New Ad on Washington Sleaze

The American Issues Project, the 501 (c)4 organization whose first ad exposed Obama’s long-term friendship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and which the Obama team tried to quash, released a new ad on Wednesday about the economic meltdown, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and corruption. This ad does not mention Obama or the fact he received the second largest amount of donations from Freddie and Frannie, but it does talk about Sen. Chris Dodd, the man who received the most donations. Although not directed at Obama, this ad implies the danger of an Obama administration coupled with the corruption and sleaze in Washington which is the cause of this crisis. In this way, I think the ad underscores McCain’s anti-Washington, maverick message:
The American Issues Project, in a press release from today, says the ad seeks to put the blame of the crisis on Washington liberals:
Our ad seeks to set the record straight and let the American people know who is responsible for this $700 billion catastrophe,” said Ed Martin, the organization’s president. “While liberals and some in the media try to affix blame to the Bush Administration for the housing crisis and resulting financial meltdown, this is one case where the real impetus for all these troubles is crystal clear. It was not the free market but government supported and propped-up institutions Fannie and Freddie that are the root cause. All roads for this failure lead back to liberals and their close ties to these two government institutions.
The initial ad buy is for $1 million and it will run on cable news networks.
Below is the first ad on Obama’s ties to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers:
