Obama
for America
"Pennies" |
[Music] Male Announcer: Another
negative ad from Hillary Clinton.
But here’s what she's NOT saying. USA Today calls her
three-month gas tax holiday "political pandering." It’s an
election year-gimmick, saving Hoosiers [that would save Carolinians]
just pennies a day. Barack Obama's plan? Take on price-gouging by oil companies. Tax their windfall profits. Invest in alternative energy. Give working families a permanent, thousand-dollar tax cut to help with rising costs. That's change we can believe in. Obama: I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message. |
| Notes: According to the
press release: Indiana families are feeling pain the pain of high gas prices. The Clinton campaign’s response is a “gas tax holiday” proposal even its own aides say won’t work, a plan they admit helps score political points. Worse yet, the Clinton campaign is attacking U.S. Sen. Barack Obama in a TV ad for refusing to embrace this election-year gimmick. A new 30-second TV spot, “Pennies,” highlights the criticism Hillary Clinton’s gas tax plan has received from policy experts, a proposal described by USA Today as “political pandering.” The spot tells Hoosiers what Obama plans to do to help drive down gas prices and provide relief to consumers over the long term, proposals that include investigating oil companies for price gouging, taxing their windfall profits and giving working families a permanent $1,000 tax cut to help offset rising gas costs. |
