down.

You all should check out McCain in 2002 SNL, "wedding Crasher, and 24, This man lies- and he is doing so more in his old age.

Obama leads in the electoral college according to four different polling sites.
McCain had extramarrital affairs on his first wife. Now that would be fun to talk about.
