Obama video fact-checks McCain

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor August 22, 2008 05:58 PM


Like a really bad webisode of "The Office," Barack Obama's camp is up with another fact-checking video in which two staffers, sitting at their desks, bemoan what they call another false attack ad from John McCain -- for the third Friday in a row.

The McCain ad, which warns of higher taxes under Obama, is untrue because Obama wants to cut taxes for those making less than $250,000 a year, a staffer says.

McCain, on the other hand, by wanting to extend President Bush's tax cuts, would favor the wealthy.

As visual aids, there are images of notebook paper with a check in the box next to Obama's plan, and an "x" in the one by McCain's proposal.
