Obama Campaign to Air New Ad – “Nothing’s Changed”
In new ad, Obama discusses commitment to take on oil companies, curtail rising gas prices
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Senator Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign will begin airing a new television ad in Pennsylvania today. In the thirty-second spot, entitled “Nothing’s Changed” Senator Obama discusses his commitment to change Washington so that we can finally break our dependence on foreign oil and curtail rising gas costs. Since the 1970s, politicians in both parties have made promises about energy independence but failed to make real progress because the oil companies and their lobbyists have a stranglehold on Washington. Barack Obama is the one candidate in this race who does not take money from special interest PACs or Washington lobbyists.
As President, Obama will stand up to the special interests to:
Force oil companies to pay a penalty on windfall profits
Invest $150 billion in alternative energy
Create 5 million “green collar” jobs
SCRIPT – “Nothing’s Changed”
Barack Obama: Since the gas lines of the 70s, Democrats and Republicans have talked about energy independence… but nothing’s changed…
…Except now Exxon’s making $40 billion a year and we’re paying $3.50 for gas.
I’m Barack Obama. I don’t take money from oil companies or Washington lobbyists and I won’t let them block change anymore. They’ll pay a penalty on windfall profits. We’ll invest in alternative energy and create jobs and free ourselves from foreign oil.
I approve this message because it’s time Washington worked for you – not them
