The conservative group Crossroads GPS has announced a new $9.7 million ad buy in their campaign against President Obama. The ad will run on network affiliates in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, according to the group’s press release.
The ad is part of their ongoing $25 million campaign, following up on last week’s “Obama’s Promise” ad and its $8 million buy. That ad claimed Obama broke a promise not to raise taxes for families that earn under $250,000 a year, a claim FactCheck.org called “almost entirely false.”
The new spot features a mother whose children have grown up, only to move back home after college: “I always loved watching the kids play basketball. I still do — even though things have changed. It’s funny, they can’t find jobs to get their careers started. And I can’t afford to retire. And now, we’re all living together again.
“I supported President Obama because he spoke so beautifully. He promised change — but things changed for the worse. Obama started spending like our credit cards have no limit. His health care law made health insurance even more expensive. We’ve had stimulus, and bailouts. Obama added almost $16,000 in debt for every American. How will my kids pay that off, when they can’t even find jobs? Now, Obama wants more spending and taxes. That won’t fix things.
“I had so many hopes. Cutting taxes and debt, and creating jobs — that’s the change we need. Tell President Obama to cut the job-killing debt, and support the New Majority Agenda, at NewMajorityAgenda.org.”
