Anyone who thinks the Obama campaign can’t throw a punch hasn’t been paying attention to the recent ads from the Obama team.

The latest ad is very powerful. They pick up on the latest news that Iraq has a $79 billion oil surplus, while we’re spending over $10 billion per month on the Iraq War. The also explains that McCain votes with Bush 95% of the time.

It’s a powerful ad linking McCain, Bush and the Iraq War to our current economic difficulties. The tag line at the end - The Middle Class First - is a powerful one as well.
