US presidential hopeful John McCain has unveiled a new campaign advert accusing his rival, Barack Obama, of having a Messiah complex.
The parody mockingly compares Obama to Jesus and Moses, opening with the lines "It shall be known that in 2008 the world will be blessed. They will call him The One."
"He can do no wrong," the narrator continues. "Can you see the light?"
The ad features quotes from Obama engaging in lofty rhetoric, including comments like: "I have become a symbol of America returning to our best traditions."
McCain has previously broadcast an ad comparing Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton and mocking his international celebrity status.
