New Clinton Ad Hits Obama on Gas Tax, Housing

Hillary Clinton is running a negative ad in North Carolina.

The ad, titled “Trouble,” began running in the state last night. It criticizes Barack Obama over the nation’s housing crisis and the high price of gasoline. The ad says that Obama opposed a freeze on home foreclosures and opposes suspending the gas tax this summer. The ad is also running in Indiana.

It is the first negative TV ad by either candidate in North Carolina. You can watch it above.

Meanwhile, Clinton launched another new ad today — a decidedly positive one — featuring Wake Forest University poet Maya Angelou. You can watch that ad here.
