And since I figured you’d want to cringe too, I’ve included it for your perusal. Perhaps the most cringeworthy portion of the advertisement is when the commercial’s narrator asks, “Who can you thank for rising prices at the pump?”, while a picture of Barack Obama flashes on the screen and the familiar “Obama-Obama-Obama” chants fill the background audio. Running a close second in cringeworthiness is the second portion of the ad, where we are apparently supposed to see the light that is candidate McCain…but I don’t want to spoil the whole thing for you.

Maybe Obama should come out with an ad blaming McCain for global warming.
