With Obama in Berlin, RNC launches radio ads in a different Berlin

With U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) high-profile overseas trip set to stop in Berlin, the Republican National Committee is putting out its own message in Berlin.

But not the one in Germany where Obama is heading. Rather, an RNC advertisement is airing in American cities of the same name in three battleground states: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and New Hampshire.

Titled "Obama Chooses Washington Over Our Military," the 60-second spot accuses Obama of voting against giving "critical resources" to troops.

"Obama chose Washington politics over the needs of our military," the ads say.

With Obama garnering the vast amount of media attention this week during his trip abroad, the campaign of U.S. Sen. Joihn McCain (R-Ariz.), as well as the national and state Republican parties, have grown increasingly frustrated in their efforts to put their candidate in the spotlight, sending continual e-mails to reporters trying to highlight perceived missteps by the presumptive Democratic nominee during his trip.
