HOUSTON (AP) — Democrat Barack Obama accused his rival Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday of trying to "scare up votes" with a television ad showing sleeping children and asking who would be more qualified to answer a national security emergency call at 3 a.m.
"We've seen these ads before," the Illinois senator said while campaigning in Texas. "They're the kind that play on peoples' fears to scare up votes. Well, it won't work this time. Because the question is not about picking up the phone. The question is: What kind of judgment will you make when you answer?"
To the sound of a ringing phone, the Clinton ad shows children sleeping at night and a mother checking on a child as an announcer says a phone is ringing in the White House and something has happened in the world. It ends with an image of Clinton on the telephone as the announcer asks, "It's 3 a.m. and your children are safely asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?"
In a speech to veterans and their families Friday, Obama responded:
"We've had a red phone moment. It was the decision to invade Iraq. And Senator Clinton gave the wrong answer. George Bush gave the wrong answer. John McCain gave the wrong answer."
Obama said he stood up in 2002 "and said that a war in Iraq would cost us thousands of lives and billions of dollars. I said that it would distract us from the real threat we face and that we should take the fight to al-Qaida in Afghanistan. That's the judgment I made on the most important foreign policy decision of our generation, and that's the kind of judgment I'll show when I answer that phone in the White House as President of the United States."
"That's the judgment we need at 3 a.m. And that's the judgment that I am running for President to provide," he added.
The Clinton ad began airing in Texas on Friday morning. The Obama campaign also responded by re-airing an ad in which retired Gen. Merrill McPeak, the Air Force chief of staff from 1990 to 1994, endorses Obama.
Addressing 60 veterans and their families at a town hall meeting at American Legion Post 490 in Houston, Obama said, "Veterans are bearing the brunt of bad decision-making by our leaders."
The president's job is "to keep people safe. ... It means deploying our military wisely," he continued. "War should not be the first resort. ... lt should not be based on politics."
Texas is home to 16 active-duty military bases, including Fort Hood, the nation's largest Army post.
Barack Oprah Obama BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How’s that for an answer?
‘Cause nothing is more scary than sleeping children...
Yeah, it scares me to think either of the two Democrat Canidate might be there to answer it.
Obama Says Clinton Ad Scares Voters
Headline should read “Obama Says Clinton Scares Voters”
They showed her picture again, didn;t they?
VOTE HUSSEIN!
Speaking of ads to scare people, how long after the convention until Obama or one of his 527 groups start running ads saying if McCain is elected black men will be dragged behind trucks in chains and black churches will burn?
The person should answer and the voice on the other end says, “We have just traced the calls! They are coming from inside the HOUSE!!!!!!”
Now that would be scary!
Will John McCain and/or Karl Rove object to your being mean?
who thinks obama would have even attacked al qaeda in afghanistan after 9/11?
Mrs. Bill Clinton can't even stand being asked the first question in a debate. How can she possibly be qualified to deal with with a national security emergency of any sort?
B.S. - We all know that the person whom it scares most is Obama. It’s one of the most effective attacks she has made on him so far. I hope McCain is paying attention, because he would benefit from taking a similar approach.
Scary? No. Thought-provoking? You bet. Michelle, who/what do you think we are?
If the ad had Hillary wearing something skimpy, he'd be right.
(ring, ring)
"BhO here. They what? They blew up what? Holy Allah, it's 3AM. Get CAIR and my public relations people over here now. No, don't wake the Joint Chiefs. We'll tell them at the morning briefing. I want a news conference at 10AM, no, make that 11. No, I do NOT need the football in here now. Khara! I don't need this right now. Get Brzezinski and Clarke in here, and get me some coffee!"
First, the Clinton ad. I suppose it's supposed to be like the Goldwater "Daisy-Girl" ad LBJ ran in '64. Sounds more like Big Momma/Big Nurse-is-spying-on-us-and-getting-reports-on-our-kids-in-the-middle-of-the-night. I don't want Billary "protecting" me by getting calls in the middle of the night! It's just creepy. The Clintons continue to be tone deaf, thanks be to God.
And Barry Hussein's ad? War should not be about politics? It's obvious he does not even know who Clauswitz is.
McCain should be able to wipe the floor with this clueless Dumbo.
“Obama Says Clinton Ad Scares Voters”
Could be worse — she could show a little girl picking daisies, then show a mushroom cloud (ala LBJ in 1964).
