Obama slams McCain Campaign and its lobbyist connections for causing job losses of 8,000 in Ohio.

Here is the script:

Woman: If DHL, if something happens, it’s going to be like a ghost town.
Man: I thought I was doing a good job providing for my family. And then to have that taken away….
Announcer: In Washington, John McCain helped pave the way for foreign-owned DHL to take over an American shipping company.
McCain’s campaign manager was lead lobbyist for the deal. Now, thousands of Ohio jobs at risk.
Man: It’s tough times, when it’s a foreign entity coming in and sucker punching us. That’s how this felt.
Obama: I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message.

More after the jump...

There is no video up yet when it becomes available I will post. Also, the location and size of the buy is not yet available.

My thoughts: I love that the Obama campaign is hitting McCain on local issues that personally affect voters. While McCain is trumping around his 'celebrity' ads and handing out character assassinations, Obama is talking to people about real issues that affect their day to day lives. I believe that this is a winning strategy.

Your thoughts?

UPDATE: Here is video courtesy of Hope Reborn and many others. The link is fixed now.

I'm not sure how to embed video on here yet.
