'Both Ways Barack' - New Ad

Let Freedom Ring, a political 527 special interest organization, is airing a :30 second TV ad targeting Obama titled "Both Ways Barack." The spot focuses on Obama's dueling positions on a litany of issues.



Both candidates will be targeted and supported by a variety of special interest groups. And some special interests like the AARP will target both.

The size of the advertising buy for this ad has not been disclosed (which is not required by law).

But the general subject matter of the spot has been noted previously in media reports and is obviously accurate. For a candidate like Obama, about whom, Americans know so little, attacks like this are serious threats. If most voters don't know much about Obama, then groups like Let Freedom Ring have an opportunity to plant substantial seeds of doubt and concern.

The ad's script reads:

People are saying that Senator Obama's recent changes of position have made him a flip-flopper.

He's not! Flip-floppers only hold one position at a time.

Senator Obama is different: he holds two positions at the same time.

Both ways on banning handguns.

Both ways on public campaign financing.

And now, both ways on withdrawing from Iraq.

He's 'Both Ways Barack.' Worse than a flip-flopper!
