McCain Campaign's Latest "Web Video": He Forgot Latin America!!!!!
First of all, kudos to whichever DUer went WAY underground and got hired as McC's proof reader. You cracked me up with this, um, "sentence":

"...The web video points out what was missing from Barack Obama's speech in Berlin as a citizen of the world any mention of a city or country in Latin America."

Huh? (And nice touch messing up the tense in "I'm John McCain and I approve this message".)

http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/News/PressReleases/Read.aspx?guid=98ea74be-42cd-4e65-8837-e24b06126534

It seems that in his Berlin speech, Barack didn't list all 195 countries in the world. And when, a week later the Republicans suddenly noticed, you know there was only one thing that they could do. Launch a divisive attack! In a lame ass video!

I'm not even sure Obama remembered Poland. He for sure didn't mention puppies and they're probably pissed too.

But really, is that it?

IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT, Senator McCain?

2. If people vote for McCain based on his stupid ads,
then this country deserves to go to hell in a handbasket.

5. Are they suggesting all Latinos listen to that kind of music?
It came across as pandering to the Latinos to me. Like someone going to Mexico and speaking bad Spanish while patting the locals on the back thinking they fit right in.

10. Did he mention Canada?
I think the idea was to name countries in other parts of the world and not those located in the Americas. And if you are a Latin American entitled to vote, you also are a citizen of the United States. You were mentioned.

Geesh, what idiots john mccain and his crew are and d*ckwads to boot.
