Obama’s celebrity status

Recently there have been ads with McCain comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Obama’s camp has come back and claimed McCain was acting “childish”. Now Michelle Obama is defending her husband, as expected. So what do I make of all this mess? Nothing.

It’s election year, and this is the most important thing in the news at the present time. Sure the Olympics and other news events are big issues; but lets be honest, you should be surprised to turn on the TV and not hear about the upcoming election. So McCain…what exactly are you whining about? Are you upset that Obama is getting TV time? Well if you are, there is something you can do about it: GET SOME TV TIME! YES YOU CAN PAY FOR ADS AND KEEP THEM POSITIVE! As Obama would say, YES YOU CAN!!

The only reason Obama is on the news more than McCain is because Obama is a young, refreshing, and a different type of politician. (Keep in mind that Obama is still a politician, so he is not completely different from the “pack”…but I digress). If McCain wants to gain some TV exposure: he needs to quit complaining about Obama all the time. This is not a game in which you call your mommy because the other kids on the playground are ignoring you. McCain needs to make announcements that are newsworthy and appeal better with the American people. I don’t expect McCain to be empathetic with America, but at least pretend to be. You are a politician, do your job and pretend to care. Only then will people listen to you or wait for you to come on TV.
