Obama (voiceover): I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message.

[Music] Barney Smith: I'm Barney Smith.  For 31 years I worked at the local RCA plant.  It was a good job -- helped me buy a home and raise a family.  But four years ago, the plant closed and my job was sent to China.

Today RCA still gets a government tax break.  John McCain voted to give tax breaks to companies that export jobs.

That's why I support Barack Obama.  We can't afford more of the same.

It's time for a president who puts Barney Smith before Smith Barney.


 

Notes: Smith spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
