WISCONSIN FOR HILLARY LAUNCHES TWO NEW STATEWIDE ADS
Today, Wisconsin for Hillary launched two new 30-second television ads statewide. The ad "Deserves" responds to Senator Barack Obama's false attack ad and asks Sen. Obama why he has not agreed to debate in Wisconsin. The second ad entitled "Rebuild" reaffirms Hillary's commitment to rebuild the middle class.
The new ads come four days before Wisconsin residents head to the polls on February 19th.
Following is the script for "Deserves":
Announcer: "Barack Obama still won't agree to debate in Wisconsin.
And now he's hiding behind false attack ads.
Maybe he doesn't want to explain why his health care plan leaves out 15 million people and Hillary's covers everyone.
Or why he voted to pass billions in Bush giveaways to the oil companies, but Hillary didn't.
Or why he said he might raise the retirement age and cut benefits for social security. But Hillary won't.
Why wont Barack Obama debate these differences?
Wisconsin deserves better.
Hillary Clinton: "I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message

Hillary won't.
Obama: 'Everything should be on the table.' Stephanopoulos: You've also said that with Social Security everything should be on the table.
Obama: Yes.
Stephanopoulos: Raising the retirement age?
Obama: Everything should be on the table.
Stephanopoulos: Raising payroll taxes?
Obama: Everything should be on the table. I think we should approach it the same way Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan did back in 1983. They came together, I don't want to lay out my preferences beforehand, but what I know is that Social Security is solvable. It is not as difficult a problem as we're going to have with Medicaid and Medicare. ["This Week," 5/13/07]
Obama says 'everything has to be on the table' and he would make 'benefit and tax changes' to Social Security. "I will work in a bipartisan way to maintain Social Security's solvency for future generations. I believe everything has to be on the table that is genuinely intended to strengthen the program. We can close the gap with an equitable mix of benefit and tax changes similar to those recommended by the bipartisan Greenspan Commission in 1983." [washingtonpost.com]
