The first ad is great, as it evokes the elements of Reaganism in imagining America at its best, with the promise of more to come if Obama is elected President.
(I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.) Wonder where John McCain would take the economy? Look... ...behind you. John McCain wants to... ...continue George Bush's economic policies. As President he'd... ...provide no tax breaks to 101 million Americans... ...but keep tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas. He wants $4 billion dollars in new tax breaks for big oil And would tax your health care benefits for the first time ever Look behind you. We can't afford more of the same.
