MCCAIN-PALIN 2008 LAUNCHES NEW TV AD: "JIM JOHNSON"
ARLINGTON, VA -- Today, McCain-Palin 2008 released its latest television ad, entitled "Jim Johnson." The ad highlights Barack Obama's work with former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson who cooked the books at Fannie and made millions. Knowing this, Barack Obama still picked Johnson to run his vice presidential search. While promising reforms, Barack Obama relies on those who walked away with millions in payments from institutions that are now costing the taxpayers billions. The ad will be televised nationally.
