McCain compares Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears
Is it enough to be famous throughout the world to lead the USA? No, replied the Republican John McCain in a fierce campaign spot comparing his opponent Democrat Barack Obama the stars of newspapers scandal Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
The television spot launched Wednesday alternates photographs of two young women known for their pranks more than for their talent, and images of the senator from Illinois during his triumphal visit to Berlin last week. A female voice and serious questions the audience: "It is the most famous in the world, but is ready to govern?". And to say that the Democrat wants to raise taxes and prevent the USA to fight against their energy dependence. The video should be aired in eleven states particularly for the disputed presidential election in November.
The Democratic campaign team immediately responded in a spot largely completed in black and white, accusing John McCain, 71 years, to conduct "the same old policy" that the outgoing president George Bush, the same chess key, and recalling that Senator from Illinois wants to reduce the burden on the middle class.
In campaigning in Missouri, Barack Obama has emphasized the negative spot of his rival. "He seems to have nothing positive to say about me, n'est-ce pas? Should ask John McCain what he maintains, not simply what he opposes."
Before adding about Paris Hilton, "I've never met this woman." Meanwhile, Jason Moore, the agent of the millionaire heiress of the hotel chain family had merely know that "it has neither requested nor received permission from Miss Hilton to use its image in the spot. "
Faced with the popularity of his old adversary only 46 years, John McCain is increasingly aggressive and tries to transform the strong points of Barack Obama to weaknesses. It gives him the portrait of a man too inexperienced to lead the country, and too remote from the average American.
But the Democratic candidate did not dismantled. If its funds and its meetings are full to the USA and abroad, he knows he must convince voters he can be a good president, although he had exercised an elective office to this day.
"This is a big step, to elect a black type 46 years named Barack Obama!", He acknowledged Wednesday, dropping each of these words as assets in its Thursday "Nobody thinks that Bush or McCain have the real answers to the challenges that lie ahead. Then they want you afraid of me, "he added during a public meeting in Rolla (Missouri)," you know: it is not enough patriot, it has a funny name, it does not look like all other presidents included on tickets green ... "
John McCain, campaigning Wednesday in Colorado, did not mention his new spot, but reiterated many of his criticisms of his rival. "The beauty of its words attracts many people, especially young people, but what worries me with Senator Obama, the big and small issues. What he says and what it does are often two things different, "he accused.
By continuing to systematically dismantle his rival and wanting to sow doubt about it during a negative campaign, the danger for the senator from Arizona is to be locked in a caricature of old politician angry and embittered, by contrast Obama with an elegant, full health and popular.
But his campaign manager Rick Davis says stay calm. "I leave the American public decide what is negative and what is not, but I will do everything in my power to protect my candidate and that this competition is played on what I believes to be good arguments, "he warned.
