The Obama campaign is debuting the first in a series of new positive ads to highlight the economic and policy achievements of Obama’s first term and frame the election narrative.
The first ad, “Go,” takes viewers through the last four years, including the recession, then job growth, the auto-industry bailout and the killing of Osama bin Laden. The Romney campaign accuses Obama of not running on his record, but senior adviser David Axelrod said Sunday that this “extensive ad campaign” will do just that.
“Go” will air in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nevada, New Hampshire, Iowa, North Carolina, Florida and Colorado.
Watch:
RNC Chair Reince Priebus hit back with the following statement: “For someone whose campaign slogan is ‘forward,’ President Obama spends a lot of time looking backward and blaming others for the state of the American economy. While Obama may want you to forget he’s been president for the past three and a half years, the fact that his policies have wreaked havoc on the middle class from high unemployment, high energy and higher education costs won’t be forgotten. America deserves better than Obama’s brand of hype and blame.”
