Compare and contrast. On the same day that Hillary released her new ad asking who you want in the White House when the red phone rings and your kids are safely sleeping, Obama comes out with this spot, featuring retired General Merrill McPeak, who served during Desert Storm.

The spot seeks to argue that "judgment" is what's crucial in national security crisis situations, quoting McPeak as follows: "Lives depended on the judgments I made. And judgment is what we need from our next commander in chief."

McPeak recently created a bit of trouble for the Obama campaign when he referred to Hillary's infamous Tears Moment by saying that Obama "doesn't go on television and have crying fits." He later retracted the remarks and the Obama camp dissociated itself from them.

Late Update: I should have clarified that the Obama campaign has run this spot before.
