What happened to Obama campaigning on the “issues”?



Campaign email: (excerpt)
The McCain campaign is trying to distract voters from the real issues — so we’re going to focus on what they’re trying to hide.

They’ve come out against the life-saving possibilities of stem cell research.

They don’t even mention protecting equal pay for equal work.

They support huge tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans.

They’ve almost completely ignored the $10 billion we’re spending every month in Iraq.

And they make zero exceptions for a woman’s right to choose — even in cases of rape, incest, or to protect the life of the mother.

If that all sounds like more of the same, that’s because it is. John McCain is offering a third term of the disastrous Bush agenda, so it’s no wonder his campaign would choose to focus on attacks instead of issues.

I know we’ve asked a lot from supporters like you recently, and many of you contributed just last week.

But the stakes are high, and there are less than 9 weeks before Election Day. It’s going to require unprecedented resources to defeat John McCain and bring about the change America so desperately needs.

Thank you for all you do,

Nowhere does he mention where Obama will do a better job. I thought the liberals took the high road.
