McCain Troops Attack Ad Against Obama
McCain Troops Attack Ad Against Obama – Barack Obama has barely set back foot on the American soil that he is already being blasted by John McCain for not visiting the wounded troops in Germany during his week-long trip abroad.Obama was asked to cancel a visit by the Pentagon over political propriety but the McCain campaign decided that they will use the opportunity to paint the Illinois Democrat as a “soldier hater”.McCain has even unveiled two attack ads entitled “Troop Funding” and “Troops” against Obama.Here is the script for “Troops”:
Anncr: Barack Obama never held a single Senate hearing on Afghanistan.
He hadn’t been to Iraq in years.
He voted against funding our troops.
And now, he made time to go to the gym, but canceled a visit with wounded troops.
Seems the Pentagon wouldn’t allow him to bring cameras.
John McCain is always there for our troops.
McCain. Country first.
John McCain: I’m John McCain and I approve this message.
Rhode Island Democrat Sen. Jack Reed responded to McCain’s ad by saying:
I was with Senator Obama last week as we met privately with troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Senator Obama listened to their concerns and expressed his gratitude for their service without press or fanfare. He cares for our troops deeply and has worked hard to give them not only the resources they need, but also honor their service with a clearly defined mission and by providing them with the support they have earned when they come home. And just as Senator McCain’s support of President Bush’s veto of funding for our troops doesn’t mean he does not support them, neither does Senator Obama’s insistence that we not give George Bush a blank check.
