McCain’s Recent Ad Punctures All The Hot Air From Barack Obama’s Very Gaseous Balloon
Beacon Street Journal ^ | 8/4/08 | John Kinsellagh

Despite howls of predictable protest from the media about him “going negative”, the recent McCain ad was as successful as it was timely in knocking the Chosen One down a notch or two off his lofty pretentious perch. The Obama-as-celebrity McCain campaign commercial was singularly auspicious as well. In conjunction with recent media antipathy towards Obama’s arrogance, overnight, it has effectively helped change the tenor and tempo of the campaign by forcing people to ask once again: who is Barack Obama?

Replete with images from his Berlin speech, the ad successfully redefined the Obama campaign, at root, as nothing more than celebirity worship. For, when viewed through the cool and dispassionate lens of reason instead of media-driven hoopla, as more time passes, the speech in Berlin will be seen as an unparalleled disaster for the campaign of Barack Hussein Obama. For it is emblematic for all that defines the shallowness and absurdity of his candidacy: the unparalleled self-love and conceit, both wholly unwarranted, given the absence of any substantive accomplishments or the presence of any steadfast principle of character. The ad went a long way towards stripping bare all of the misleading mythology surrounding Barack Obama. Perhaps now, more attention will be focused on Obama the mortal and less upon Obama the Exalted One. Upon close scrutiny, what this may reveal to the electorate is a man who is ill-informed, lacking in erudition and who has an appalling ignorance of history.

For, perhaps now as the ether escapes from the hot air balloon, many will ask the fundamental question: how can a man, whose only substantive experience prior to a brief stint in the Illinois State Legislature as a community organizer in Chicago, lay claim to the mantle of beloved former presidents Kennedy and Regan, journey to the locus

It will reveal much more than that. It will show WHAT this person is — not only totally inept and incompetent to be President, but so ANTI-AMERICAN to the core, he represents a social, military, national security and economic DISASTER looking for a country to happen upon. Not to mention his total lack of respect for our Constition, America’s core principles, its freedoms and THE RIGHTS AND WILL OF ITS CITIZENS.

McCain needs to be on the strong offensive relative to WHAT AND WHO this person really is.

I agree! The Chosen One has the potential to make the Carter presidency look competent in comparison.

I loved this ad!

The Chosen One and the media jumped the shark on that silly Europe trip.

His self-love fest before the European socialist crowd has backfired in a big way…

Most Americans aren’t impressed with his “world citizen” status.

It’s amazing how a well-placed Stiletto of Wit has pierced the massive Armor of Hype surrounding The One. Delightful.

He had it coming, and what a target-rich environment this pompous gas bag makes for those who are not spell-bound by his emptiness!

Following the diktaks of change by the Chosen One, I’m doing my part for worldwide peace and harmony and to stop global warming.

I’ve invented an auto powered by windmills. All I need is a few investors with a few million to invest wisely in this new green technology which can be online almost immediately.

It doesn’t take a weatherman to see which way the wind blows!

But if robbed of all his magical and Mystical Powers, who then, is Barack Obama? As evidenced by his latest fortnight flip-flop on off-shore drilling, and as spoken in the words of his longtime spiritual advisor and mentor, Obama is an ordinary electioneering and ruthlessly calculating politician, who will do and say anything if he believes it will secure him electoral advantage. Hardly the stuff of which New Messiahs are made…
As we used to say on 'Da Sout Side' -- "And dats da trut".

That 15 page New Yorker article exposed him for the power hungry egomaniac he is. When he blew into town (pun intended) he immediately set his sights on elected office and stepped on long time Dem Pols - all Black - to get it. And each office was just a short stop-over to get to the next highest office.

The guy is a calculating user and a poseur.

Ann Coulter was a guest on Larry Kudlow’s show last night. At one point an Obama apologist, connected to Forbes Silicon Valley, said that Obama was top of his class at Harvard.

Ann countered IMMEDIATELY: He was not!! What proof do you have of that.

The other guest, not used to being challenged so directly, eventually said Obama was editor of the Law Review so he must have been at the top of his class.

Ann laughed at him, and she would not give in until the guy admitted that he did not have any facts on his side.

Ann kept saying “you made that up.”

I wish every Republican/conservative who goes on these ‘debate’ shows would study this film clip. It was beautiful and well worth copying.

This add is not airing on my TV. How could it have “that” much of an impact on public opinion? Is it on TV somewhere?

(I mean that as an honest question)
