Obama Ad: Energy As "National Priority"
About a week ago, as Ben Smith reports, the Obama campaign started airing a new ad centered on energy. Only they didn't tell the press. So while this spot looks like the second in the Obama camp's series of energy spots criticizing John McCain – after an ad unveiled yesterday saying McCain is in the "pocket" of big oil – it's really the first. Got that?
"John McCain. He’s been in Washington for 26 years," an announcer says in the newly-unearthed spot, "National Priority." "And as gas prices soared and dependence on oil exploded, McCain was voting against alternative energy, against higher mileage standards."
The spot then shifts to a focus on Obama. Says the announcer:
"Barack Obama. He’ll make energy independence an urgent national priority, raise mileage standards, fast-track technology for alternative fuels. A thousand dollar tax cut to help families as we break the grip of foreign oil. A real plan, and new energy."
The Obama campaign tells CBS News that the spot is airing in "battleground states." Watch it below:

Show McCain as the Bushite he really is.
McCain has accomplished next to nothing in his 3 decades in Congress--except as a lobbyist for the Mexican trucking industry, to allow the Mexicans to run their big rigs on US highways.
Other than that, not much, eh?
Except pandering to the same oil companies that own and operate George Bush and Dik Cheney.
