Obama is clearly trying to appeal to Republicans and independents to change course, as he did in North Carolina.

"This is not an argument between left or right, liberal or conservative. It is not liberal or conservative to say that we have tried it their way for eight long years, and it has failed. It is time to try something new. It is time for a change."

Obama said McCain would continue Bush administration economic policies he called "the most fiscally irresponsible in history."

Obama said he, on the other hand, would grant a tax break to most working families, and raise taxes on the highest-earning Americans.

Speaking at a fundraiser in Virginia, McCain pushed back, saying tax increases on anyone would worsen the already struggling economy. He repeated his offer for Obama to join him in a series of town hall meetings. McCain also issued the call in a speech last week.

参考译文：

正如奥巴马在北卡罗来纳州所做的，很明显，他想努力吸引共和党人和独立选民改变立场。

“这不是左与右之间，自由和保守之间的辩论。我们已经尝试他们的（经济）路线8年了，但是它失败了，这不是自由党和保守派的问题。是时候尝试些新的了。这是改变的时刻。”

奥巴马说麦凯恩将会继续布什政府的经济政策，该政策被他称为“历史上最不负责的财政政策。”

另一方面，奥巴马说自己将减免多数工人家庭的税收，并且提高美国最高收入群体的税收。

在弗吉尼亚的一个资金筹集活动中，麦凯恩回击了奥巴马。他说提高对任何群体的纳税都将使现在勉强维持的经济更为糟糕。他再一次邀请奥巴马与他一起参与一系列的市政会议。麦凯恩也在上周的一次演讲中发表了相同的邀请。
