Oh Baby Baby -- Obama Fires Back!

It is on now!
McCain, Obama
Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor just released this statement about John McCain's new political ad, comparing Mr. O to Britney and Paris:

"On a day when major news organizations across the country are taking Senator McCain to task for a steady stream of false, negative attacks, his campaign has launched yet another. Or, as some might say, 'Oops! He did it again.' Our dependence on foreign oil is one of the greatest challenges we face.

In this election the American people have a real choice -- between Obama's plan to provide tax rebates to American families while creating a renewable energy economy in America that frees us from our dependence on foreign oil, and Senator McCain's plan to continue the same failed energy policies by handing out nearly $4 billion in tax breaks to oil companies while investing almost nothing in the new energy sources that represent our future."

61. Hey MarkScottMusic? At least he knows that the United States doesn't consist of 57 states ... the majority of you dunces wouldn't know geography, math, English or anything else for that matter. You just want a FREE ride like most DIMocrats.

62. If chicken stripper thinks Paris and Britney have more brains than McCain, then chicken stripper undoubtedly is a porn star.

63. I love #58's comment...that is EXACTLY what Obama does!

64. I wouldn't vote for McCain if you put a gun to my head, the Republican party has turned into FACISTS!

While Obama gets railed on for literally anything, McCain and his detour express can't even answer a question directly, I've watched that same nonsense for the last 8 years!

65. Oh, the audacity of hope ~ change ~ Teflon Barry, aka Barack Hussein Obama. Tell me, dear folk, how a JUNIOR senator (143 days in the Government ~ unlimited days off for campaigning) from Illinois (which, by the way, has the largest prison in the U.S) can run a Country as great as this one when he can't manage his own constituency (i.e., "Rev" Wright, Louis Farrakan, ad nauseum, all outspoken America/n-haters). All we hear from talking heads is how old Mr. McCain is. So is that a crime? He may not be the perfect candidate, as there is no such creature, but I'd rather have the wisdom and experience of Grandpaw who has shown his bravery and devotion to duty and country in the face of the enemy than the self-aggrandizing, talks-a-good-talk-but-says-nothing-of-substance of "Glamor" Man. Who ya' gonna call when the fanatical death-to-America nut jobs come knocking? Instead of sitting down with Jeremiah and explaining to him that damning America is not a good thing and that he should apoligize for such traitorous diatribes, Barry threw him under the bus. That, after he listened to this crap for 20 year? And we expect O to sit down and talk down the 3rd-world country leaders who want to do us in? Duh. Give me a break, folks. I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.

66. Everytime I come to a board spewing Obama lies I just realize more that I'm on the correct side of this election. I'm still looking for a McCain supporter to debate me on substance and not what Obama's middle name is. Then again when you support George Bush, stupid is simply on your side.

67. Abraham Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN

68. Seems to me all the talk by Sen. O about offering rebates equates to BUYING VOTES.
Doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb and oh so inexperienced! Very scary methinks!

69. Wow TMZ - I cant believe how obvious you are about your choice for Prez. Nothing wrong with free speech, but lately Ive tended to agree that the media just might be in the bag for Obama. It truly is a turnoff for those of us who havent yet decided our vote, and in my opinion could possibly hurt his chances. Why are politics discussed on a site like this anyway? Arent there already enough forums for that? Stick to the trashy stuff TMZ - stop trying to bait folks into more division. We arent stupid and know how to vote for ourselves for the candidate WE choose.

70. Now that Barack is home from his celebrity tour overseas, I expected it would get down and dirty. I find it amazing that so many of you think that Barack has the experience to run this country. Right now we have a Democratic legislature and what has that got us in the last few years? Hmmm?? I almost hope he wins just so I can say "I told you so" when he can't follow through on all his pretty promises.

BTW, it seems some of you are not aware that the President does not make laws.

71. But how can you call the Republicans stupid? I mean when the President tells us we must break our dependence on oil but then says we must drill for more when oil is controlled on a global market, how can you argue with that logic? ;)

72. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU WHITE REPUBLICAN A-HOLES. WHEN BARACK WINS YOU WILL ALL PAY DEARLY AND BECOME THE SLAVES AND WE WILL BE THE MASTERS. I CAN'T WAIT

Well after passing this recent housing bill I would say they already have done more than the Republican Congress did in the 6 years of free reign they had under President smart as rocks.

This might be the worst attempt at reverse psychlogy I have ever seen, but then again, McCain base is clueless enough to fall for anything. If the man can't even give a straight answer on birth control, then either he needs to step down. A President can't give a straight answer on something as age old as birth control??? Big pass....

75. B. Hussein Obama is a con man and the "useful idiots" of this country are behind this charade. Hussein is a socialist, America hating air head....great at "reading" speeches that someone else has written. No resume...just his tired & failed liberal ideas of the past. "NOBAMA....KEEP THE CHANGE"
