Obama Releases Space-Themed TV Spot

Obama Touts Connection to Space Program in New National Ad (with video)

“Barack Obama launched a new national television ad today that prominently features Apollo Astronauts as Obama recounts how they inspired his early days. In the 60-second ad entitled “Buster,” Obama speaks directly to the camera about the lessons he learned from the early space program and what it taught him about America. The ad is the first by either presidential candidate to highlight the space program. Obama has pledged to increase NASA funding to save Florida jobs and maintain America’s leadership in space. Senator McCain has pledged to freeze discretionary spending in his first year, which would negatively impact the space program.”
