Finally! Fighting Words!
We've been waiting for some real fighting words from the Obama camp. Their new ad, "Seven" isn't on par with the McCain/Britney/Paris ad, but it does send a strong attack against McCain.
Right now, the economy is not just an issue. Its THE issue for many Americans.

Hard Times for the Hard-Working
When I was six years old, Bill Clinton became president. At the time, little did I know about George H. W. Bush or the Gulf War. Apparently, public opinion of Bush Sr. was high because of his actions in the Gulf. So if everybody loved his performance, then why didn't he win reelection?
Clinton: "It's the economy, stupid."
A lot of people became more concerned about the economy and so his status during the Gulf War didn't matter at the voting booths.
Clinton had a concrete strategy and he admitted to growing up poor in one of the poorest states in America.
What does this mean for us today? Well, McCain, after forgetting how many houses he owns, is coming under more fire for being out of touch with the economic struggles of many Americans.
The typical Republican response (as I see it) is that every person or family is responsible for their own financial well-being. The government shouldn't help, because individual freedoms reign supreme...meaning the government can't impose restrictions on people's freedoms like social welfare or other economic programs to help people who need it the most.
The video below looks at McCain's houses and his economic policies AND what a normal American is going through right now in the current housing/economic troubles that is hurting a bunch of people:
