After John McCain’s raving and ranting about Barack Obama’s doubtful leadership qualities, it was now Obama’s turn to strike back. Which he did with an ad that pummelled his White House rival John McCain by dismissing the Republican as “in the pocket” of profit-pumping US oil giants.
The ad was a huge welcome for all Democrats who were waiting for Obama to go on the offensive as daily trackings showed McCain battling back into a statistical tie in the presidential elections. In the hard-hitting new campaign ad, Obama accuses McCain of taking campaign contributions from big oil firms as gasoline prices soar and bite deep into the budgets of American families. The ad’s voiceover says, “Now big oil’s filling John McCain’s campaign with two million dollars in contributions.” The spot also didn’t spare President Bush saddling him with the low approval ratings, who is believed to side with former oil industry colleagues.
