Obama's "No Maverick" Self-Sabotage Ad

Just got a good laugh out of Ed Morrissey's latest post on Hot Air. Either Obama is a hypocrite, a moron, completely devoid of self-awareness or just plain rattled by the Palinmania. It's like he's subliminally trying to lose through his ad campaign. What else explains why he'd give his opponents the ammo they need to blow his Presidential aspirations to smithereens?
