Obama ad portrays McCain as clueless Mike Allen 1 hour, 36 minutes ago The campaign of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Sunday released an ad echoing the line from his acceptance speech that John "McCain doesn’t get it.” The ad will air on national cable, the campaign said. The wording suggests that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is bumbling and out of touch – underscoring Obama’s generational appeal and hinting obliquely at McCain’s age – 72 as of Friday. The ad was billed as a response to McCain’s selection Friday of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. But mainly it’s another chance to show McCain with President Bush — twice in 30 seconds. The is called “No Change." An Obama release says it shows “how John McCain’s choice will not change the fact that he still desires to just offer four more years of the same failed Bush policies.” Here’s the script: Female narrator, over dreary music: “Well, he’s made his choice. But, for the rest of us… there’s still no change. McCain doesn’t get it, calling this broken economy ‘strong.’ Wants to keep spending ten billion a month in Iraq.” Then it shows McCain walking with Bush in the Rose Garden: “And votes with George 90 percent of the time.” And McCain presenting Palin at their Ohio rally: “So, while this may be his running-mate…” And Bush hugging McCain: “…America knows this is John McCain’s agenda.” And a photo of the White House: “And we can’t afford four more years of the same.” Then Obama says: “I’m Barack Obama. And I approve this message.” Obama drew cheers and applause when he said in his acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High, in Denver: “It's not because John McCain doesn't care. It's because John McCain doesn't get it.”
