Obama Hits McCain for Owning 13 Cars, One Foreign

Barack Obama will air a TV ad in Michigan, beginning tomorrow, criticizing John McCain for owning 13 cars, one of them (his daughter’s) foreign.

McCain has caught heat for buying his daughter, Meghan McCain, a Toyota Prius, despite claims that he’s bought American his entire life. Newsweek first reported flak from United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger Monday. McCain had said last year that he bought the car, but told the Detroit Free Press this month that Meghan bought it herself, to Gettelfinger’s displeasure.

The Obama campaign is seeking to capitalize on Michigan’s anti-foreign-auto sentiments, as it is home to America’s largest auto manufacturers. Obama leads McCain in the battelground state by an average of five percentage points.
