With an open that notes Obama's recent endorsements from former Secretary of State Colin Powell and fabled investor Warren Buffet, the ad then cuts to Cheney at a campaign event Saturday in Wyoming. His home state, one of the dwindling number in the safely Republican column. In the footage, Cheney says:
I'm delighted to support John McCain. I'm pleased that he's chosen a running mate with executive talent, toughness and common sense, our next vice president Sarah Palin.
It's kind of unusual for a presidential campaign to target the other side for having the support of its team. But Cheney and President Bush both are down in public opinion polls so the Obama campaign elected to use the footage to underscore its theme that McCain's policies would result in a third Bush term.
Noting McCain's support for the White House "90% of the time," the ad concludes, "That's not the change we need."

I'm actually getting excited. I can hardly wait to hear Obama's acceptance speech! This is a terrific ad. I heard someone refer to Cheney as skeletor. That slays me! It was nice to see he's still breathing though. It's been a while since he's made any public appearances. Now he can go back to his bed.

An explanation point of an ad. If those that can not see
by this day the fascist pigs that have ruined our country, I feel their demise is at hand. - 3 years ago

Well we all know that John McCain is nothing more than a Bush clone. And Palin is so power hungary she cant wait for him to croak so she can take over the throne. And crown herself Queen of the world.
