What is your opinion about an Obama ad, linking McCain to lobbyists?

Question

I have no link to that, but just saw it on TV and am most certain the Obama people can probably provide it.

And how long do you think it will be before the McCain camp strikes back?

Interesting link:

It's all about the experienced mentor, representing 'change'.

Seriously, doesn't anyone see the humor in this like I do?

Answer 1

Indeed I do see the humor in it.  Both parties hurl accusations back and forth, and in the end, not one opinion has been changed nor one vote won or lost.  This late in the game, everyone has decided who they are backing and all the finger pointing in the world isn't going to change that.

Answer 2

I agree with Gentle Giant. All of them have been tied to lobbyists.

But with Biden by his side, and the Resco thing on him, does he really want to go down that path?

That ad, taking all things into consideration, was wasted money because the point he's attempting to make is completely moot. He and his kind are just a guilty.

What a bafoon.

ADD- Awwwwwwww Suthyrn. Give Paul best answer. LOL

Answer 3

I think it will come back to bite him in the name of R. Hunter Biden.

Answer 4

I think he needs to look at his own VP before he talks about lobbyists.

Answer 5

I haven't seen the ad but it is documented that McCain wrote letters to the FCC on behalf of his close lobbyist friend's client. That was very unethical.

Answer 6

I don't find the humor in any of it, sorry. It is one of the major problems in our federal government. It's stupid and we're stupid to think any senator in Washington who has been there for any amount of years, is not bought and sold by lobbyists money. I haven't seen the ad but it does not surprise me one little bit to see Biden or any other senator doing business with K Street. We all sit on here and gripe and come November the fourth we'll walk into our polling places and vote the same bums in again. We are stupid, and they give us exactly what we deserve, to be taken to the cleaner and sold a bill of goods.

Answer 7

I say liek all of Obama's other posotions those in glass houses ahould not throw stones he has jsut as amny in his camp....Obama's posotions are all wrong he leaves himself open to so many attacks.......  

Answer 8

I hope Obama brings on the debate about being charmed by lobbyists! Apparently, Tony Rezco wasn't enough?

The only time Obama digs a hole and falls into it is when his mouth is moving.......OMG!

Answer 9

The ads on TV are out there for the idiots who don't bother to actually follow the conventions or the debates.  I say "idiots" because that's exactly what you are if you base your vote on a commercial.    

Answer 10

It's the truth, so republicans will act outraged.

Answer 11

Too funny yes I see it.  And I heard about that Hedge fund thing a few weeks ago actually.  Yep lot of change.

McCain 08

Palin 2012

Flip flop?? You do not actually pay attention to your candidate do you?

Answer 12

People in glass house...see Biden

Answer 13

I've seen that ad too. And I thought," What the h**l?" I think it is obviously aimed at Obama's gullible supporters. They will apparently believe anything he tells them. I think most of these ads are aimed at people who do not think for themselves. People who are generally incapable of critical thought.

Answer 14

I se pointing out that virtually ALL of McCain's staff are or were lobbyists and pointing out the inherent hypocrisy is somehow wrong is it

God I'm glad to NOT have your warped sense of right and wrong

Answer 15

sort of the pot calling the kettle black.

Answer 16

It is funny when Obama claims McCain is doing one thing and the Obama camp is doing the very same thing they accuse McCain of doing

Answer 17

Don't know about that as I have not seen it, but after reading your link, the Obama camp has no room to talk at all.  They are in just as deep as the stuff they say McCain is involved with.

Answer 18

Well you know SG Delaware is such a small state there isn't that many places where a politically connected family can go out and ge money to buy a hedge fund. Boy are you cynical.......

Answer 19

If I recall, Biden has a brother AND a son under investigation for questionable lobbyist violations.

Answer 20

I think Obama is telling the truth.  McCain is bought and paid for by lobbyist.

Answer 21

That's rich.  Biden has family members who are lobbying and under investigation. He has been in D.C. politics for 36 years.  Some change huh?

Answer 22

typical Obama slander ad, Obma the ear mark champ for freshman senators, the guy lobbists buy err rent, and if you look back to his days in Chicago, or check out the book the case against barack obama, you'll see

Answer 23

you can link each and every one of them to a lobbyist, if they got elected then they know a lobbyist.
