Post-Debate Attack Ads Launched

Along with every election comes attack ads to persuade voters views. This article was stating that the presidential candidates have been attacking one another after Friday night's debate. McCain's ad was about how Obama isn't ready to lead. Obama had an ad saying that McCain not once said anything about the middle class during the debate on Friday. Throughout the entire debate McCain said a lot about Obama but not a whole lot about the people.

If one thing gets me annoyed during election time it is the constant ads trying to campaign for the presidential candidates. These leaders are bashing one another to make themselves appear as the better person for our country. I realize it is competition but I think the ads can be silly at times. Although I think negatively about the ads, mostly because they are on all the time, they do serve a purpose. They are to sway the people of America into voting a certain candidate. Out of the commercials that came from last night's debate, Obama's would have to be the better of the two candidates. "McCain doesn't get it. Barack Obama does," was what was stated by the announcer in the ad. According to this article all that McCain said was things about Obama rather than about the people who may be electing him to office. I didn't watch the debate but if it is true that McCain never mentioned anything about the middle and working classes, that is a little odd. Being raised and most likely going to be living in the middle class, I would like to hear my possible future president talk about our class and see what kind of things he has in mind for us.
