Barack Obama "The One" in McCain Ad

Though I hate to give it more hits, check this out

That would be John McCain (clever YouTubers call him "John McSame") referring to Barack Obama as "The One."

First thoughts: This ad is confusing. The final words are, "He may be the one, but is he ready to lead?" Hell yes, I thought. Isn't that what "The One" does?

Second thoughts: This ad is freaking racist. From :16 to :21 the ad is black people getting excited. (oh no! watch out!) The narrator follows this with "to quote Barack..." To quote Barack? Is the narrator a friend of his? I don't recall other political ads, "To quote John (McCain)" or even "To quote Bill (Clinton)." If that's not racist, it is at least very disrespectful.

Third thoughts: This ad is not funny in the way it's intended to be funny. I can see Republicans saying, "lighten up, it's funny!" In fact, I just read that in a comment. Now I know that I can predict the future.

See what I did there? Said something remotely funny due to its absurdity. That's the type of humor this ad is going for: "People who like Obama think he will save the world. How absurd, right?"

Well, if it were true, then yes, it might be absurd. However, I know zero Obama supporters who believe this. The ad is only funny in this way to Republicans who believe Obama supporters are mindless zealots.

Last thoughts: The ad IS funny because it's so over-the-top, confusing, borderline-racist, and bitter. It shows that Republicans are getting desperate, and really hate Obama...because he inspires people.

On second thought, there's nothing funny about that.

Please watch Obama's response to these ads (including McCain's "Celeb" ad):
