It's a no-brainer as political ads go, but the Republican National Committee today -- Barack Obama's first full day as the presumptive Democratic nominee -- released a web video compilation of Democratic rivals questioning his readiness to be president.

Titled “Democrats vs. Obama,” the video highlights Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Joe Biden, and former president Bill Clinton raising questions about Obama's lack of experience during primary season debates and press conferences. Hillary Clinton is shown saying that she and presumptive Republican nominee John McCain are prepared to be commander-in-chief -- and suggesting Obama is not.

"Not ready to be commander-in-chief," it says on screen at the close.

Look for the Democratic National Committee to soon issue a video or TV ad of its own with Republican rivals criticizing McCain during the primary campaign.
