Obama has no honor... The same distortion by Obama does not bother you... You do not care about honor, as evidenced by your own posts here...think about it Kenneth, have you always been like this? Is this how you want to be remembered, as a dishonest individual? You are doing a good job of it, if this is what you want. Interviews with Wilmington-area workers whose jobs rely on the DHL hub. McCain getting off a plane. A headline in the Los Angeles Times: "DHL Deal Gone Sour Haunts McCain in Ohio." Obama speaking to a crowd. ANALYSIS: It's possible for every fact in a political ad to be true, but the sum total to be misleading. Such is the case with this ad. True: Sen. McCain did attempt to kill a Senate amendment that would have made it difficult - if not impossible - for DHL, owned by Deutsche Post of Germany, to take over Airborne Express. True: As first reported in The Plain Dealer Aug. 6, Airborne Express and DHL paid McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, $185,000 in 2003 to lobby for the merger, according to lobbyist disclosure reports. True: In May, DHL announced it would contract with UPS to fly its packages, potentially leading to the loss of 8,200 Ohio jobs at DHL's Wilmington hub. Now, connect the dots: 8,200 jobs may be lost because of McCain. That kind of implied cause-and-effect - a standard tactic in negative campaign ads - is misleading. It's impossible to know whether the Ohio jobs would be more secure under an American-owned DHL. The same foreign owners made significant investments - and added 1,000 jobs - in Wilmington after the merger. And it's not as if the jobs are going overseas: Unlike manufacturing, the delivery of packages in the United States is a service that can't be outsourced. In fact, UPS said, the DHL deal will result in an unspecified number of additional jobs in Louisville. And while the lobbying connection appears too close for comfort, McCain has a record of opposing nongermane amendments - especially when they're inserted into bills late in the game. In this case, an Alaska senator (Ted Stevens, a Republican now under indictment) tried to insert the amendment into an Iraq war spending bill. That's why Factcheck.org, the independent political truth squad at the independent Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, said the ads "paint a false picture" and "go too far."
