Obama-Biden Campaign Launches New TV Ad on The Need for A New Direction on the Economy
CHICAGO, IL - Today, the Obama-Biden campaign introduced a new 30 second TV ad, “Better Off”, which details how the middle class is struggling and that the American dream is fading as we have the highest unemployment in seven years, a record one million homes in foreclosure, financial markets in turmoil, declining wages and soaring food and gas prices. Senator Obama knows that we simply can’t afford more of the same and we need a new direction, now, and that’s why he is running for President.
