Barack Obama didn’t waste any time responding to Hillary Clinton’s 3:00 AM phone call ad. Here’s his 30-second spot.
Sound Bite: “When that call gets answered, shouldn’t the president be the one — the only one — who had judgment and courage to oppose the Iraq War from the start. Who understood the real threat to America was al-Qaeda in Afghanistan not Iraq.”
Sound Bite: “The question is not about picking up the phone. The question is what kind of judgment will you exercise when you pick up that phone.”
Meanwhile in Waco, Texas, Hillary is still talking about that 3:00 AM phone call: “We need a president who picks up that phone ready to decide.”
Sound Bite: “Senator Obama says if we talk about national security in this campaign, we’re trying to scare people. Well, I don’t think people in Texas scare all that easily.”
Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas has released a new music video supporting Barack Obama. “We Are One” features a host of actors and musicians chanting the chorus “Obama, Obama, Obama” and testifying for their man in English and Spanish. Jessica Alba says she would “like the rest of the world to think highly of our amazing country.” She’d also “like to see a cleaner earth for my child that I’m bringing into the world very soon.” Oh, and a good part.
This 30-second ad says our children can sleep safely at 3:00 AM because Hillary will be awake and answering the crisis phone in the White House. Good grief!

John McCain trips over his words yesterday, referring to himself as a “proud conservative liberal Republican” and promising to conduct a “dispirited” debate with his opponent. Ouch!
