McCain Says Obama's a "Celeb," Obama Says McCain Takes the "Low Road"

"Barackstar" LOL :D

Barack Obama and John McCain have made recent statements on US offshore oil drilling while on the US presidential campaign trail. Well, Offshore Drilling is a huge issue right now and rightly so. Between the desire to deal with the economic mess that is being spurred by the price of oil and the on-going longer-term concern of global warming,how do we address all of this? Check out Obama and McCain in side-by-side videos on clash/US Offshore Oil Drilling comparing their recentcomments on ANWR and offshore oil drilling. It is, if nothingelse,very interesting to hear their perspective.

why is bologna spelled baloney?

Does Obama have a sex tape or a crotch shot which I dont know about?

All McCain's ad says is "People like Obama more than me."

Kojak - Columnists don't speak for the paper. Furthermore, Milbank's version of the Dem. Caucus meeting is not in line with every other account of the meeting.

Deca, the amusing thing is: Lots of people think the Democrats are big spenders and NOT the GOP.

Both are big spenders, not the traditional Republican way. But the Democrats still spend much much much more.

Yes, the GOP leads us into $3T wars. But that's still far less than the unfunded entitlements that Democrats have and will continue to try and push through. But both parties support Medicaid and Medicare and the pharm bills that are not even paid. We have over $50T in domestic entitlements. Ugh. That's not getting paid.

Socialized health care would exacerbate our borrowing crisis to a dollar collapse level if the Democrats ever tried it.

At the height of his 'free media' attention and before we enter the negative campaign season in full, Obama leads McCain by 5% in the blended polls and actually has trailed McCain in some. No doubt McCain is one of the worst campaigners around but the voters are stubbornly refusing to get on the Obama bus. He'd better step it up and start talking about real issues, in detail.And since Hillary is out, he needs to pick anyone with a pulse and get this V.P. bullshit out of the way.

Sen. Obama still has an uphill battle. I'm just glad his campaign is on the ball and responding to Sen. McCain's attacks.

Sen. John Kerry waited way too long to respond to the lies about him.

How did they get the same lady to do both voice-overs? Impressive...

I would understand if McCain actually made a point in the ad.

Being popular doesn't mean that you shouldn't be a president or have any bearing on that question. That's a retarded connection to make.

Is it just me or does it sound like the same woman narrated both commercials? Get off the fence lady!!

You know that Lupe Fiasco would have knocked that shit out of the park.

Yes!! Ludacris should be ashamed because his lyrics are wack! Hilary "I'll do anything for a vote" Clinton has given us plenty of ammunition to work with...he should try again. And grill Bill while he's at it...

All you "Hip Hop" producers etc should work hard and do something "Off the chain",..... that's word, son...

McCain's campaign is acting without any sense of decency at this point. They're just blindly flailing.

Normally, I'd be against Obama, because he's a Democrat. But the Republicans, with their borrow and spend mentality, are really selling out the next generation to benefit the greedy baby boomers.

This election is a referendum on the corrupt baby boomer (and older) generation. They have to start being voted out of office, and it starts with the Presidency.

The idea that only Obama is being covered by the media is quite simply a joke.

"This is the best that McCain can do? Comparing Obama to Paris and Britney?"

Apparently bitter, snarky, green-eyed jealousy is all he has left.

Do they really believe that anyone who's on the fence about who they're going to vote for will reasonably equate Obama with Britney Spears or Paris Hilton???? That's the kind of political commercial that will go down in history as a negative example of what to do in a campaign.

Ludacris really should be ashamed of himself. Couldn't he come up with better lyrics?

why didn't obama use the picture of mccain & bush in their lover's embrace?

They are politicians, so by definition they are both on the "Low Road," although historically Chicago politicians tend to be subterranean in both tactics and those who vote for them.

The Washington Post has already declared him to be President.

McCain has some catching up to do.

This is the best that McCain can do? Comparing Obama to Paris and Britney?

You know, I think Barack actually has a shot at the presidency now. Just because his name is saturated in the media all the time. You see McCain's name in the papers rarely and it's only in reference to Obama. Every media outlet you go to it's always Obama this and Obama that. Good and Bad. CNN should just change their name to Obama News and Fox runs negative editorials and shit but it REVOLVES around Obama. So Obama is basically getting free publicity that McCain can not. Combined with George Bush's inadequecy that opened the door and his war chest he should definitely be the frontrunner.
