Okay...I'll put this on the table. It's not news...I've said it before.

I had concerns about whether Senator Obama was ready to run for President. I thought another term in the Senate would have done him good.

But...

Right now, I'd vote for Obama even if I thought he wasn't ready.

I would vote for almost anyone other than the man who is approving the ads being run by McCain and his water carriers. This latest ad, which seeks to paint Obama as some sort of megalomaniac with a messiah complex is not only in the worst possible taste, cutting and pasting snippets taken out of context so poorly as to appear to be done on someone's home computer (a PC even), it belittles religion, people of faith, and the IDEA that a person can be inspirational or inspired.

At first, I thought it had to be someone else's ad...or a parody. But no...it's right there on McCain's website.

This is disgusting.

I'm the last person to ever say something like "God wants Barack Obama to be President" because it is simply wrong to say and grossly presumptuous. Still, one wonders if the mocking tone (which seems to be trying to be Daily Show-esque) doesn't end up mocking faith more than Obama.

Regardless, in the 'gloves off' land of Presidential politics, this has to be a new low.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on you Senator McCain.
Stick the fork in this campaign.
From my perspective, it's over.
