Barack Obama today unveiled an economy-focused TV ad that seeks to tie Republican rival John McCain to the Bush administration's policies and that promises a new approach. The ad shows a fake book -- "Economics by John McCain," the announcer says -- then goes through the chapters: "Support George Bush 95 percent of the time. Keep Spending $10 billion a month for the War in Iraq while the Iraqis sell oil for record prices. Giving Iraq a $79 billion oil surplus and hurting our economy." Then, the announcer says that Obama will turn the page. "Barack Obamas plan: End the War responsibly, better schools, no more tax breaks for oil companies." "Barack Obama, the middle class first," the announcer concludes. The spot is to begin airing Thursday in 16 battleground states, including New Hampshire. UPDATE: Tucker Bounds, a McCain spokesman, said in response to the ad: In the Senate, Barack Obama has voted in lockstep with President George W. Bush nearly half the time, including the Bush-Cheney Energy Bill which gave close to 3 billion dollars in new giveaways to Big Oil a terrible policy that John McCain opposed. The truth is Barack Obamas plan is a job killing machine that ignores the struggling economy and raises taxes on family savings, social security and small businesses. ...

The Eurofighter has cost a fortune, with Britain's Bill alone easily exceeding £20 billion. For most of its life it has been regarded as a technically rather wonderful white elephant: brilliant but designed for another age. "Why do we need a fighter designed to fight the Cold War and engage in dog fights with Russians jets over the North Sea," ran the argument from hawks (like me). Instead, shouldn't we be Spending the... ... Source: www.furl.net --- 68 days ago

John McCain accepted the Republican presidential nomination last night, “Let me offer an advance warning to the old, big Spending, do-nothing, me first, country second, Washington crowd: Change is coming... I have that record and the scars to prove it. Senator Obama does not. You know, I’ve been called a maverick, someone who marches to the beat of his own drum... I don’t work for a party. I don’t work for special interests. I don’t work for myself. I work for you." McCain suggested using "the best ideas from both sides" and spoke to his experiences as a prisoner of War during the Vietnam War--and how America saved him. He also tried to distance himself from the Bush administration, "I fight to restore the pride and principles of our party. We were elected to change Washington, and we let Washington change us. We lost the trust of the American people when some Republicans gave in to the temptations of corruption... We're going to change that. We're going to recover the people's trust by standing up again for the values Americans admire. " (McCain also included the Democrats and Obama among those who lost America's trust.) Here's a transcript and video is below. There is an image gallery to this entry which you can view at Gothamist Barack Obama's spokesman Bill Burton issued a statement , "He admonished the 'old, do-nothing crowd' in Washington but ignored the fact that he's been part of that crowd for 26 years, opposing solutions on he ...

President Bush on Monday signed the $162 billion supplemental appropriations Bill to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan , a move that will provide funding to the wars through the first month of the next president’s term. According to CNN , the supplemental Spending Bill also contains a new GI Bill that expands education benefits for veterans who have served since the 9/11 attacks, provides a 13-week extension of unemployment benefits and more than $2 billion in disaster assistance for parts of the Midwest that have been hit by record floods. The Bill also includes hard-fought for provisions for Gulf Coast rebuilding—$5.8 billion for Louisiana levees and $73 million for Gulf Coast housing vouchers to shelter physically and mentally disabled Katrina victims. As Facing South reported last month, Sen. Mary Landrieu has been pushing legislators for more than two years to provide additional relief to the Gulf Coast . She said the funds from the Bill will help a few thousand in New Orleans , but is concerned that much needed money for hospitals, police, and flood prevention was still cut from the final Bill. As Landrieu stated in a press release last week: “This Bill provides a foundation for some of the remaining recovery needs on the Gulf Coast , but the task is not completed. The House of Representatives unfortunately caved to White House demands and cut from this Supplemental critical funding the Senate had passed for our very rea ... Source: arabist.net --- 69 days ago

Halfway through her discussion at The American University of Judaism, where more than 300 people paid $30 each to hear Pelosi speak about her upbringing and her family's impact on her political career as detailed in her book Know Your Power: A Message to Americas Daughters , the topic shifted to Congress's historically low approval rating and how it reflected on Pelosis tenure as Speaker. ... She said, in her opinion, the reasons behind Congresss low approval rating was largely due to the fact that Democrats could not muster up the votes to end the Iraq War, which the Democratic Speaker from San Francisco said she could not do much about because of the Democrats razor-thin majority in both Houses. ...But Pelosis comments appeared disingenuous to many, since she was largely responsible for crafting an appropriations Bill in backroom discussions with House Democratic leaders, passed in June, and then worked secretly with the White House budget director offering up concessions on Iraq War benchmarks if Bush would agree to the domestic Spending attached to the final Bill with little debate preceding a vote on the measure. ...John McCain would be dangerous for the country, identifying the candidate's support for an endless War in Iraq and his intention to uphold many of the questionable constitutional interpretations relating to torture and civil liberties during the Bush administration, Pelosi said the only way to "dig our way out" is by ...

On June 30, President Bush signed a $162 billion War Spending Bill that included a 13-week extension of unemployment benefits. Attaching this unemployment extension to entirely unrelated War Spending sought by the White House was effective in getting the extension passed despite significant Republican opposition. This post describes the availability of the extended benefits and the economic and political considerations affecting the decision to undertake this significant additional domestic Spending. ...

Here's the response from Obama spokesperson Bill Burton to McCain's attack today proclaiming that Obama wants us to lose in Iraq out of "ambition": "All his bluster, distortions and negative attacks notwithstanding, it is hard to understand how Senator McCain can at once proclaim his support for the sovereign government of Iraq, and then stubbornly defy their expressed support for a timeline to remove our combat brigades from their country. The difference in this race is that John McCain is intent on Spending $10 billion a month on an open-ended War, while Barack Obama thinks we should bring this War to a responsible end and invest in our pressing needs here at home." The idea that McCain's Iraq policies are directly at odds with what the Iraqi government wants has gotten scattered mention by Team Obama in statements and ads. Perhaps this is the start of a renewed effort to push it for all it's worth. ...
