Conservative super-PAC American Crossroads announced Tuesday a new, $11.1 million ad campaign focused around a new commercial that serves as a rebuttal to an Obama campaign ad where the president argues for a "new economic patriotism."
In the president's ad, Obama speaks directly to the camera, and tells voters that if he could sit down with them "in your living room or around the kitchen table," he would draw a contrast between his and Mitt Romney's economic vision.
But in the American Crossroads ad, a woman sitting at a kitchen table interrupts the Obama ad and criticizes him for his economic record.
“Mr. President, here’s what I want to know: Where are the jobs you promised?" the woman says. "The trillions you spent – where did it all go? What’s there to show for all of that new debt? And if we’re in a recovery, why are we making less?”
According to the group, the ad will air in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia, as well as on Pandora Internet radio and the Big 10 and SEC networks.
"President Obama’s economic policies created record trillions of new debt, the weakest recovery in modern history, and gave Americans very little to show for it,” said Crossroads president Steven Law in a statement. “President Obama’s weak leadership has created a weak economy and a weaker America, and it’s time to turn this ship around.”
