John McCain's campaign has released a new web video mash-up. It's simply Barack Obama, in his own words, all in context. The one minute video is titled "Words." It takes on Obama's most recent public lie.

This is a powerful issue. Obama clearly lied.

Not only for the substance of the promise made and then the lack of substance for it being broken. But because it gives complete legitimacy to Obama's critics. "You can't trust Barack. He's simply another politician. Untested and too slick."

When Obama himself breaks such a public promise for mere political purposes, you can't call his critics racist for calling him on it. Well, I guess you can (and many may), but it won't stick.

This video is a smart move on McCain's part. McCain has to hold Obama accountable directly because the mainstream news media will not.
