Obama’s right on McCain’s trail. Following McCain’s campaign video portraying the Illinois senator as a beloved celebrity, Obama fired back in his own campaign video labeling McCain as an embraced celebrity. Entitled “Embrace,” the latest advertisement accuses the Republican rival of being a celebrity in Washington. McCain’s campaign compares Obama to Paris Hilton, who’s more famous for nothing than for any real accomplishment. In Obama’s campaign, McCain is shown during a Saturday Night Live appearance. It also suggests that McCain is still a political maverick. Footage shows the Arizona Republican hob-knobbing with fellow lobbyists, aids and Mr. Bush himself. Who knew the term “celebrity” could be so offending?
