Video: John McCain Congratulates Obama in New Ad

by John Little on 28/08/2008

In a classy move McCain calls a truce of sorts:

John McCain is airing a one-evening-only ad with a simple message for Barack Obama: “Job well done.” The ad coincides with Obama’s nomination acceptance speech.

McCain congratulates Obama for his nomination. McCain recognizes the symbolism of a black man accepting the nomination on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. The ad will run Thursday on national cable television before and after Obama’s address.

It’s a moment worthy of recognition even if Obama is not the right man for the job.
