Obama Reacts to McCain Britney Campaign Ad

Barack Obama diplomatically shot back this afternoon at John McCain 's latest campaign ad, which compares the Democrat's "celebrity status" to such Hollywood tabloid targets as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears . "I don't pay attention to what McCain says," Obama told an MSNBC reporter when asked about the ad, "although I do notice that he doesn't seem to have anything very positive to say about himself, does he? He seems to always be talking about me. You need to ask John McCain what he's for, not what he's against." McCain's political ad , entitled "Celeb," opens with brief flashes of Paris and Britney photos before cutting to a montage of large crowds and Obama appearances, with a narrator asking "but is he ready to lead?"
