Mellencamp Featured In Obama Radio Spot
Rocker John Mellencamp, an IN resident, has recorded a radio ad for Barack Obama. Running, of course, in red state IN.
Mellencamp: "I've seen a lot of small towns, but now I'm seeing small towns across America dying. Folks losing their jobs and their homes ... eight years of George Bush have really hurt. And John McCain is just more of the same. Over the last eight years, thousands of Hoosier workers have seen their jobs sent out of this country."

Hi. This is John Mellencamp; And I’ve seen a lot of small towns, but now I’m seeing small towns across America dying. Folks losing their jobs and their homes… eight years of George Bush have really hurt. And - John McCain is just more of the same.
Over the last eight years, thousands of Hoosier workers have seen their jobs sent out of this country.
John McCain will keep giving tax breaks to companies shipping American jobs overseas…
Barack Obama gets it, he sees the value in American made products and a strong American labor force; He’ll end tax breaks for companies shipping our jobs overseas and give a hard working family a break.
This is John Mellencamp, and I’m proud to support Barack Obama, because whether you live in a small town or a big city, it’s time for a change.
