Call me way over the top

.... because I probably am being that way, but here's my gut reaction to this McCain ad about Obama.

First, I think they're using the old trick of making Obama's skin tone look darker.  Second, the photo of Obama at the start, where he's looking up and to the side, forehead wrinkled, reminded me of someone.  This person is often pictured with that expression on his face.

Since he's in the news these days, if there's an attempt at subliminal (or not-so-subliminal) tweaking, that sort of stinks.  But I'd put nothing past the Rovians.

You're way over the top. :) But it is pretty funny.
