Republican US presidential hopeful John McCain has accused rival Barack Obama of offering oil companies tax breaks, at a rally in Defiance, Ohio.



The attack came as oil company Exxon Mobil reported record profits, and new figures showed US GDP shrinking.



Obama who is campaigning in Florida says McCain will continue the economic policies of President George Bush.



Former Vice-President Al Gore will hold rallies for Obama tomorrow in Florida, the state he narrowly lost in 2000.
