Script of "Expensive Plans"

(Crowd chanting "Obama")

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Take away the crowds, the chants. All that's left are costly words.

Barack Obama and out-of-touch congressional leaders have expensive plans. Billions in new government spending. Years of deficits. No balanced budgets. And painful tax increases on working American families.

They're ready to tax, ready to spend, but not ready to lead.
