"Painful"

08 Aug 2008 09:57 am



A new McCain ad claims that Barack Obama voted to raise taxes on folks earning more than $42,000 a year. Technically, the claim stands up-- Obama voted for a budget resolution that  would have restored the 25% tax bracket to 28%, which, in theory, might mean more taxes paid by those earning as little as $42,000.  But Budget resolutions aren't bills; they're broad targets... so the McCain folks are having a little fun here.

In any event, watch the first 15 seconds of the ad without audio.... it's hard to tell whether it's an Obama commercial or a McCain commercial.
