The Obama campaign released a new ad Tuesday afternoon.
(CNN) – After a mutually observed cease-fire caused by Hurricane Gustav’s landfall, the McCain and Obama camps are back at it. On the same day that President Bush is set to address the Republican convention via satellite, the Obama campaign released a new television advertisement that attempts to link Bush to Sen. John McCain, who will soon be formally named as the GOP’s nominee. The 30-second spot, “Same” will air on national cable and in battleground states beginning Tuesday. “I voted with the president over 90 percent of the time, higher than a lot of my even Republican colleagues,” McCain says in footage included in the ad. (Full script after the jump)
Script, "Same" ad, 30 seconds ANNCR: They share the same out of touch attitude. The same failure to understand the economy. The same tax cuts for huge corporations and the wealthiest one percent. The same questionable ties to lobbyists. The same plan to spend ten billion a month in Iraq when we should be rebuilding America. McCAIN: I voted with the president over 90 percent of the time, higher than a lot of my even Republican colleagues. ANNCR: We just can’t afford more of the same. OBAMA: I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message. Filed under: Barack Obama John McCain Political ads |
