Sen. John McCain released his latest campaign advertisement, but he's not mentioned in the entire ad. The 30-second spot is totally devoted to his opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, and links the presumed Democratic nominee to celebrities Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. "He's the biggest celebrity in the world," a narrator says over chants of "Obama, Obama." The screen then shifts to shots of Spears and Hilton. The ad continues with: "But is he ready to lead? With gas prices soaring, Barack Obama says no to offshore drilling and says he'll raise taxes on electricity. Higher taxes, more foreign oil--that's the real Obama."

McCain Equates Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears
As a potential president, I would hope one would not use the likes of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Whomever used the two people only made their parents look like bad. The parents of these two should sue this campaign for defamation of character. One thing Barack Obama has is character. We need many of integrity and character, not of hate and sabotage. If this man has to stoop to the very things we hate in other countries, then, he is no better than the very people he is talking about. Stop smearing!!!
