Hillary runs ad calling Obama "out of touch"
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) began airing a 30-second ad on Pennsylvania television on Monday needling Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for controversial remarks he made at a San Francisco fundraising reception.The ad uses ordinary voters in man-on-the-street style to argue that the remarks, delivered privately but publicized on Friday, show Obama is out of touch. The ad is called Pennsylvania and began airing a week to the day before the crucial Keystone State primary. The ad only uses a portion of Obamas comment about small-town Pennsylvanians and Midwesterners, which was posted by The Huffington Post: [I]t's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." Heres the script of Clintons new ad: Clinton: I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message. Announcer: Barack Obama said that people in small towns cling to guns or religion as a way to explain their frustrations. Woman 1: I was very insulted by Barack Obama. Man 1: It just shows how out of touch Barack Obama is. Woman 2: I'm not clinging to my faith out of frustration and bitterness. I find that my faith is very uplifting. Man 2: The good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said. Woman 1: Hillary does understand the citizens of Pennsylvania better. Woman 3: Hillary Clinton has been fighting for people like us her whole life. "I'm John McCain and I approve of most of this message too." Posted by: Mike 2008-04-15 |
