You wanted it - well you GOT IT!

Hot off the Presses: Barack ATTACKS McSame's brand, head-on.

*

UPDATED Twice: at the bottom of the diary.

*

That's RIGHT - He's BAAAAAAD!!

*

Booooooo YAH!!!

You wanted it - well you GOT IT!

Barack just released an ad smacking McSame on gas, Bush's 3rd term, and being a errand boy of Big Oil.

Here's part of the text

Every time you fill your tank, the oil companies fill their pockets.

Now big oil is filling John McCain campaign with $2 million in contributions. [POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!]

Because instead of taxes their windfall profits, McCain wants to give them more tax breaks.     [OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH!!]

             

"Truely, an awe inspiring moment seeing 200,000 Berliners waving American flags," Andrea Mitchell.

MSNBC, July 26, 2006.

WHAT A WAY TO CAP THE WEEK

The latest Gallup Daily Tracking poll has just rolled out, and Barack has increased his lead for the third straight day, stretching his lead to 49% - 40%. (Source)

Look at those trends!!

Looks like McSame is right - The Surge IS working!

BWHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!  Oh, my ribs.

As Barack trends up, McSame tumbles down.

Really, all that ranting and raving only made him intensely unlikeable.

► The Candy Store is now Open. [UPDATED at the bottom of the fold]

2. The Troops adore him - the Generals adore him.

3. Iraq's endorsement of Obama's 16 month timeline got good play on today's mornings shows.  

4. McSame got hammered on the Today Show, GMA, and MSNBC compared him to Heath Ledger's The Joker!!

I hope the Senate has a good dental plan, cuz Baracky just knocked out McSame's teeth.   Look!  McSame is on the canvas - searching for his missing molars.

"Today, John McCain is holding a fundraiser with George Bush, behind closed doors, in Arizona."

"No cameras!"

"No reporters!"

"And we all know why!"

"Senator McCain doesn’t want to be seen, hat-in-hand, with the President, whose failed policies he promises to continue for another four years," [at this point, the audience roared with laughter!!].

► Obama's stem winder even left the news anchor breathless: - "Wow!  We just heard quite a speech from Barack Obama," [emphasis original].

► THIS JUST IN: The White House announced a photo of Shrub and McSame will be released, but get this, only after the Nightly newscasts have concluded!  Talk 'bout embarrassed to be Republican!

Come inside and watch and see Barack's emotional and soaring tribute to Ted Kennedy.

► UPDATE: 10 in all and 8 more below the fold
