In a move that signals a major new effort to woo elderly voters to Obama, the AFL-CIO is dropping a scorching new mailer in battleground states hammering John McCain on Social Security and directly referencing McCain's wealth, his corporate jet, and his expensive Italian shoes.

"McCain's worth over $100 million," reads the mailer, which we obtained in advance of its public release. "He owns 10 houses...he flies around on a $12.6 million corporate jet...he walks around in $520 Italian loafers."

"If John McCain lost his social security, he'd get by just fine," the mailer continues. "Would you?" Click on the images below to enlarge:

Thanks for the idea.

I wish people would realize that the privitizing of Social Security is the equivalent of the government dumping a lot of money onto the stock market. It would benefit a lot of the largest corporations and the CEO's running them.

If you think that the government bailing out a few financial institutions is bad, this would be a bailout across the board.

She also describes how she needs the help of all labor unions to win in November...
