McCain mocks Obama, calling him a "Celebrity"

Republican presidential candidate John McCain sees Barack Obama as more of a celebrity than a leader. In a new TV ad, Obama is painted as a celebrity. This follows an earlier in in which Obama was linked to celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears

"Is the biggest celebrity in the world ready to help your family?" the ad asks, with slow motion images of Obama appearing before an ecstatic crowd. It says an Obama presidency would lead to higher taxes and fewer jobs while McCain would create jobs and energy independence.

The Obama campaign said the ad was misleading, and that Obama would provide more tax cuts than McCain.

Hilton has mocked McCain's for his ads of Obama, calling him a "wrinkly white-haired guy" in an online video in which she jokingly declares her own candidacy and outlines a plan to reduce dependence on foreign oil.

"I want America to know that I'm, like, totally ready to lead," says a swimsuit-clad Hilton in the video, posted earlier this week on the Web site "Funny or Die."
