SPRINGFIELD, Mo. ... The ad opens by touting Obama's recent endorsements from investor Warren Buffett and former Secretary of State Colin Powell, then cuts to video of Cheney from an event Saturday in Wyoming.

"I'm delighted to support John McCain," Cheney says. "I'm pleased that he's chosen a running mate with executive talent, toughness and common sense, our next vice president Sarah Palin" ...

Obama's campaign said the 30-second spot would run nationally on cable channels.

[RBInMaine]

2. BEAUTIFUL !! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL !! Thanks Dick Cheney !! Run this until the polls close EVERYWHERE !

[Herman74]

35. First Word that Came to my Mind was also "Beautiful"...

[Snazzy]

[Dystopian]

4. Love it!

5. Can't wait to see it

Yesterday when I saw that Cheney endorsed, I thought, "Oh, Dick's decided to get involved and help ensure McCain loses."

I can't believe Cheney likes McCain. I think the neocons don't really want McCain to win so they can blame everything on Obama and make an all-out effort in 2012. Then I think they flip flop (scared about the Dems getting the 60 Senate seats) and try...

15. Maybe he's decided Bible Spice will be his next puppet.

She's got all the qualifications that made Bush so easy to manipulate:

1) A simpleton-- check
2) Massive ego-- check
3) On 'a mission from God'-- check
4) Loves the trappings of power but the actual work, not so much-- check
5) Whips the base into homicidal frenzy-- check


She's PERFECT and I'm betting his endorsement was his way of cozying up to Miss Wasilla.

:puke:

27. Good point. Sounds likely. n/t

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

39. The Dick and Sarah duet...

Here We Go A Wassailing. :)

[Gman]

6. Someone with a 9% approval rating

endorses his would-be successor. Brilliant.

[MaineDem]

7. Wicked awesome!

I love it. Someone is really earning his/her salary.

[SpiralHawk]

9. "Sneer." - VP Dickie 'Five Military Deferments' Cheney (R)

Republicons love them their chickenhawk draft dodgers -- a real republicon hero.

[saigon68]

40. Definitely the KING of the draft dodgers

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

10. Did Cheney not watch that SNL skit of bush endorsing McClown??? Seriously. nt

[Kolesar]

11. The music with the plucked strings is perfect

Campaign commercials have really improved in the last ten years.

[shireen]

13. i thought the same!

that music was priceless!
:rofl:

[beac]

18. I do believe that was a riff on...

the STAR WARS theme! :rofl: Subliminal allusion to Darth Cheney??? :rofl:

[hedgehog]

23. Someone is having real fun with the music on the last few ads.

[radfringe]

12. BLAM! BANG! BANG!

mccain didn't get a shot in the arm with that endorsement... it was a shot in the face

cheney bags another one... :rofl:

[happygoluckytoyou]

14. WHAT A DICK (cheney's official porn star name)

[JTFrog]

17. I thought his porn name was Big Time... oh wait, that's Georgie's porn name for him... n/t

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

31. Had to.

[JTFrog]

16. I've read some freeper responses such as "I thought Obama wasn't going to do negative ads"

My only reply is:

I understand why Democrats and Independents would feel that an endorsement from Dick Cheney for the Republican ticket is a negative thing, but why do YOU see it that way?

Maybe they aren't as ready for four more years as they think.

[LiberalFighter]

28. Hmmm They think that it is negative for Cheney to endorse McCain?

Someone should also point out that it is Cheney that made it negative by endorsing McCain if they think Cheney's endorsement is a negative.

[LiberalFighter]

29. Now if the ad had the Cheney shooting his friend...

and Palin shooting off the rifle. THAT might be a negative ad.

[KillCapitalism]

19. That's awesome!

The Dick is the kiss of death, even moreso than Bush.

[yardwork]

20. "And that's......not the change we need." Brilliant! LOL!

[Miss Chybil]

21. LOL! Good one. nt

[JDwho]

22. Just when you think the McCain campaign just can't make the situation worse...

they allow an endorsement from pure evil.
I hope they run this non-stop until the polls have closed.

A brighter day is coming!!!

[LynnTheDem]

26. "common sense" ...Sarah Palin'???!

:wow: :wow: :wow:

[eagertolearn]

30. That is great! The music really contrasts to the repugs

adds that have that scary "we are all doomed" music. I'm starting to let the fog lift though I am so worried about Obama. He will be the best president ever!

[Maestro]

32. Great Ad!

I wonder why the GOP even let Darth out of his lair. :shrug: :rofl:

[Kalifornia.Kid]

34. Where can I rent a sound truck ASAP - I'll drive it all over the place

Woo Hoo - Big Dick on the loudspeakers blaring out the message about HIS man, McCain.

What a freakin' gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[az chela]

36. WOW an endorsement from a war criminal and murderer

that says a lot

[Jack Rabbit]

37. Does this qualify as guilt by assosciation?

[LisaL]

42. No.

[Dem2theMax]

38. I like that ad so much, I'm going to donate to Obama again.

Just to help him get the ad on the airwaves. I wouldn't want the repukes to miss it. :evilgrin:

[DeltaLitProf]

41. This may be the counter for the Rev. Wright ads that we need

It's certainly a case of David Axelrod and crew going for the throat. It's going to run "nationally on cable channels." Music to my ears.

[EFerrari]

43. LOL!

:applause:
