Obama responded to McWhiner's new line of attack today. He started off by addressing the Celeb ad:
Speaking to volunteers at an Orlando phone bank, Obama ribbed McCain for taking the campaign into the gutter. "When we started this campaign, we were hoping for a more elevated debate. I mean, imagine — at a time when we face more challenges than at any time in our lifetime, these guys are running ads with Paris and Britney," he said. "That’s frivolous. It’s desperate."
But wait, it gets better!
Obama said the campaign tactics are a sign of a lack of imagination over at Team McCain. "It’s a sign that they don’t have anything to offer to the American people so they’re just going to try to call folks names like you did in 5th grade," he said. "You remember that, back in 5th grade? You know, people’d be calling each other names and getting into these petty fights. We don’t have time for that."
The post goes on to trash Obama in typical Faux News fashion.
This is long over due, McCain is acting like a spoiled child that's mad because he's not getting his way. I'm glad to see Obama call him out on it.
