That is NOT a negative ad as political ads are concerned.

Of COURSE he discusses the other opponent. That's what campaigning is about.

He talks about the issue and his opponent. But he hasn't called him names or raised ad hominem attacks on his character.

There is a huge difference.

It's still politics - and nobody is suggesting it should be a tea party.

You seem to be far too ready to attack Obama for any and every thing you can distort into a negative.
