McCAIN BRINGS HIS STRAIGHT TALK EXPRESS TO METRO DETROIT

Belleville, MI - John McCain made a campaign stop on Thursday at an auto supplier in Belleville,  to promote his economic plan for Michigan. "Michigan is hurting today. ... Let's face it, America is hurting today, and it's hurting badly, and we have a lot of work to do," stated the presumptive Republican presidential candidate.

About 250 people, filled the shipping and receiving area at Bayloff Stamped Products Company for a town-hall meeting. McCain did his best to answer tough questions from voters on free trade agreements, tax cuts, high gas prices and immigration. McCain struggled with answers while attempting to stick to script.

Presidential opponent Barack Obama responded to the McCain plan in a new TV ad on gas prices, "John McCain’s part of the problem. McCain and Bush support a drilling plan that won’t produce a drop of oil for seven years. McCain will give more tax breaks to big oil. He’s voted with Bush 95% of the time.

Earlier, McCain visited the ever so popular Senate Coney Island in Livonia, where he had breakfast and met with voters and briefly answered questions from reporters.

While McCain was in Michigan, Obama and Hillary Clinton got together Thursday morning for breakfast. On the menu? Money.

The two former rivals attended a Women for Obama breakfast fundraiser in New York. Obama says he and Clinton share a common thread of having to overcome obstacles.

"Hillary and I may have started on separate paths during the course of this campaign, but together, we shared a common experience of shattering barriers that have stood firm since the founding of this nation," Obama said.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee says with the Clintons by his side he can win in November.
