    I think McCain got it slightly wrong….actually they should have shown that Obama’s campaign is using lot of gas these days due to the large following he has and that its causing lot of demand for it and subsequent price hike

  • Decapoe:

    Rest of the worlds,not “reset”. And to Hell with Mcbush, I forgot that one too.

  • Decapoe:

    American companies like Haliburton and have been drilling and selling(to places like Mexico) since the takeover, there is no oil shortage,none, and yet American and Canadian gas prices are rising along with the reset of the worlds b/c guess who has cornered the market on gas? Added to the fact that the U.S. dollar is losing its value makes for a rufff situation in America.Vote Obama. Oil **** isn’t good business.

  • fourheadfox:

  • wiskawind:

    Kucinichi is supporting Obama/Biden! We have to vote the corrupt Republican Party OUT of a job. (smile)
    Out with the OLD, and in with the NEW!

    Obama/Biden 2008!

  • 310toBoston:

    It’s a good thing that once offshore drilling was legalized, gas prices dropped

  • bluesrunnerdog:

    McCain was once get respect from so many, now I’m one of them that will never look up to him or vote for him.

  • underdogD:

    Scary thing is… “Carl’s boys” know how stupid there constituents are. And this sadly includes some swing voters… We can only hope the lesser of two evils prevails! Obama that is… The only thing so far about Obama that i don’t like was his vote on FISA. Man! this country needs a strong third party to shake up the status-quo.

    DAMN SHE HAS A HUGE LONG NECK

  • rhjelm71:

    When I saw this ad the other day I couldn’t believe it. Mccain saying that Obama was single handedly responsible for high gas prices. I couldn’t help but laugh and said are you kidding me out loud. It was the most ridiculous attack ad up next is the comparing Obama to Spears and Hilton. Who in their right minds would ever believe this crap.

  • ohioworststate:

    Same tired tactics

  • berlicho09:

    i have some friends who supported Hillary and they always said they will vote for Maccain but unfortunately after this Ad for Blaming Obama for gaz prices wooow they said oh no Mccain is really the same like Mcbush so now they will vote for Obama so thanks Mccain’s campaign because this AD will help Obama for the general election. OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA. **** MACCAIN DUMB he even knows his geography

  • ceeedub:

    it scares me that they (the msm) are making mccain the laughing stock of the ‘free world’ and all the rest of ‘us’ too.. it seems somewhat contrived. we need kucinichl that would be real change!!

  • TheSexyPatriot:

    Yes, I saw that.

    It does not matter that McCain makes 10 blunders to every 1 Obama slip of the tongue.

    The GOP is so desperate they have to reach for the most inane soundbites they can find. Re: Obama said “bomb” instead of “bombs” when referring to the Japanese attack on Pearl Habor.

    You have to really be running scared to reach to that extent.

  • bugmenotzero:

    did you see that Mr Mccain does not know his geography. he referred to Pakistan as neighbor of Iraq.
    John McCain Iraq-Pakistan Blunder

  • TheSexyPatriot:

    I recently sold my home, and travel the US. Wherever I go, I ask those I meet about the current campaign.

    Without exception, I am told the GOP leaves a bad taste in the mouth…too much deceit and corruption.

    Travels have taken me to Seattle, to Boston, to Albuquerque..and without exception, they are all in favor of Obama and the Dems.

    My prediction: Regardless of polls..the worst of which give Obama a tie or 2 pt. lead…it will be a historic landslide.

    Obama will be our next President.

  • Pv8man:

    The republican party is not what it used to be.

    Now it’s being controlled by people with in-pure intentions. Lying, cheating and smearing is all the current republican party knows how to do, that’s the only way they know how to win.

  • TheSexyPatriot:

    they’re republican….need you ask?

    They have already decimated the economy, the constitution, the Bill of Rights, civil rights, privacy laws….there is nothing too low for them.

  • wadu18:

    oh man, how low can they go???

  • warp13:

    Just proves how low the Republicans can and will go. Electing McCain will ruin this country. What a loser!

  • mikanja2000:

    hey you know, the way my fellow Amerikans think, this add will actually help McCain, believe it or not….the tube says it is Obama’s fault, tube never lies, so it must be Obama’s fault….oh dear…

  • bettybangs:

    This is utterly ridiculous. Unbelievable. Yeah, let’s blame one guy for the rise in gas prices, even though this is a phenomenon that’s been happening for a while. What a load of BS.
