McCain hails Obama as ‘a celebrity’

McCain hails Obama as ‘a celebrity’

WASHINGTON – Republican presidential candidate John McCain isn’t letting Paris Hilton distract him from his new line of attack – that Barack Obama is more of a celebrity than a leader.

McCain yesterday released a second television ad that paints Obama as a celebrity, following an earlier ad that linked his Democratic rival in the November election to tabloid staples like Hilton and Britney Spears. The new ad avoids any mention of Hilton or other Hollywood types, but covers similar ground.”Is the biggest celebrity in the world ready to help your family?” the ad asks, over ominous music and slow motion images of Obama appearing before an ecstatic crowd.It says an Obama presidency would lead to higher taxes and fewer jobs while McCain would create jobs and energy independence.The Obama campaign called the ad misleading and said Obama would provide tax cuts for a greater proportion of Americans than McCain.McCain’s first ad was released last week.McCain staffers believe the approach has helped them wrest control of the news agenda after weeks in which Obama dominated media coverage.Nampa-ReutersThe new ad avoids any mention of Hilton or other Hollywood types, but covers similar ground.”Is the biggest celebrity in the world ready to help your family?” the ad asks, over ominous music and slow motion images of Obama appearing before an ecstatic crowd.It says an Obama presidency would lead to higher taxes and fewer jobs while McCain would create jobs and energy independence.The Obama campaign called the ad misleading and said Obama would provide tax cuts for a greater proportion of Americans than McCain.McCain’s first ad was released last week.McCain staffers believe the approach has helped them wrest control of the news agenda after weeks in which Obama dominated media coverage.Nampa-Reuters
