August 1, 2008McCain ad on Obama: 'They will call him The One' Posted: 04:03 PM ET
From
A new McCain Web ad pegs Obama as ‘The One.’ A new McCain Web ad pegs Obama as ‘The One.’

(CNN) – After a week of bare-knuckle political brawling on the trail, it seemed Friday John McCain’s campaign had found religion.

In a Web ad e-mailed to supporters, the McCain team painted Barack Obama as a recipient of near-messianic hype – and a candidate all-too-willing to believe it.

“It shall be known that in 2008 the world will be blessed. They will call him ‘The One,’” says the announcer in the minute-long video, over images of light shining from the heavens and a gospel music-like soundtrack, interspersed with clips drawn from Obama speeches.

“And he has anointed himself. Ready to carry the burden of The One,” continues the announcer. “He can do no wrong. Can you see the light?”

By the end of the ad, Obama seems to have received a promotion from mere Messiah to possible divinity: Charlton Heston’s Moses is shown parting the Red Sea, proclaiming “Behold His mighty hand!” as Obama’s presidential seal rises from the waters.

“Barack Obama may be the one. But is he ready to lead?” concludes the announcer.

On a flight to Panama City Florida, McCain senior adviser Nicolle Wallace told reporters that the video had been designed as a bookend to what the campaign believed had been a very successful week.

In a CNN poll of polls Friday, the Arizona senator cut Obama’s Monday lead by half, to three points.

Wallace added that the ad – which she described as respectful of all faiths — was intended to rally the presumptive Republican nominee’s supporters, and that there was an "important role for humor in all campaigns. I think all of us would slit our wrists if it wasn't for that."

Why because it didn't cut his lead by more? CAn I have a a few reasons why BHO should, and I mean Should be president. I am not being mean here but I don't often run into a BHO backers and often when I do they are younger and really cannot give me a solid reason, only why I or anyone shouldn't vote for Macain

wow. Thats very unusual.
I have heard nothing but the opposite.

I must live in a much more conservative area.

I have a lot of reasons that I am voting for Obama and none of them have to do with any other candidate. Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying he is a perfect candidate... by any means... but I think he could accomplish some good things for our economic situation, our international image, our military strategy and our environmental policies.

I also think he would be an even handed leader that would consider all sides. He has shown a willingness to talk to those that oppose his viewpoint and even those that oppose all of ours and has taken a lot of criticism for it. I see that as an asset whereas some just doubt his intentions.

We all have to make up our minds on that though.

If you want some reasons to vote for him please check out this web site. Some will call this information "propaganda" but it is his plan. Thanks and I am sorry you have had such a negative experience with this election. That is terrible.

well, His plan to not drill for oil, is very regressive, and keeps sending 700 billion ayear to foreign governments I think is ludricous, but on the other hand it is consistant with His desire to send ANOTHER 845 BILLION TO SUPPORT ALL THE OTHER FAILED SOCIETYS RUN BY DITATORS , those are just wonderful policies, go figure , I would rather kee that money here, thank you !!

I love his most recent idiotic idea - make the oil companies give everyone a check for $1000.

ExxonMobile made $11 billion
ExxonMobile paid $34 billion in TAXES

Anyone wonder why our prices are so high? Especially on diesel fuel?

They are tied now. This is great. Obama can call McCain old but God forbid McCain make fun of his rockstar status.

My brother, it seems like they suddenly not only found god but they are also pulling in the race card. McOldie is getting pathetic.

The only race mentioned or implied in that ad is the current political race

The best thing to be said for The Bombers $1000 per person rebate is that it would immediately give us $5 a gallon gas instead of us having to wait for it

All that is necessary is Obama supporter move to Venezuela, live under Hugo Chavez rule to get the feeling of an Obama Regime. After all Chavez took those mean ole Oil Companies to Task, he just took all of thier profits.

Obama is a Radical Socialist/Communist/Marxist with a way with words.

I'll tell you what is scary, the people that actually believe the political B.S. that Obama spews out.

I will say it again, 40% of the people in this country have enough sense to come in out of the rain, 60% don't. Guess who will vote for Obama.

Who is going to win? Damned if I know. No matter who wins, I have a bit of advice for them. Do not try our patience, do not push us so hard as to make us truly angry, because you will not like us when we are angry. No, you will not like us at all.

My name is Cyrus Martin. I live in Euless, Texas along with a bunch of other people. I enjoy a healthy debate now and then as well as a heated discussion. I don't enjoy to argue though and I find it absolutely beyond annoying to see people spread ignorance, hypocrisy, lies and distortions in the guise of truth or Christianity. I am a proud Christian (which is sort of an Oxymoron) and I love God very much. I think most Christians do... unfortunately there are many that will use his name to promote a twisted and evil agenda and guilt any who would seek God's face into following them without question. For too long we have been cowed by this tyrannical Christian terrorism. One of the purposes of my life to help bring this into the light. If we are Christians then we should think about what that means and the responsibility that comes along with that comfortable label. Thanks! I hope we will have some great talks. -Cy
