Political ad watch: New Obama hit piece
It's all about health care:
The Weekly Standard's John McCormack highlights this ad writing:
"Leaving aside the question of whether or not it's a good idea to mandate coverage for particular procedures, Obama's health care plan goes far beyond requiring coverage for "routine treatments." Following a speech to Planned Parenthood in July 2007, Obama made a controversial pledge to require private insurers to cover abortions.
...
So, during a campaign conference call about health care yesterday, I asked Obama-Biden surrogate Gov. Kathleen Sebelius if Obama's health care plan would mandate coverage for all legal abortions.
"I really don’t know the specifics of that," she replied. An Obama-Biden spokesman told me via email that he'd find an answer to my question. But subsequent emails and phone calls in the past 24 hours from me to Obama-Biden spokesmen have gone unanswered.
Apparently the Obama-Biden campaign doesn't think it needs to provide basic factual information about their candidate's health care plan. Will any one in the mainstream media hold Obama accountable?

I love watching these assholes tear each other apart. First it shows that neither of them have any class whatsoever which befits politicians to a tee. Second, by the time they are done with each other maybe we'll all see what a pair of low life scoundrels they really are.
