Powerline blog ^ | 8/28/08 | John Hinderacker

Check out this devastating new ad by the McCain campaign. It combines footage of various Democrats--including Barack Obama!--talking about his lack of preparation to be President with footage from Russia's invasion of Georgia:

PRobably about the best ad I've seen in a prez race. Too bad it's a minute 6. They need to get it to 30 seconds.

One problem with it though is when Dodd references the invasion of Pakistan thing - it's not really known that he is responding to Obama's statement (and it doesn't make clear to the uninitiated that Obama called for a unilateral attack on Pakistan).

I cannot believe it. Finally, a Republican has the balls to run a good campaign and not get all wussy. I just wish it was a conservative, however. But, I give him accolades on this.

So this is what McCain had in mind for tomorrow?

Nobama isn’t gonna like waking up to this after his coronation.

Whoever is coming up with these ads is doing an outstanding job. Anyone know who it/they are?

Steve Schmidt gets the credit for all this stuff, but I don’t know who’s actually writing the ads.

BARACK OBAMA’S PLAN TO SECURE AMERICA AND RESTORE OUR STANDING

“I am running for President of the United States to lead this country in a new direction… Instead of being distracted from the most pressing threats that we face, I want to overcome them. Instead of pushing the entire burden of our foreign policy on to the brave men and women of our military, I want to use all elements of American power to keep us safe, and prosperous, and free. Instead of alienating ourselves from the world, I want America – once again – to lead…

This must be the moment when we answer the call of history. For eight years, we have paid the price for a foreign policy that lectures without listening; that divides us from one another – and from the world – instead of calling us to a common purpose; that focuses on our tactics in fighting a war without end in Iraq instead of forging a new strategy to face down the true threats that we face. We cannot afford four more years of a strategy that is out of balance and out of step with this defining moment.”

— Barack Obama, Washington, D.C., July 15, 2008

From “The One” website.

His words just fills me with confidence < / s >

YouTube has pulled the video. But it is still on the Powerline website.

I advise someone in the McCain Campaign to actually (quantitatively) investigate whether Obama is in fact the most unqualified candidate for President to ever be nominated by a major party in the United States in the last 100 years. I believe that he is. He has never held an executive position and yet he is asking to be elevated to the highest level executive position in the land (Commander in Chief) AND with hardly any national statesman experience and NO MILITARY EXPERIENCE WHATSOEVER!

Making a QUANTITATIVE statement about Obama’s lack of executive AND military experience would perhaps be the best mechanism to force open the eyes of the Clinton democrats and independent “sheep” who for all the Hollywod glitz (Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Chevy Chase, etc.)
, glamour, and charisma can’t see a “wolf” when he is living among them.

Obama is nothing more than a puppet. I fear for who his puppeteers REALLY are. I do not like how he views the U.S. presidency as a Presidency of the World. He weighs international opinion equally with national opinion.
On a recent trip this past June to Europe I saw ALOT of Obama for President campaign sign everywhere.

McCain’s team has produced some brilliant ads. Are these actually getting air time in battleground states? Here in Texas, we’re not seeing much of anything from either candidate — and I couldn’t be happier about that!

That is 100% factual, hard hitting, undeniable, and unspinnable.

It must be a fluke, Republicans don’t hire media consultants that produce this quality of political video commercial.
