The Matthew 25 Network, a faithy political action committee founded by John Kerry's former religious outreach director, will begin airing this pro-family Obama ad during Saturday night's candidate forum with Rick Warren at Saddleback Church:
The Matthew 25 Network describes the ad as entirely positive. And it is. But by broadcasting a squeaky clean family man image for Obama, God-o-Meter suspects that Obama's religious allies are trying to distinguish him from the twice-married McCain.

The God-o-Meter (pronounced Gah-DOM-meter) scientifically measures factors such as rate of God-talk, effectiveness—saying God wants a capital gains tax cut doesn't guarantee a high rating—and other top-secret criteria (Actually, the adjustment criteria are here). Click a candidate's head to get his or her latest God-o-Meter reading and blog post. And check back often. With so much happening on the campaign trail, God-o-Meter is constantly recalibrating!

This ad states that Obama is for his family and for yours. It doesn't say anything about McCain. Nothing has to be read into it. I think your comment about McCain says more about what you feel about him than what the ad says about McCain.
I agree with the commenter above.
Please keep your personal opinion out of the ad. Nobody wants it, nor did anyone ask for it.
