This ad is the grand roll-out for Obama's new get-tough personal attack campaign against McCain. If this is their best shot, I say Bring It On!
The McCain response might be... “Unlike our opponent, John McCain does not need to google foreign policy ideas.”
Indeed. Obama is opening the way for the "No Experience in a Dangerous World" campaign.... It'll kill him.
That is so lame.
McCain’s ad team is very superior to Obama’s.
Making fun of the old guy. That'll bring the seniors into the polls for Obama.
This commercial tells me that Obama is trying to get the youth vote - which he was supposed to have sewn up.
Things were good in 1982. Things have certainly progressed since then. Not all progress is good progress.
My father doesn't use a computer or a cell phone and I know many seniors who don't.
Obama is going for the youth vote, but election after election it is seniors who vote and not the Jeff Spicoli's in dorm rooms.
He can have an army of computer geeks to perform the business of government at his disposal and doesn’t need to waste time watching some kid who ‘likes turtles’ on youtube.
and yet he picked a VP who has been in there since 1972 and was against the Alaskan pipeline
all he has to do is same ageism
this Ad will not go down in places like south FL where many of the old live plus is he saying that because McCain cannot use the computer as good as them then he should not be president
so in their eyes the experience to be president is community organiser and send e-mails
pathetic, their elite view of life is seriously disgusting
use the liberals arguments against them.
time for conservatives and the republicans to not keep taking their shite and start to fight back
That's exactly it. They are shocked at what the latest polls are telling them, how the big youth advantage has gone "bye, bye."
I’m not gung ho about mccain, but this ad seems more like a school project than a political ad.
"William Ayers says that even though members of his group set off bombs that killed three people and murdered policemen, they should have done still more violence.
"Obama says that he was just a child when his terrorist friend pulled off these attacks - but while the trial was going on Barack Obama was an adult working at a firm located less than two miles away from where the attack took place.
"Barack Obama - befriending terrorists who killed his own neighbors."
This is where our support for corporate tax cuts can hurt us even though it’s the right thing for the economy. Of all people Obama is criticizing us for not cut for the middle class. I think we need to make it clear that not only do we want to keep the tax cuts permanent but press for more cuts.
I guess Obama has given up on the “Old Senile” voting Block in America in favor of the “Young Ignorant me first” Block... hmmm...
Obama knows how to play the ISMS....
Obama may be the most divisive politician in the history of this country.
Hey voters, you're stupid and out of touch if you can't use a computer or send e-mail!!
Amateurish.
Those were largely ‘70’s images (disco ball, rubiks’ cube), even the Televideo dumb terminal (although the technology was roughly the same on the dumb terminals in ‘82).
It was not politically astute for McCain to state that the economy wasn’t his strong point (and in a certain sense, NO ONE “understands” the economy. Anyone who did would make Warren Buffet look like a coupon clipper.) I did find the fact the McCain admitted it to be refreshingly honest. It is tempting, as a politician, to want to feign omniscience, but these guys are only human.
