Notes: Obama campaign response...

“If John McCain wants to quote Hillary Clinton’s 3 AM ads, he should go right ahead, because Senator Clinton made it clear that it’s John McCain who isn’t ready to be President. Hillary Clinton was right: John McCain has no plan to protect our homes or create jobs, and that spells even more pain for American families. Barack Obama will give middle class families a tax cut and an emergency energy rebate, and he’ll invest in a green energy economy to create jobs and break our dependence on foreign oil. John McCain won’t,” Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor.
