New Hillary Ad: Obama Only Takes On Oil Companies "On TV"
After a FactCheck.org analysis declared a recent Obama ad "misleading" for saying that he doesn't take money from oil companies, the Hillary campaign hit the radio waves in Pennsylvania today with its own ad attacking Obama's ad.
You can listen to the ad here.
FactCheck.org and the Hillary ad both point out that it's not legal for companies to donate to candidates, but the point of the initial Obama ad is that Obama doesn't take money from PACs, which is the way corporations channel money to campaigns.
Hillary's ad also points out that he voted for the Bush-Cheney energy bill and that she voted against it, and her ad has this little twist on her campaign's frequent suggestion that Obama is all talk, no action: "It's time for a president who takes on the oil companies in real life -- not just on TV."
