UPDATE: New Obama ad hits McCain on economy
By David DeWitt, PolitickerOH.com ReporterA new TV ad from the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) hits opponent Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on the economic issue.
The ad, called, "Book," is slated to begin airing Thursday in sixteen states including Ohio.
McCain spokesperson Tucker Bounds responded to the ads.
"In the Senate, Barack Obama has voted in lockstep with President George W. Bush nearly half the time, including the Bush-Cheney Energy bill which gave close to 3 billion dollars in new giveaways to Big Oil - a terrible policy that John McCain opposed," Bounds said. "The truth is Barack Obama's plan is a job killing machine that ignores the struggling economy and raises taxes on family savings, social security and small businesses."
