Economy Ad

A well-done new ad for Barack. Not responding to McCain's celebrity theme directly, but sidestepping it and looking serious on the economy. Smart.



ABC's Jake Tapper nitpicks the ad:

There's some pretty iffy stuff in there -- Obama has voted to send tens of
billions to Iraq, too, though quite obviously he has also voted against funding
the war as well. And oil moneys aside, that's a pretty remarkable suggestion,
that the Iraqis are living high on the hog and screwing the very US taxpayers
who are helping them.

He's right, of course. But the ad still works.
