Just wait until she turns 35. She might nominate Elle Wood for the Vice President position.

1. Obama was not a presidential candidate at this time.
2. Obama did not take a donor´s money to use donor´s family for political in negative way.
3. McCain should use donor´s money to focus his country to improve if he want to become president instead of use donor´s money to negative donor´s families to Obama.
4. Sure, McCain and Obama have their faults in the past before they both annonnce their presidential candidate. They are human beings.
5. The fact that obama said this was at three years ago when he wasn't running for president but mccain did it at week ago with paris' mom's money.
6. Obama was simple spoke of his exposure, not compare himself to Paris.
7. What Obama and McCain use Paris´s name in different way. Obama joked about his popularity at his interview and McCain use Paris´s name with Paris´s famliy money to negative Obama on CAMPAIGN commercial on NATIONAL TV. This is a simple difference.
8. McCain did the worst because the Hilton family are contributors to the McCain campaign.
9. Obama made a joke about himself three years ago and so it makes McCain's ad okay? No.
10. The Hilton family donated money. John McCain's campaign shouldn't have used Paris Hilton.
This is a simple difference.
He does compare himself to Paris Hilton since they share the same exposure of the media. It is called off-color humor comparison. It reminds me of Obama's Paris Hilton remark and others saying Paris Hilton remarks. The US media has been obsessed with Paris Hilton. Americans often love to use Paris Hilton daily as an example in any way. Ugly, Bad and good. Talking about Paris Hilton remarks is extremely popular in the US since Paris Hilton was introduced to the American culture. Naturally, she is an entrepreneur and makes fortune off her appearance, her name, sex sell, and scandals.
Ironcially, she did support Vote or Die campaign and confessed she didn't vote.

Actually, my point is: Obama did not use donor's money to compare donor's daughter with himself but use Paris Hilton's name to boost his popularity as a joke at 3 years ago. This is a difference. Nobody are interest about Obama's joke of 3 years ago but McCain's negative ad with donor's money of last week.
I'm sure that you know that Obama is not only one who use Paris Hilton's name as a joke. Many people did like that...
If McCain want to use Paris Hilton's name as a joke then don't take money from donor to create ad expose against Obama. Isn't it hard?
Yes I know Paris's reputation, it doesn't count me but my point is: use donor's money to negative donor's children to attack Obama is wrong. Paris's mother has the right to speak out what she thought about McCain's negative ad because it's her money.

Opinion: Hilton Hit the Mark with Anti-McCain Spoof
Celebrity heiresses aren't usually worth listening to. But DW's Jefferson Chase says Paris Hilton's parodic defense of Barack Obama's Berlin speech effectively skewered the xenophobia of John McCain's attack ads.
It's no accident that Hilton's tongue-in-cheek video, which dominated the Internet on Wednesday, August 6, starts with a crowd shot from Barack Obama's July speech in front of Berlin's Victory Column.
That's precisely the way the McCain campaign began its own anti-Obama advertisement entitled "Celebrity," following it up with brief images of Britney Spears and Hilton herself.
The somewhat muddled message was that, by having the audacity to speak to 200,000 people in a major world city in a country closely allied with the US, the Democratic candidate was descending to the level of a tabloid celebrity.
Any time anyone in Europe takes an interest in a US election, so the implicit logic, something must be deeply fishy and anti-American.
What a change from the go-it-alone stance of the Bush administration, which led to such cost-efficient and confidence-building global solutions as the Iraq War.
Bildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Hilton didn't have any problems with this white-haired dude...
And what an example of consistency from the Republican Party, whose modern-day hero, Ronald Reagan, began his political career as a foreign-policy expert…um, wait…a celebrity.
But the "wrinkly white-haired guy" -- as Hilton, channeling the gut feelings of millions of Americans under the age of 50, called the presumptive Republican nominee -- didn't count on his celebrity adversary fighting back.
Her video matches McCain's image for image, showing pictures of TV retirees the Golden Girls, fawning CNN interviewer Larry King and Colonel Sanders, the white-bearded mascot of the Kentucky Fried Chicken food chain.
A portentous off-screen voice intones "He's the oldest celebrity in the world," then asks: "But is he ready to lead?"
The point, an entirely valid one, is that as the world's most famous politician an American president is by definition a celebrity. Indeed, the ability to manage fame is part of the job.
Hilton's subsequent assurance that she is "like totally ready to lead," while thumbing through a travel magazine in search of the best place to improve her tan, is also on the money.
After all, what can any rational person hope to learn about a candidate's inner readiness to lead a country like the US from a medium as surface-oriented as TV?
Bildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: ...this one, however, rubbed her the wrong way
All one can reasonably glean from television ads are a few indications of the candidates' positions -- and of the depths to which their campaigns are willing to sink to win the election.
In McCain's case, the latter include playing on a primitive suspicion and ignorance of Europe that post-Bush America would do well to discard.
Hilton, whose previous most popular performance in an Internet video came in a badly lit home-porn movie, seems to understand this, as her obvious preference for the "guy who wants change" over the "white-haired dude" indicates.
By wearing her heart on her sleeve, instead of having sex for the camera, the celebrity heiress has finally made something worth watching.
And made the self-proclaimed serious, experienced candidate John McCain look pretty foolish.

Unfortunlately yes, it make McCain look fool himself.

Obama criticizes 'Celeb' ad, McCain 'proud' of it
Obama criticizes 'Celeb' ad, McCain 'proud' of it
(CNN) — The attacks and counter attacks in the presidential campaign are getting more personal.
Barack Obama today dismissed as "game playing" the McCain campaign's new attack ad comparing Obama's celebrity to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. At a town hall rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Obama taunted McCain, "I do have to ask my opponent: Is that the best you can come up with?"
When the subject came up at a McCain town hall rally in Racine, Wisconsin, McCain told a questioner, "We're proud of that commercial," and added, "campaigns are tough."
WATCH: Viewers react to McCain's "Celeb" ad
But Obama told the Iowa crowd: "Given the seriousness of the issues; given the fact that the decisions we make right now are going to help determine the future not just of the next generation but perhaps generations after that; given the magnitude of our challenges when it comes to energy and health care and jobs and our foreign policy; you'd think we'd been having a serious debate. But so far all we've been hearing about is Paris Hilton and Britney Spears."
For more on the the latest political news, tune into Campbell Brown: Election Center tonight at 8 pm ET.
To the crowd's delight, Obama then asked, "Is that really what this election's about? Is that what is worthy of the American people?" Obama continued, "Even the media has pointed out that Senator John McCain, who started off talking about running an honorable campaign, has fallen back into the predictable political attacks, the demonstrably false statements. Obama told the crowd, "I'm not interested into getting into a tit-for-tat. These negative ads, these negative attacks, spending all this time talking about me instead of talking about what he's going to do, that's not going to lower your gas prices… It's politics as a game. But the time for game-playing is over."
A young African-American woman in the crowd at McCain's town hall meeting in Racine, Wisconsin pointed out that earlier in the campaign, he said he didn't want to engage in mudslinging. Referring specifically to the Britney-Paris-Obama ad, she asked McCain if he had "flip-flopped."
McCain pointed out that he regularly speaks about how he admires Obama's accomplishments. But he added, "Let me say there are differences and we are drawing those differences… what we are talking about here is substance and not style." McCain told the woman, "Campaigns are tough but I'm proud of the campaign we have run, I'm proud of the issues we are trying to address with the American people…. All I can say is that we're proud of that commercial."

I personally really don´t care about Paris Hilton and feel sorry for Britney Spears and also don´t care about jokes but my point is: Paris´s mother and family Hilton because they support McCain with money.
See my reply at other thread in the debate section.
Well the donation to the presidential candidates are always available for support, so what's wrong with it?

Yes, donation to the presidental suppose for focus for country... Accord the article, I posted in first thread that Paris´s mother is upset because she as donor expect McCain use donation to focus the country, not waste her money to use Paris and Brittany to compare with Obama on negative ed.
Ohh I got it.. Wow, I would agree with their families, it's a waste of money to use Paris and Britney's names against Obama..
To me, that's sorta of immature :roll: No offensive.

Yes, that´s what I said in other thread today that McCain is not bright man. His intelligence shows itself is an immaturity and childish when he kept on negative about Obama more and more since Obama´s oversea trip and accused Obama over his intelligence. He use donor´s money to badmouth about Obama instead of talk positive about country... I notice a little about his positive talk about country.
I agree with you, and I do find that oddly that there are alot of people support him
