Script of "Hometown" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: A war that should never have been waged, an economy in turmoil, record prices at the pump, America held hostage to foreign oil. And what does Hillary Clinton offer us? More of the same old negative politics.

Her hometown newspaper says she’s taking “the low road.” Her attacks do “nothing but harm.”

(Text on screen: The New York Times; 4/23/08)

The same old Washington politics won’t fix our problems. We need honest answers and a president we can trust.

BARACK OBAMA [v/o]: I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message.
