Robocall praises Obama on middle class


A robocall is praising Barack Obama for his middle-class tax cut.

Paid for by the N.C. Democratic Party and authorized by the Obama campaign, the minute-long automated call features an Eden textile worker named Louis Dishman.

"During this week's debate, Barack Obama talked about cutting taxes for middle-class families like mine, lowering health care costs and bringing the change we need to Washington," he says.

"John McCain ignored the issues and used the debate to launch false attacks against Barack Obama."

He adds that McCain did not say the words "middle class" in any of the three debates.

After the jump, the script.

—————

Hi, my name is Louis Dishman and I'm calling for Barack Obama.

I'm a textile worker from Eden, North Carolina. I'm also a veteran and a former Republican.

During this week's debate, Barack Obama talked about cutting taxes for middle-class families like mine, lowering health care costs and bringing the change we need to Washington.

John McCain ignored the issues and used the debate to launch false attacks against Barack Obama.

In fact, McCain, for the third debate in a row, didn't even say the words "middle class."

So take it from me, Louis the textile worker, if you want a president who will put middle-class families first, join me in voting for Barack Obama.

Paid for by Campaign for Change, a project of the North Carolina Democratic Party, 919-783-5996, and authorized by Obama for America.

Hey Ryan,

How about covering the PPP poll showing Obama up 7 points. Maybe its just me but a national political news site beating a local political blog is strange.

PPP Poll: Obama Increases Lead in North Carolina

A new Public Policy Polling survey in North Carolina shows Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain, 51% to 44%, "and his remarkably strong standing with white voters in the state is the main reason."

Key findings: "Obama's gains are being fueled by very strong performances with two of the fastest growing voter blocs in the state: suburbanites and independent voters. He is up 56-38 in suburbia, where Bush won convincingly in 2004, and has expanded his lead with independents to 51-33."

Typical Democrat play book.

State the facts, offer solutions, lose because voters are retards.

I expected more from Obama.
