Obama ad to target McCain's energy policies

[kevinmc]

CHICAGO (AP)-- U.S. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama's campaign will begin running a television ad Monday in the U.S., that attacks Republican John McCain's energy policies.

"After one president in the pocket of big oil we can't afford another," says the ad, referring to President Bush's previous work in the oil industry.

Obama hoped to emphasize energy and the economy in campaign stops this week in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, beginning with a speech Monday in Lansing, Mich. Gas prices over $4 a gallon have become a top issue in the U.S. presidential contest.

Obama's spot trumpets his proposal to revive a windfall profits tax on energy companies and asserts that McCain favors tax breaks for the oil industry..........

5. Where I live, CA ..... we won't see any ads ... the only time I saw any ads was in the primaries ...

I know McCain won't run anything here .. he doesn't have a chance in hell winning here. Obama can save his money.
