The campaign of 2008 started on July 1 when Obama launched his first national advertising buy of the season.
How McCain responds and whether or not he does, will have a big impact in determining whether Obama can solidify or expand his current lead in the polls. As always, the media fails to cover the significant events of the campaign — but this is one of the most critical.
The Obama ad, which introduces him as someone who worked his way through college, fights for American jobs, and battles for healthcare also seeks to move him to the center by taking credit for welfare reform in Illinois which, the ad proclaims, reduced the rolls by 80 percent.
But there's one problem — Obama opposed the 1996 welfare reform act at the time. The Illinois law for which he takes credit was merely the local implementing law the state was required to pass, and it did, almost unanimously. Obama's implication, that he backed "moving people from welfare to work," is just not true.
With Obama running the ad in all the swing states (Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Virginia), this gross usurpation of credit affords the McCain campaign an incredible opportunity for rebuttal.
For the past two weeks, Obama has moved quickly toward the center. He has reversed his previous positions for gun control, against using faith based institutions to deliver public services, against immunity for tele-communications companies that turn records over to the government in terror investigations, for raising Social Security taxes, for imposing the Fairness Doctrine on talk radio, and a host of other issues.

From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That’s how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.
Come on!
Why aren’t you shouting this?

Why aren’t you shouting this McCAIN?
Mad Jon needs to order a double shot of Geritol and start dealing with the Obamao directly based on the outright lies the man has been selling...
NOBamaNation.

Okay, he thinks this way so WHO thinks this way. Who are his handlers?
Who’s footing the bill?
Paging McCain. Hey.over here...Let’s see some of that gutsiness you’re suppose to have!
This joker will be chum for the 527 sharks, post Labor Day.
McCain and the RNC seem to be asleep. When will anyone start disputing this pile of crap called Hussein.
Seen the ad in Wisconsin - thought I was gonna barf.
Bingo.
For those who are upset that McCain is not on the offensive they need to realize 2 things:
1) Attacking Obama now gives him way too much time to recover, and uses legitimate issues up from a media and public understanding perspective much too soon
2) If Obama is clearly going to lose in November, and they haven’t held their convention yet, there is a very good chance Obama won’t be the nominee. And I think the McCain campaign believes that Obama is the easier opponent to beat come November. I am not sure they aren’t right.
Obama peaked too early. It would be a mistake for McCain to do the same.
The blood is so thick in this water I can't see how they could miss...
Run an ad correcting his record.
Have some balls for a change.
Stop apologizing and being “Mr. Nice guy”.
“WE” are shouting this. MSN is in charge of indoctrinating Mr. and Mrs. Bubba Six Pack.
They cover his Muslim, Marxist, racistism, America hating history, his flip-flops, his gaffs and his lies.
He's acts like an eunuch.
“McCain and the RNC seem to be asleep. When will anyone start disputing this pile of crap called Hussein.”
I think McCain is in a coma.
That Ad is now running here. It also says that he was raised by a single Mom who had little money? Wonder how they ever paid for all of those private schools he attended?

Obama said, “Yeeetyayou know I am a believer in, knowing what you are doing when applying for a job. And I think that if, I were to seriously consider running on a National ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate. Now there are some people who might be comfortable doing that, but I’m not one of those people.”
Thank you, had to see it for myself, and it’s obvious he got a big head from sitting around the Senate, not reading the bills he’s voting on, just supporting the liberal line better than My candidate. What to work more hours everyday to support everyone who won’t work, college kids? Vote Obama.
