Having been raked over the coals for half-truths in his first two ads, Obama tries to avoid too many specifics in his third. But he still runs afoul of those inconvenient truths, hitting McCain for supporting a bill that Obama voted for. For those keeping score, Obama has now touted his support of a bill he didn't vote for, and criticized a bill he did vote for.
...
Obama's ad begins, "On gas prices, John McCain is part of the problem. On McCain and Bush support a drilling plan that won't produce a drop of oil for seven years."
That production schedule does seem slow, until one remembers Obama opposes opening any areas to new drilling, which means his plan won't produce a single drop of oil... ever. "Better never than late" seems to be the slogan.
You'd think Obama's team wouldn't be so... sloppy. He's in the lead. He has the charisma. Why make such stupid, obvious mistakes?
I mean is it that hard to find a bill that Obama supports that he voted for, or even something he was against that he voted to stop?
I know his record is thin but really?
Once again we're left with an unflattering choice of options.
A) This was the best job they could do on the ad and his record is so thin that there's nothing better.
B) The people making his ads are lazy idiots.
