Sick Joke.

The Republican Party of Texas has produced this little corker. Apparently Obama has been viciously attacking the McCain's "for being successful and living the American Dream."

I thought he was attacking McCain for calling him an "elitist" and trying to pass himself off as a man of the people whilst being quietly so wealthy that he didn't even know how many homes he owned.

And, as for the American Dream, I thought that involved hard work and success, which would exclude the McCain's. She inherited it and he married it.

And, as for the dig regarding Obama's brother, McCain - the man who deserted his disfigured, loyal wife to run off with a much younger woman - is hardly in a position to throw stones regarding family commitments. And that's before we get to Cindy McCain denying that she even has a sister.

I know the Republicans have their backs to the wall at the moment, but that ad is not a defence, that's a sick joke.
