McCain Obama Moses Ad: Thou Shalt Not be Juvenile

Aug 1 2008 - 6:45pm

Apparently the John McCain camp didn't get the message when even Republicans claimed an ad by the Arizona Senator and Republican GOP nominee for US President comparing Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears crossed the line. Now McCain is comparing the Illinois Senator and Democratic nominee for President to Moses.

Then again, that may not be such a bad thing. Although nobody will accuse McCain of trying to attract the "younger vote" with a "Moses" ad.

Democrats called the ad "juvenile".

Nobody can fault McCain for doing his best to garner attention at a time when the press seems to be falling all over Obama however.

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.

"Barack Obama may be The One," the announcer says. "But is he ready to lead?"

The remarkably personal Web ad marked the end of a week in which the McCain campaign stepped up aggressive attacks against the Democrat, who would be America's first black president if he is elected on Nov. 4.

A television advertisement on Wednesday compared his sudden fame to pop culture celebrities like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

None of this has changed either candidate's odds of winning the White House. Obama remains a somewhat delicate -250 favorite verses McCain as the almost 2/1 underdog at Sportsbook.com.

McCain is Bush part 3

Plus McCain has a foot in the grave. No one will take this old coot seriously. Fresh blood, please. At least Obama is articulate and has a pulse - a huge improvement over the past greedy bloodsucking administration.

Juvenile? Hell it's the

Juvenile? Hell it's the truth. The 'Hollow Man' claims to be our saviour. Nothing but talk from a halfassed politician who barely qualifies to run for dog catcher much less president.

Amen, couldn't have said it

Amen, couldn't have said it better myself!

  • Online Gambling
    You may have read my article yesterday entitled “ACLU Should Stand Firm in Kentucky Online Gambling Issue” where I reveal how the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled the commonwealth may seize some 141 online gambling-related domain names, something even our friends in China would never do.
  • Healthcare Reform
    85 percent of customers at the betting exchange intrade.com believe that healthcare reform will pass. Those numbers are up from 40 percent in late February when those efforts looked doomed. Betting exchanges tend to be especially accurate.
  • Barney Frank Barbara Walters
    Democratic Congressman Barney Frank is considered the greatest ally for online gambling. Once healthcare reform goes through this weekend, we should expect to see Frank push his legislation related to legalized online poker. But the workhorse Congressman certainly has his hands full.
  • The online gambling sector was dealt a serious blow on Thursday with news that the Kentucky Supreme Court reversed a state court of appeals ruling blocking an attempt by the Commonwealth of Kentucky to seize 141 domain names related to online gambling.
  • The Kentucky supreme court today issued a ruling that it will not lift the freeze by registrars of 141 Internet gambling domain names unless an owner of the names comes forward.
  • With New Jersey Governor Chris Christie proposing deep spending cuts, the subject of legalized sports betting once more comes to the forefront.
