Notes:
It will be interesting to see how long the "biggest celebrity in the
world" label persists in the coming days (?and weeks and months).
According to the press release...
The ad highlights Barack Obama's support for higher taxes
and increased
government spending that will only put more burdens on America's small
businesses and cost
jobs. While Barack Obama is the biggest celebrity in the world,
that doesn't do much to help American families who are hurting from
higher gas prices and the
threat of home foreclosure. John McCain has proposed an "all of
the above" energy plan -- the Lexington Project -- to produce
more energy here in America, invest in renewable energy, create jobs and achieve energy
independence. The ad
will air in key states.
The Obama campaign responded...
"Is the
biggest proponent of George Bush's tired, failed policies ready to
bring about change? Another day brings another dishonest attack
from John McCain. While Senator McCain knows that Senator Obama
has proposed cutting taxes for 95% of American families, what he's not telling us is that he wants to give $4
billion in tax breaks to the oil companies, continue giving tax breaks
to corporations that ship our job overseas, and provide no direct tax relief for more than 100 million
middle-class families. It's time to retire these old
policies and bring new
energy to America," said Obama campaign
spokesman Bill Burton.
