This is pretty much a stereotypical attack ad, all right: Wistful piano music, darkened photographs of the opposing candidate, touches of xenophobia. It's almost surprising that it's an Obama ad.

If you live in Virginia, Florida, or Ohio, your TV is going to just be puking these kinds of ads at you nonstop from now until November. May I suggest you take up reading for the fall? It'll be way less stressful.
