Obama Should Be Ashamed to Run His New Ad
John McCain has put his entire focus on the meetings in Washington D.C. dealing with the current financial crisis. He is performing his duties as a United States Senator and has suspended his campaign, his ads, and fundraising.

Barack Hussein Obama, who is also a United States Senator continues to campaign and run new ads... like this one...

"For eight years we've been told that the way to a stronger economy was to give huge tax breaks to corporations and the wealthiest. Cut oversight on Wall Street. And somehow all Americans would benefit, Well now we know the truth. Instead of prosperity tricking down, the pain has trickled up. We need to change direction. Now."

OK, can anyone in the class stand up and tell us what's wrong with this ad?

I can!

It's a LIE.
It's the same old crap and lies OBrainless, woops, I mean OEmptyness, woops, I mean Obama, and the Democrats have been pushing for years. It's a LIE. Obama should be ashamed to run this ad, playing off of a real, substantial crisis to try and get votes. There's no change here, nothing but OSameness.

The Facts!

The Democrats under President Clinton relaxed the lending rules that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac operated under.

In 2005, Alan Greenspan told the Senate Banking Committee that urgent action was needed to correct the problems that these very risky lending practices were causing or we would have the exact type of meltdown that we're experiencing now.

John McCain, who was on the Senate Banking Committee at the time co-sponsored a bill to reform this mess.

The Democrats tied it up in a party-line vote keeping it from ever seeing the light of day.

Had that bill been enacted into law, we would not be in this mess.

This is detailed in my previous post: What Caused the Financial Melt Down and What Part Did Obama and McCain Play?

OEmptyness should be ashamed to run the ad and make such blatantly false misleading statements.

Until next time,
Recoil

I'm still waiting/reading for the lie portion of the ad. You cite some facts, but none of those actually contradict anything stated in the ad. In fairness doesn't cite any hard facts (in the strict sense of the word). But your argument does not justify your conclusion. There may be, and probably, is a better argument that it is misleading or somehow is aiming to plant false impressions on the viewer.

JWA;
I think my argument more than justifies my conclusion, especially if you read the previous post I linked to.

The FACTS are that Obama's new ad insinuates that the Republicans and the Bush administration created this financial disaster, when in FACT, as I said, it started with the Clinton administration relaxing the regulations on loans and then when the alarms started sounding in 2005, the Democrats blocked the measures that would have corrected the problem. This was all said plainly in my post and more facts, such as the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac PAC donations to Obama, Hillary Clinton, and others, are given in the previous post that I linked to.

I just hope that when the votes are taken on this legislation that Obama votes something besides "Present".
