Remember that Paris/Britney/Obama ad released by the McCain campaign yesterday? Well, this may come as a shock to some of you, but according to FactCheck.org, it contained some misleading information. The non-partisan fact-checking Website from University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School of Public Policy went right to work, and released an analysis of the ad late yesterday. Specifically, the report takes issue with the ad’s claim that Sen. Barack Obama “says he’ll raise taxes on electricity.” The McCain campaign sent out a fact sheet to reporters that cited a quote from a Feb. 19 interview with Carlos Guerra of the San Antonio Express-News as the sole source for the claim. The problem? The quote was taken completely out of context, and Obama didn’t say he wants to raise taxes on electricity. From FactCheck.org:
Obama does in fact say, “What we ought to tax is dirty energy, like coal and, to a lesser extent, natural gas.” But that quote is out of context. Obama and Guerra are discussing possible ways to fund education. Here’s the pertinent passage, in full:
Guerra: Have you considered other funding sources, say taxing emerging energy forms, for example, say a penny per kilowatt hour on wind energy?
Obama: Well, that

Today, McCain’s people are saying that Obama has “played the race card.” Excuse me, but are we to believe it is an accident that McCain’s “frivolous and irresponsible” Hollywood celebrity implication connects a black man with a couple of blond women? Like, oh, I dunno, those other frivolous and irresponsible Hollywood folks, OJ and Nicole?
The racist undertone of the McCain ad certainly should be considered.

Dear American Citizens and the Press
As a concerned citizen, I consider it is my duty to bring following message to you all.
“We the citizens of the United States of America have the ultimate responsibility to elect the ” Right Candidate” to lead our nation, out of our huge present and future internal and external challenges as well as opportunities. This is to prevent depression and isolation in-spite of being the only superpower in the world morally, democratically, economically, and militarily.
We need to consider the “critical qualities and characteristics” of our presumptive presidential nominees at the time we vote.
In my personal and professional opinion the critical considerations are as under:
1. Calm, cool, and collected ” temper ” [ Presidential Temperament ].
2. Sound and sustained “Judgment and Caliber”.
3. “Thought-fullness and togetherness” of purpose and positions.
4. Minimum “ex-poser and exploitation” around “Washington and Washington insiders”.
5. Renewed ” Vigor and Vision ” for our Greatgrand Nation.
6. Foreign policy based on ” American Values, Virtuous, Vastness”.
Stay informed, stay involved, and stay engaged. Do not allow some partisan media, pundits, pollsters, and perpetual political opinion makers effect your vote in the wrong direction.
Don’t be effected and duped by “Psychological Terrorism” that is directed at common American people without their full consent and awareness.
Long live U.S.A and its diverse but democratic people.
