CORNING - A campaign ad by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has drawn fire from Corning Incorporated over its reference to the 2004 closure of a Corning glass plant.
In the commercial, a narrator blames Republican opponent John McCain for sending jobs overseas to China, including jobs at the glass plant in State College, Pennsylvania.
"Corning shuts down its plant in Pennsylvania, hundreds lose their jobs, then the workers are rehired to disassemble the plant and ship the equipment to China. Washington sold them out with the help of people like John McCain," the ad states.
However, Corning Inc. spokeswoman Kelli Hopp-Michlosky said those jobs were never sent to China. She said the plant closed because it made cathode ray tubes, and since the company no longer makes CRTs, those jobs were not needed elsewhere.
"We have been in touch with the Obama campaign on this expressing our displeasure and presenting all the facts so they see how misleading the ad appears. We will continue to speak with them on this," Mopp-Michlosky said
A phone call to the Obama campaign seeking comment was not immediately returned.

I’m baaaack and watching Governor Sarah Palin’s interview with Sean Hannity
Yes, I am too. She has her hair down.
.
She’s very at ease and relaxed
Seems like ages ago that you managed to save this one. Don’t see others post it.

That’s a good banner I grabbed from that Chicago Muslim website
Yeah - Sarah Palin would have Alan Colmes all flustered and stuttering
She did it to Gibson!
His face got strange and he could hardly answer when she said “In what respect CHARLIE?”
I heard on FNC a hint of what I read on Michelle Malkin’s website
FBI/SS is looking at a “person of interest” - son of a Tennessee democrat politician - (Congressman)
On Malkin’s website some stuff he himself put on a website about he had mental/pysch problems....
After realizing he put up screencaps with info on it the fuzz would use to catch him - he started working on the “innocent but confused young boy” alibi I guess
He is supposed to be a big Obama Cultist - 20 years old?
Daddy is an elected democrat politician?
NASHVILLE - State Rep. Mike Kernell -D,
Lol, I had just sent you that and the link to the article. The boy is in college.
In an earlier article I had copied this;
The alleged hacker, using the e-mail address rubico10@yahoo.com, posted Wednesday to a forum on the website 4chan about how he used Yahoo! Mail’s password-recovery tool to obtain the Alaska’s governor password.
“i am the lurker who did it, and i would like to tell the story,” rubico10@yahoo.com wrote.

State Rep. - my memory is coming back
Yup
He’s the little creep
Some hackers have done hard time for their hobby
And banned from using a computer
Hacking the personal email accounts of a VP candidate and publishing the screenpix and sending dupes to the UP is a bigtime offense - esp. while Muslim terrorists here and abroad are interested in her travel schedules, addresses, cellphone numbers
If he did it to me I would not call the FBI or SS
I’d think of something
[my memory is coming back]
That’s good, makes life a little easier, lol!
I’m very glad YOU can’t be hacked!!
Obama is turning out to be quite the prolific liar. Is there a list somewhere of his lies? It would make good e-mail fodder.

Bill Gates has a nice tight setup for us dinky internet receiver people
I cannot understand why PCs cannot be designed to be virus proof like WebTVs and MSN-TVs
karl Rove putting up his electoral map now on Greta
Karl has McCain/Pain ahead - but sez “Advantage Obama”
Sandbagging the Cripes & Bloods & Muzzies!
The “Socialist Racist Thug Effect” will be Obama’s downfall in November
Chuckles about the idiot KS Governor’s staff telling FNC “Obama owns her words!”
Just like hacking, those who put out that stuff are smart and keep devising new ways to do it.
They also sponsor a traveling glass-blowing show which I saw at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. It's neat to see how the hot glass is worked.
