McCain Equates Obama With Paris And Britney

Angry Obama Rep Fires Back

"He's the biggest celebrity in the world. But is he ready to lead?"

See, I told you no one wants to be Paris Hilton or Britney Spears. Republican presidential nominee John McCain went for the jugular in an ad released today, that equates Democratic rival, Barack Obama, with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.

So I take it McCain is calling Obama a white girl (just kidding). Seriously, if McCain had compared Obama to another blonde, Diane Sawyer, he wouldn't have been upset, because she represents dignity.

However, Spears and Hilton represent vapidity, superficiality, lack of substance and fame for controversy - not traits you wish to be associated with when running for political office.

Obama (Democrat)

Obama should fire back with an ad calling McCain rapper Remy Ma. Tell everybody McCain popped a cap in his former political advisor Phil Gramm for stealing $2,000 from his IRA (I'm just kidding).

John McCain (Republican)

Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor responded by tsk-tsking McCain for his negativity and channeling one of the figures in the ad.

“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," said Vietor. "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."
