McCain Ad: "Troop Funding"
Posted by TOM BEVAN | E-Mail This | Permalink | Email Author
The McCain campaign continues to pound away on Obama over his position on Iraq, portraying him as being politically expedient at the expense of U.S. troops in Iraq. Its newest ad, titled "Troop Funding," finishes with the tag "country first."
Obama spokesman Bill Burton's response:
"While Barack Obama wants to change American foreign policy to wind down the war in Iraq and address the grave threat posed by a resurgent al Qaeda and Taliban in Afghanistan, John McCain offers this patently misleading negative ad. Given his calls for a civil campaign, it's disappointing that Senator McCain has slipped so easily into the same, tired campaign tactics that have become so familiar to the American people."
