The Case for Obama

Barack Obama's campaign launched a new radio ad on 36 stations across the state of South Carolina.

The ad is entitled "Difference." Here's the script:

"Difference”

Script:

Sen. Barack Obama:

I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message.

My father left when I was two. I only saw him once after that. My mother did her best, struggling to take care of my sister and me. But it’s hard to heal that hole in your heart.

I think about that when I see young boys running loose on the streets of our community, without that male role model…without opportunity, hope or direction.

It’s not a hurricane-- just another disaster Washington can’t see.

The stakes are so high in this election. Millions of our kids attend failing, underfunded schools. Too many young black men in prison, too few in college. Even in the middle of the world’s richest country, so many are left behind.

Unless we try something different, we’re going to get the same old results; the same tinkering at the edges. The same unkept promises.

This is Barack Obama.

We must change the ways of Washington to bring jobs and better schools and health care to America’s forgotten places.

That’s why I’m running for President, South Carolina. Join me.

Paid for by Obama for America
