How is this not a lie?

Just look at 'em! And Obama isn't scared enough of them. If Obama were ready to lead, he'd be pissing his pants in terror at the mere sight of those scary Iranians, just like I am right now! That's right, true Americans are not afraid to be afraid. In fact, we're the biggest bunch of knock-kneed, whimpering, bed-wetting candy-asses anywhere, and gosh-darnit, that's what makes this country strong."

"I approve this message."

Cornball Is it just me, or are they consciously using a James Earl Jones-sounding black voice-over to avoid accusations of...I don't know.

Everything's done for a reason...

And is it just me, or is this the first time an add has actually said that big O is Dangerously unprepared?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

They're like that guy down the block who sometimes gets into his rant about the Jews. He also hates your brother-in-law for some unknown reason, but most of the time he's an okay guy.

It seems like it is just spreading his message for him for free. I know most stranger readers are liberals, but still. Next time why don't you post some commentary with the ad, or at least call him a douche bag.

But I am still expecting McCain to claim Obama is a child molester by Thursday. Anything that happens Friday on to Tuesday, in terms of ads or speeches, will be pointless for either candidate.

And is anyone dumb enough to be scared by this ad even give a shit about Israel?

I hope he has a handkerchief ready to wipe the spit of his colleagues off his face. And if I had lost my senate seat because McCain ran my party into the ground with his horrid campaign, I would seriously think about leaving the butchered head of an animal in his and Cindy's bed.

The Coalition invaded Iraq in six weeks. I guess I agree with Obama, Iran isn't a threat.

A strategic airlift capability?
Long-range strike aircraft?
Any way to get anything heavier than, say, a couple commandos and a 4x4 to the United States?


Then, no, they don't pose a threat to the United States. For the record, neither do terrorists. John McCain should know better. Bad Gimpy...no vote for you.

(No, I am not being sarcastic.)
