"Dangerously Unprepared to be President" (New McCain ad on Obama and Iran)
Powerline ^ | 8/27/2008 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 08/27/2008 6:57:04 AM PDT by Uncledave

John McCain's new ad, called "Tiny," is about Barack Obama's failure to understand the threat posed by Iran: I might be mistaken, but I believe the tag line, "dangerously unprepared to be President," represents a ramping up of McCain's criticism of Obama's lack of qualifications for the office.

At Denver’s airport, sellers were offering Obama t-shirts with his picture and the Black Power salute with the caption: Power to the People. Whoa.

Good ad - would be better with a couple more quotes from The One, but good nonetheless.

Another terrific spot from the McCain Campaign.

Those t-shirts will backfire when commonsense people see them and who is wearing them.

By Joe, I think they’ve got it. Those new guys running the show know exactly what they are doing.

And happily, they are doing it!

That socialist lad is in a tad bit of trouble.

Great ad - focused (unlike the American voting public), short (like the attention span of the American voting public) and likely to get under the very thin skin of the unvetted, empty suit being proposed for president by the MoveOn.org crowd.

Good ad. I didn’t think McCAin would be willing to attack Obama, actually pointing out his total ineptitude and lack of qualifications to be CIC. Obama has enough holes and bad affiliations you could spend the rest of the decade releasing ads and never get close to the bottom of the well.

It a good ad but they should have also mentioned that Ahmadinejad said something to the effect: “The USA will soon disappear into a fiery ball.”

No need for the middleman. Here’s the video link directly:

This comment appears under the video. I agree. First they asked the question "Is he ready to lead?" Now they answer it: "Dangerously unprepared." Of course the libs will say it's fear mongering. But hey, a healthy dose of fear is good for you. Keeps you sharp and (hopefully) alive.

the MSM fully expected McCain to lie down and roll over like Bob Dole

what we are all learning is that John McCain really wants to be elected President.

Good ad. I’m waiting to see an ad with video of the interview that Chris Matthews did with the Obama supporter who couldn’t think of a single thing that Obama had accomplished.

I'm thinking McCain simply kept quiet for a while so that he'd get the nomination instead of Shrillery.

If so, and if he's merely ramping up, he'll come out with both barrels after Bambi officially gets the nomination and the Dems are stuck with him.

That's what I'm hoping, anyway...

(now if only he'd drop the 'comprehensive immigration reform' and the 'cap and trade' mentality)

LBJ did the same thing with his 1964 "Daisy Girl" campaign ad.
