The campaign team of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Friday launched its offensive against most poignant Republican candidate with a message on television that checks off to John McCain analfeto an anachronistic computer.
"Today is the first day of the rest of the campaign," said the manager of the Obama campaign, David Plouffe, in a strategy memorandum on proselytizing. "Respond quickly and intensity of attacks by John McCain and we will fight, but we will do in the great issues that matter to Americans."
The new mood contender coincides with a recovery of McCain in the polls and expressions of some Democrats who want more aggressive in the Obama campaign. The team of Democrat candidate said that the escalation will include messages and offensives of the candidate, his vicepresidencial candidate Joe Biden and other managers throughout the country.
The new message includes images little supportive McCain during a hearing in the early 1980, in which he appears with huge glasses and a suit outdated, while figures interspersed an area of the luminous disc era, an old phone , An old computer and a Rubik cube.
"1982, John McCain goes to Washington," says a narrator. "Things have changed over the past 26 years, but not McCain."
"Admits that still does not know how to use a computer, can not send an email, still does not understand the economy, and favors 200,000 million dollars in new tax cuts to corporations, but almost nothing in the middle class," says message.
It also shows a video of McCain while descending from a golf cart with former president George HW Bush and a rapprochement with a photograph that appears with the current agent George W. Bush at the White House. "After a president who was unrealistic, because we can not afford more than the same thing."
Dan Pfeiffer, spokesman for Obama, said the campaign team did not intend to profit from the age of McCain who has 72 years but who has spent time in Washington.
