This ad by a Texas Republican, show one thing about the present state of the Presidential race.
In the words of a female Fox news commentator,
"It's gettin' nasty."
How far down the slimy road of attack ads are these two candidates going to take us?

Are you saying that you would rather NOT have known this about Obama?

I think this quote by Pres. Harry ('give 'em hell, Harry') Truman applies to this campaign.

The only reason an ad like the one you've posted can be considered nasty is because it is a nasty TRUTH that I'm sure Obama would rather not be known.

Especially when Obama wants to start a Global welfare program to the tune of $845 Billion and he hasn't mentioned it at all in his campaigning.

Why?

He's deceitful.

Here he wants to do for the poor people of the world what the Democrats did for the poor people of America...make them dependent on us and worse.

I'm surprised you have bought in to this Obama hate stuff. I just watched an interview with Obama's brother. They as close as two distant cousins. His brother doesn't feel Obama owes him anything. He doesn't think he is poor. He is a proud person. But the right is so sick that they create shit where there isn't any shit. They get involved with Obama's family for a few minutes and they already want to start shit. They barely know one another but the judgmental right has made a moral judgment on other peoples lives. They always do. They refuse self examination however.

Sean Hannity said if he can get Obama's brother's address he will send him $1,000! That's more than 2½ years income @ $1/day.

Barack Obama has spent decades aiding and abetting people who hate America.

Senator McCain has not spent decades aiding and abetting people who hate America.

Obama loves America McCain loves America. I am sure they have for decades. As far as Hannity goes. If he is so concerned why hasn't he helped these Africans before Obama was running? Could it be politics? Do you suppose Hannity will really send the money? Do you think he will continue from now on? I just watched a real reporter interview him. Real reporters don't have trouble finding the guy. But then Hannity is a propagandist not a reporter. Thats a republican. All show. No go. How do you know the average wage? Did Hannity tell you that too. Please find your own stories. If I wanted to shoot down Hannity crap I would E-mail the show.

This guy makes a dollar a day and lives in a hut while people walk through the streets with machetes...

Meanwhile, some right here in America can't pay for all of the minutes in their family cellphone plan, little Susie will be going to school with a regular purse instead of a Prada bag, the Hummer parked outside only has half of a tank, and the payments are getting higher on their re-re-re-finance of their own home which they brought at $100,000 higher than their salary structure...

But who's the one who doesn't think he's poor?...

So how much did you send his brother? Do you locate every distant relative you have and offer them money. But those are the standards you now apply to Obama. Why don't you just say that you don't like him. It isn't necessary to stick your nose in to his family affairs to admit that you are just trying to find reasons. I he and his brother are happy with the situation who are you to interfere? I didnt see the right screaming about poor Africans until this one story. Isn't that a sad reflection on your party. What has the right led in when it comes to Africa? Nothing at all. So this phoney concern about the plight of Baracks brother is as phoney as anything the right has done. If you guys had a track record of helping poor Africans you might have some grounds to try to make a case. But you don't. So I am happy that you and Hannity are going to support the Obama African strain. I'll be watching for the reports of the assistance. With all of that money you guys are sending you should just let him move in with you. He is Muslin though. So I can see where that would be a problem for Hannity. He just wants to support that one Muslim.

I said no thing about Obama...

I was simply stating how certain people in America, with one of the richest environments and cultures, cry "poor" at every turn, while Obama's brother, who would be considered "poor" in every sense of the word, doesn't even consider that for himself...

It was a complement to Obama's brother's outlook on life and and the miserable attitude of some right here in America who whine when they can ONLY afford a 6-cylinder car when they wanted a V8...

It said nothing about Obama, and you're kneejerk reaction to defend someone I didn't even mention let alone attack just told me a lot...

What did this mean? But who's the one who doesn't think he's poor?...If it was simply a comment on relativity I apologize.

Why not ask someone why they don't like Obama and not just assume that the dislike came first and without good, rational reasons?

One of the reasons people are screaming about this poor African is because of the irony.

Obama wants to raise $845 Billion in taxes, over and above what foreign aid we already pay to the poor of the world, to help cut global poverty, but he won't pay $365 a year to double his brother's standard of living.

If I was a moderator I would be less concerned with what Sean Hannity is or isn't doing for Obama's neglected and poverty stricken brother in Africa and instead spend more time getting my facts right.
