2. Obama supporters defend these ads!
Obama's Creative Clippings Part Deux
January 17, 2008
The ad may be new, but we've seen this tactic, from this candidate, before.
Summary
The Obama campaign's new ad uses an old trick and takes quotes from newspapers out of context.

* Once again, the campaign uses a quote from a news story to say Obama's health plan would offer universal coverage. But the full article points out that his plan "does not guarantee" full coverage.

* The ad also shows a clip saying that Obama has been against the war in Iraq since the beginning. True enough, but the story also chastises him for making too much of the boldness of his early stance.
