New Radio Ad

This is a pretty damn good new radio ad from the Obama campaign.

Listen here.

Here is the transcript:

MAN: Oh man - he's starting already...

WOMAN: What now, honey?

MAN: John McCain. He's got new ads attacking Barack Obama on taxes.

WOMAN: Well, that's not new. Bush, McCain, Karl Rove - that's how those guys work.

MAN: Oh yeah, but this is shameful. He's just makin' stuff up.

WOMAN: Yeah?

MAN: But get this. Independent sources are putting McCain in his place. I went to FactCheck dot org. They said quote "it's not true."

WOMAN: Huh.

MAN: And look what Time says. Quote, "It makes sense that McCain is returning to the old playbook. But that doesn't mean he can just make up his own facts." End Quote.

WOMAN: Yowza! So what's the truth?

MAN: Obama's plan cuts taxes on the middle class - and won't raise taxes on anybody making less than two hundred fifty thousand a year. But McCain wants billions in new corporate tax breaks...and no way to pay for it.

WOMAN: Hmm. Sounds like George Bush all over again.

MAN: Guess that's why they say: John McCain - McSame as Bush!

WOMAN: Uh-huh.

Voiceover: On taxes, get the facts. Visit BarackObama.com

Obama: I'm Barack Obama, candidate for President, and I approve this message.

It's just a radio ad, probably won't affect the polls much, but it shows that Obama will be willing to hit McCain hard in the coming election. "Makin' stuff up", "McSame as Bush", "George Bush all over again" -- I love it!

Now if we can get some TV ads that are this tough, that would be even better. Whoever thought Obama would be too soft to run against the Republicans was dead wrong.
