Presidential election is getting nearer and issues regarding the presidentiables are also getting hotter.
McCain issued a hard-hitting negative commercial, slamming his rival's judgement and candor and accusing him of not telling the truth about the extent of his acquaintance with 1960s radical William Ayers.
The Obama camp said the ad was "desperate and dishonest" and an attempt to distract voters from the worsening economic crisis and the McCain campaign's darkening prospects in the November 4 election.
Obama, set to launch a two-day bus tour in Ohio, often a decisive swing-state, also hit back with an ad ridiculing McCain's plan to buy up $300 billion in bad mortgages as a waste of taxpayer money.
McCain trails Obama by widening margins in battleground state polls, in national surveys and even on some reliable Republican turf, and time is fast running out for him to turn the race around.
His latest ad noted that Ayers was part of the activist Weather Underground group and his wife was on the FBI's Most Wanted list, and says Obama has disguised the full scope of their relationship.
"Americans say, 'where's the truth, Barack?' the ad says. "Barack Obama. Too risky for America."
Obama has repeatedly said he is not close to Ayers, an assertion backed up by independent fact checking organizations, but said he served on philanthropic boards with him and lives in the same Chicago neighborhood.
Senior Obama strategist Robert Gibbs Thursday blasted McCain's new ad as a "desperate and dishonest political attack."
"It's meant to cover up that John McCain has virtually no answers for the economic crisis," he said on ABC.
But McCain spokeswoman Nicolle Wallace said the ad asked a deeper question about Obama's character.
"If we can't tell Barack Obama to tell the truth about the guys in his neighborhood, who also happen to be domestic terrorists ... how can we trust him to tell the truth about what he could do as president?"
McCain's relentlessly negative comes after the Republican camp said it wanted to turn the spotlight away from devastating economic news.

US presidentiables are digging up issues and getting deeper in every topics that could lead America to a better country. These presidentiables are all brilliant minded, they only clash on different issues due to their different stands and political platforms but above all this, they still have one common goal and that is to run the American government in good system and to protect its fellow citizens.
