i thought the ad was a great way to explain his policy concepts on how to move the country forward after the past 4 years of horrible governmental decisions by the Bush administration. My wife and i had already decided who would get our vote, so it didn't persuade us one way or the other, but i really got a sense of the injustices that Obama sees in our society, and wants to fix during a term as president.
What i really want to address is the McCain camp's statement that Obama aired this commercial on "broken promises". Sen. McCain, you are the last person in the world who should talk about broken promises. You who claimed that you would run a clean and honorable campaign based on the issues and have delved into the Rovian playbook that crippled your candidacy in 2000 and ignored the issues because you can't win on them, and instead made this a referendum on Sen. Obama's character. This is the biggest broken promise of the campaign, and you have delved into the deepest, darkest parts of politics in an attempt to gain the presidency.
So let me outline why McCain claiming that Obama broke a promise is another lie in a long string of distortions by Sen. McCain. The pledge that Obama made to stick with public financing was made with a stipulation that both parties would meet and discuss limiting the outside funding groups that produced the smear and swiftboat attacks in 2000 and 2004. Sen. McCain's campaign was not interested in limiting those contributions because they work in the Republican's favor, and as a result never met with Sen. Obama's campaign to draft an agreement on the funding issue. This means that McCain's campaign didn't fulfill their obligations to make Sen. Obama's pledge binding, and therefore, the pledge to take public financing is null and void. end of story. This is just another example of McCain crying unfair when he himself didn't take the necessary steps to enact a fairness on both sides.
Sen. McCain has run the most slanderous, non issue based campaign in the history of american politics, and has disgraced not only his name, but that of his father and grandfather by attempting to gain the highest office in the land through the dirtiest tactics employed by Bush 43 to slander Sen. McCain in 2000.
John McCain, a lesser son of greater sires.
