Strickland peeved about McCain ad
Here’s Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland on Sen. John McCain’s newest campaign ad, “Pump,” which you can see by scrolling down on this blog:
“John McCain’s latest ad is disingenuous and disappointing. The truth is that in his 26 years in Washington, Sen. McCain has consistently opposed investments in ethanol and a range of alternative energy technologies that have the potential to create thousands of jobs across Ohio.
“But despite his own longtime opposition to renewable energy projects that would reduce our dependence on foreign oil, Sen. McCain is trying to blame Senator Obama for high gas prices.
“Sen. Obama has a plan to invest $150 billion in clean and renewable energy that would create 5 million new jobs. It’s a serious plan that will secure our energy independence and move our economy forward. Meanwhile, Senator McCain seems only to be offering discredited attacks. Ohioans deserve better.”
We’ve asked McCain’s campaign for their response to this criticism, and will post it accordingly….
