Obama Radio Ad: McCain And His Lobbyist Buddies Caused Ohio To Bleed Jobs

Obama is hitting McCain's lobbyist connections hard in a radio commercial he's putting out in Ohio.

McCain made a big point of telling the workers there that he had to give them "straight talk" and that he wasn't sure that they could keep their jobs. From Obama's ad:

"But there's something John McCain's not telling you: It was McCain who used his influence in the Senate to help foreign-owned DHL buy a U.S. company and gain control over the jobs that are now on the chopping block in Ohio," the announcer says.

"And that's not all: McCain's campaign manager was the top lobbyist for the DHL deal...helped push it through. His firm was paid $185,000 to lobby McCain and other Senators."
