Straightforward Obama Ad "A Stronger Economy" Offers Candidate's Plan

The day after President Bush addressed the country about the economic crisis, Barack Obama directly addresses viewers with an outline of his economic plan. Obama avoids attacks on John McCain, who has temporarily suspended his ad campaign. Obama attacks "trickle-down" economics, just as Bill Clinton did in his 1992 ad "Rebuild America." Each candidate invites voters to get a copy of his plan; Obama's via the Internet, and Clinton's via a toll-free phone call.
