Presidential Commercials

This time of year, with the elections right around the corner, we are seeing all kinds of ads on television putting down the presidential candidates. Personally...I really don't see the point of these commercials. Half the time it doesn't seem that they are even factual...let alone relevant. I for one, want to hear the facts about each opponent...not the put-downs and comments they have to say about one another. It seems I hear a great deal more of this coming from Obama and his party so far and I just wish that it would cease.
