I saw this ad, it was awesome. Where I live, we hardly ever get presidential ads out here, since Obama is ahead by 9 to 11 points.
Has McCain come out with any ads that don't attack Obama and only say what he will do as POTUS, like this Obama ad the OP was talking about?

Yes they did,
Its goes along the lines of "more deregulation" and "the fundamentals of the economy are strong".

Are you serious? OMG. No wonder Dino Rossi (running in the WA governors race) wants the ballot, under his name, to read "prefers GOP" instead of "Republican".
Some of them proably still said that up until this weekend. |

Why, because it proves he's incredibly naive?
He doesn't even understand the problems.
Regulating Wall Street might be a good thing, but that isn't going to help the economy, isn't going to create jobs and isn't going to put money in your pocket or food on your table.
Closing Special Interest loopholes might be a good thing, but that isn't going to help the economy, isn't going to create jobs and isn't going to put money in your pocket or food on your table.
His "Energy (snicker) Independence" plan isn't going to help you or the economy either.
From whom do you need energy (snicker) independence?
In 2006, the US produced 4,064,702,000 Megawatt Hours of energy.
49.77% of the energy was produced by coal mined in the US. So putting American coal-miners, American truck drivers and American railroad employees out of work is job creation?
19.68% of the energy was produced by nuclear power plants. So you're gong to put American engineers out of work and call it job creation?
7.23% of the energy was produced by hdro-electric power. Are you going to close the hydro-electric dams and put more American engineers out of work and call it job creation?
1.60% of the energy was produced by oil. All of it in Hawaii, and all of it using American oil.
So, tell us again about Energy (snicker) Independence. |

Your pompous comment (snicker) was soooo smooth (snicker)
I think Obama was referring to our dependence on (snicker) FOREIGN OIL. |

Do NOT argue with Mircea about geo political forces that impact oil and energy.
Do Not

If we reduce the amount of oil we import for gasoline, and switch to natural gas which is much more efficient in vehicles, then invariably our need for as much oil should decrease, our supply should increase and our product cost should decrease. A cheap abundant supply of natural gas helps the plastics industry, and the enormous deposit of oil shale should contribute to this over time. In 2007 39.8% of our energy needs was supplied by petroleum of which 31% went directly to electric energy generating sources. Continued growth in onshore production is expected to limit any large and sustained increases in the natural gas spot price.
Electric-power-sector coal consumption grew by 1.9 percent in 2007. Although first-quarter 2008 electric-power-sector coal consumption grew by about 2 percent compared with first-quarter 2007, slow growth in total electricity consumption is expected to limit growth in sector to just 0.7 percent in 2008. In 2009, a small increase in electricity consumption, combined with projected increases from other generation sources (nuclear, natural gas, hydroelectric, and wind), will lead to a very slight decline in electric-power-sector coal consumption ( U.S. Coal Consumption Growth).
5Includes industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and industrial electricity-only plants.
6Includes commercial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and commercial electricity-only plants.
7Electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. |
