What do you think of McCain comparing Obama to Celebrities?

Barack Obama shoots back today at John McCain in a new TV ad called "Low Road." The spot calls McCain out on what the Obama campaign describes as "false attacks and failed policies" after the Republican candidate compared his opponent's so-called celebrity status to such Hollywood tabloid targets as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. What do you think about McCain comparing Obama to Britney and Paris? Speak out -- and your comments may end up on "The Insider" on TV tonight! 

Obama was diplomatic yesterday when he put the kibosh on McCain's ad, telling MSNBC, "I don't pay attention to what McCain says." When asked about the ad, Obama said, "although I do notice that he doesn't seem to have anything very positive to say about himself, does he?"

  • Obama needs to keep Hollywood in California.
    Too much socializing and not enough doing. He is for the elite, so there goes small town america. America started with the small towns, not big cities. Obama for who, not you.

  • First of all; Barack is not a Muslim. Whoever thinks he is- go educate yourselves. Second of all; not all the Muslims are the same; I am not a Muslim but I am American, and I am not very proud of our country either at times. If McCain becomes our...

  • Experince is the best teacher when it is not your experience. The world is changed for the past 25 years, and if you know anything about this country, you will realize that Barack Obama is the best candidate to lead the country.

  • Grow up and open your eyes. You do not speak for America people and you probably don't know a thing about this country.

  • Barack Obama is a US citizen with a white mother, and we should get over ourselves with the so called race card. Ingorant and unintelligent people waste time on talking about other people's race because they are insecure in themselves.

  • Why is John McCain always attacking Barack Obama? Why can't he tell us what he will do as a president as opposed to attacking Obama and let the people worry about who he or Obama is? There has to be a better standard than this.
