McCain To Obama: Welcome Home, Troop Hater

John McCain is welcoming Barack Obama back to America with a hard right cross.

The message of the Republican's new attack ad that debuted Saturday both perfects and makes more harsh a theme that his campaign has been developing for weeks: specifically, that the Illinois Democrat does not care about American troops. Drawing from Obama's one tactical misstep during his week-long trip abroad -- a canceled visit with wounded troops in Germany, the cause of which was a debate with the Pentagon over political propriety -- the McCain campaign nevertheless believes they have a useful new plot point at their disposal.

It's amazing how bad the McCain campaign is at, well, campaigning. When the ad claims that Obama canceled a visit with wounded troops to go to the gym, they use footage of Obama playing basketball WITH SOLDIERS IN KUWAIT! So, Obama refused to visit with the troops and instead decided to visit with the troops?!? Looks like the geniuses at the McCain campaign have finally got Obama painted into a corner.

I'm with you braindonut, everyone needs to stop stating the obvious (that McCain sucks and his ads are lies) and start realizing how effective they are going to be. Dont act like this nonsense helps obama like McCain doesnt have a chance. He actually has a very very good chance of winning and everyone one of these ads that none of the public will actually research helps him. Just saying you might be calling him Mr. President in a handful of months so be afraid, be very afraid.

First off our good old boy Obama shot himself in the foot pretty hard by not going to see those troops cameras or not.

Anecdote: We know why they didn't allow him to take cameras Because those injured troops are from Iraq and thats not good for war bonds.

We all knew that McCain would use this to his advantage, because its too hard to pass up a good left hook below the belt.

Obama made a tactical error on this one, he should have went to see the troops. To Obama it could be like taking his in laws to dinner, but sometimes he needs to do it.

You believe what a campaign sells you? It is after all in the candidates best interest.

I could careless about democrat, and republican infighting. Which is what this video amounts to.

I know who I'm voting for ands its not the lesser of two weevils because one of the lesser of to weevils is still a weevil.

This videos is obvious flamebait.
