In harsh new ad, Obama calls McCain 'dishonest, disgraceful, dishonorable'
A new week in the presidential campaign brings a harsh new ad from Democratic candidate Barack Obama condemning his opponent for his reliance on false attacks and dishonest smears.
The ad released early Monday morning is perhaps the harshest spot from the Obama camp so far this election season. It cites reviews of John McCain's recent tactics and juxtaposes them against the Republican candidate's earlier promise to stick to the high road in his campaign.
"What happened to John McCain?" a female announcer asks. "He's running 'the sleaziest ads ever.' ... 'Dishonest smears' ... a 'disgraceful, dishonorable campaign.'"
The Obama campaign e-mailed a copy of the ad to reporters around 6 a.m. Monday. It follows a pair of ads released last Friday, including one that mocked McCain for his inability to use a computer.
The New York Times reported last week on plans within the Obama campaign to go on the offensive, after a string of smears from McCain.
After back-to-back attack ads by Mr. McCain, including one that misleadingly accused Mr. Obama of endorsing sex education for kindergarten students, the Obama campaign is planning to sharpen attacks on Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin in an effort to counter Mr. McCain’s attempt to present himself as the candidate of change with his choice of Ms. Palin.
The new ad comes a day after Obama's campaign revealed its record breaking $66 million fundraising haul last month. Obama nonetheless finds himself slipping in national polls as McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin enjoy an extended post-convention bounce.
The following ad, "Honor," was released by the Obama campaign Monday.

I love this ad, and I hope he pushes a little harder with each one.
We'll know it's worked when people start asking if John McCain would lick a bathroom floor to become president.

yeah I just saw this on HuffPo...WTG Obama...I guess he is listening!
OUCH.
That one stings....
That one stings....
That's what I like about Obama. The ad is true, just reframes the discussion. McCain's dishonor.
Yes, it's smart to keep the focus on McCain and how miserable he and his horrible pick of Sarah Palin would be for America.

Good ad.
Obama doesn't have to give 'em hell ... he just has to tell the whole, ugly, painful truth, and they'll THINK it's hell (paraphrasing Truman).
Obama needs to keep up the good work!
