McCain campaign an embarrassment to this retired military officer

The recent McCain campaign ads are an insult to the intelligence of the American voter. When our military personnel are dying in foreign wars, McCain dares to raise Paris Hilton and Britney Spears to the level of a national political debate. With the U.S. housing market in collapse and the country facing an energy emergency, McCain wants to know if Obama is black enough and jokes about tire inflation. When your 85-year-old mother loses her General Motors health benefits because GM can't sell cars, you want to hear about health care solutions and economic realities, not McCain's juvenile critique of Obama's European trip.
