This is just hilarious ... underscores the all the hubris and sycophancy that goes with the Obama campaign.

The punchline is incoherent: "He may be the one, but is he ready to lead?" If he's the one, then he's ready to lead.

The ad will turn more people off than it will attract, by far. It's sarcasm placed in nice contrast with Obama's optimism.

Hilarious? If this is what we have to look forward to from McCain, we may as well just hold the inauguration today. McCain's ads don't have a hint of substance, don't convey a single idea of McCain's, and come across as cynical and bitter.

I love the ad. I hope it runs everywhere.

Has it been approved yet? The traditional "I am John McCain, and I approve..." is not appended, though they have a "paid for by John McCain 2008" message at the bottom. Can I contribute funding for the spread of the video?

is not interested in being president and neither are the republicans. I think they set him up to fail. It would be interesting to hear as to the reasons why.

That was idiotic. It shows multiple clips of Obama that portrays Obama in a positive light, then admits that he may be the one, adds some cheesy clips from the Ten Commandments and ends with a clumsy attempt at sarcasm. It makes Obama look good and makes McCain look like an ass.

That is an unbelievably bad ad for McCain. Seriously. If I was John McCain, I would fire that ad writer immediately and whoever else approved that ad. You spend the entire ad talking about Obama (even with a short clip from the 10 commandments) and then you end with saying 'He may be the one...but is he ready' ? Seriously that is a McCain ad? If I were Obama, I would acually laugh, call up McCain and ask if he is even going to try and win this election.

There are people like Tex who think this is his best ad yet. Fortunately, people like Tex appear to be running McCain's campaign into the ground. Keep it coming!

The punchline wasn't the greatest, but the ad was hilarious. I don't think those clips put him in a positive light at all ... "we're the ones we've been waiting for"? Really?

For those complaining that it wasn't a substance ad: duh. It wasn't supposed to be. I think McCain has released something like 5 or 6 negative ads on Obama now. Some are policy-specific and others (like this one) target perception.

I guess we'll see who's right about the effect on the electorate. I don't think Americans tend to love a prima donna.

Do they love grouchy old men short on substance with an inferiority complex?
