New McCain ad mocks Barack's Messianic rhetoric

I think this ad - building on the 'Barack Obama, Messiah' material - is very effective. What do you think?

PS David Brooks got to the heart of the issue with Senator Obama last week.  Writing of his Berlin speech:

"When I first heard this sort of radically optimistic speech in Iowa, I have to confess my American soul was stirred. It seemed like the overture for a new yet quintessentially American campaign.  But now it is more than half a year on, and the post-partisanship of Iowa has given way to the post-nationalism of Berlin, and it turns out that the vague overture is the entire symphony. The golden rhetoric impresses less, the evasion of hard choices strikes one more."
