Everybody keeps saying that Obama needs to “start swinging” and “fight back” and “be a badass,” which I don’t really get, since (A) he’s already a badass, and (B) one of the reasons everybody seemed to like him to begin with was that he didn’t stoop to doing that whiny, preachy, false-outraged bullshit that less articulate politicians have to resort to. But to hell with that, I guess. In this ad, floating words that appear to be made out of lasers attack John McCain’s mopey, wrinkly old man face. Watch wrinkly McCain shrink into nothingness under the laser words’ never-ending assault!

I don’t even know where to start with this one.
