VIDEO: OBAMA CATCHES GAFFE-FEVER

Every high profile political campaign takes on a life of its own, with unforeseen plot lines and subtexts developing. In the case of the senate race in Massachusetts, one of those interesting dynamics is the attention being given to Scott Brown's truck, which is suddenly front and center, in a way not too dissimilar from how Joe the Plumber found the spot light.

Brown is winning this race on the ground and his old truck has been the vehicle to get him from point A to point B. It has nearly 200,000 miles and is quickly becoming a symbol in this campaign.

So Barack Obama hops on Air Force 1 and heads to Massachusetts to campaign for Coakley. While doing so, he calls out Brown's truck, mocking it.

There's a slight problem with that. The truck Obama is mocking was built by the company he owns (GM).



"Everybody can buy a truck." Really? Well, not everyone can fly Air Force 1.

Here is a Scott Brown ad featuring that truck.
