Obama Ad Hammers McCain Adviser's Golden Parachute
By Greg Sargent and Eric Kleefeld - September 29, 2008, 12:31PM
The Obama campaign keeps up its economic assault on John McCain and the economic crisis with this new ad on national cable. It ties McCain to the culture of Wall Street golden parachutes by going after McCain adviser Carly Fiorina's lavish severance package when she was fired from Hewlett Packard:
"Last week, another bank went under -- but its CEO could walk away with $19 million," the announcer says. "John McCain's advisor, Carly Fiorina: The fired CEO who left with $42 million."
"You've got corporate executives who are giving themselves million dollar golden parachutes and leaving workers high and dry," Obama says. "That's wrong, it's an outrage."
It's good that Obama has been hitting the "outrage" button, which could perhaps quiet the concerns reported in this silly piece in The New York Times suggesting that Obama's style may be "too cool" for the crisis. For some strange reason, the article didn't mention any of the numerous polls finding that more people think Obama identifies with their problems and more trust Obama to handle this crisis.
