Obama finally starts to hit back on gas prices, with ad in Detroit market.

[jefferson_dem]

Obama goes on the air in Detroit with a response ad to McCain’s spot suggesting it was his rival’s fault gas prices are so high.

“John McCain is blaming Barack Obama for gas prices? The same old politics. Barack Obama thinks high gas prices deserve serious answers and a serious plan.”

1. I do hope the ad goes on to explain just what that "serious plan" is.

Otherwise it just looks silly.

3. Agreed.

People want specifics. McCain's call to drill offshore is a plan -- not a good or "serious" one mind you - but a plan nonetheless. Obama needs to outline his energy agenda with 2-3 feasable solutions that can be repeated over and over.

4. did he turn it into an attack on BUSH/McCain energy policy's UTTER failures as

the reason for high gas prices?

probably not

can I run his ad campaign

he should have a picture of Bush and McCain together in EVERY SINGLE ad.

is that such a hard thing to understand

it's what the pugs do....repeat the message over and over and over and over

do the American people want four more years of somebody who voted with Bush A HUNDRED PERCENT of the time this year, 95 percent last year?

6. very short 30 second ad....

it's available now.

It's Obama's answer to the Mccain blame game.

1. crack down on oil speculation.
2. raise mileage standards.
3. fast track alternative fuels.
