Senator Obama Draws 15,000 in Cincinnati

Senator Barack Obama is taking his message of turning the page on the last eight years of failed Bush/McCain policies to southern Ohio this week.

"I can take four more weeks of attacks from John McCain," Obama told 15,000 gathered in resplendent sunshine under deep-blue skies Thursday afternoon at Ault Park.

"But this nation can't take four more years of the economic policies of George W. Bush and John McCain."

Obama began his two-day tour of southern Ohio on a day when the stock market continued to plummet and the attention of voters is divided, with one eye on the campaign and one eye on the economy.

"It's tough times for Cincinnati, it's tough times for Ohio, it's tough times for America," he said. "I believe in all of you. I believe in this country. In this great nation of ours, there's nothing we can't do when we put our minds to it.

"This is the United States of America."

Meanwhile, the McCain campaign continues their dishonest and dishonorable dive into gutter politics in a desperate attempt "turn the page on the financial crisis" strategy while the Dow Jones crashes at historic rates and taking the savings of thousands of Americans with it.

Only 15,000? - Oh yeah, It's a workday - How many came out to support McShame when he didn't have his anti-American vice-trophy-candidate at the same place and time? I remember a story about him having trouble filling a hotel ball-room...

It's not about winning the Presidency anymore... Support your Down-Ticket Dems... Let's get our 60 seat Majority in the Senate and a Crushing Majority in the House... We Cannot reverse the Bush neo-policy without 60 senators... You don't have to live in a particular State to Donate to a congressional canidate... Give to all 50 States... We have races all over that need your time and money

In response to the share the wealth comments of Sen. McCain, people need to be eminded that 30 years ago a CEO's salary was about 20 times hat of the average worker in his company. Today, the average CEO's salary is 440 times that of the average worker in his company. Isn't it about time that the hard-working middle class worker got a break. I'd love to be making 440 times what I made 30 years ago.
