President Obamas campaign launched its first ad of his re-election effort on Wednesday night with a commercial that touts his successes on energy and ethics.
Secretive oil billionaires attacking President Obama with ads fact checkers say are not tethered to facts, says the ads narrator. The ad goes on to note that Obamas ethics record is unprecedented and notes that the nations clean energy industry has added 2.7 million jobs.
The commercial is a response to an ad launched on Tuesday by Americans for Prosperity, a conservative group funded by two Kansas billionaires named David and Charles Koch, that slams Obama for his ties to the failed energy company Solyndra.
We will not respond every time a super PAC attacks the President, said a campaign official. The Republican candidates, Karl Rove and the Koch brothers spent more than $30 million on TV attacking the President last year, yet President Obama is competitive ahead of Mitt Romney or neck and neck with him in every single battleground state across the map, before any education has been done about Mitt Romneys record.

DU is going to explode when the "I got Bin Laden" video starts circulating, say, 8 months from now.

(122 posts)The time was purchased in Michigan, Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina all states with significant numbers of electoral votes where the president is expected to wage a hard-fought campaign against the Republican nominee.
I wonder why he left FL off the list? I had no idea Michigan is considered a swing state this year, I always thought Michigan was a must win for dems like the state of Washington.

(1,033 posts)He pretty much singlehandedly saved the state from total economic destruction with the auto bailouts. He's a very divisive figure around here.
I'm sure he'll beat Romney here though because of "Let Detroit go bankrupt" ads.
