Grumpy is lying again.



Here's an ad by Obama, offering hope and a new vision for the future. Then here's an ad from the grumpy old serial liar:



The man with nine homes and a wife worth about $100 million says that life is grand for people "in the spotlight" but that "for the rest of us times are tough".

So McCain, a man whose own personal wealth is around $25-$38 million, is putting himself on the side of those not "in the spotlight" for whom "times are tough", and has the gall to put Obama, whose wealth is estimated to be around $1-$2.5 million, on the side of those for whom "life is just grand".

There's negative campaigning and then there's lies that simply border on the ridiculous. McCain is many, many, many times richer than Obama is. He enjoys a life of utter privilege. So for him to cast himself on the side of those for whom "times are tough" is simply an insult to millions of ordinary Americans, especially when he is the one who seeks to increase tax breaks for the rich. In other words, for himself.

And, since when was the Republican Presidential candidate not "in the spotlight"?

The ad is simply ludicrous, but will anyone in the MSM point it out?
