Lis Smith, a spokesperson for the Obama campaign, said that Mitt Romney’s new ad, in which he says he will help poor and middle-class Americans, is nothing more than “lip service” in a statement released Wednesday.
“Mitt Romney’s new ad is just more of the evasiveness that his campaign has become known for. He pays lip service to working Americans, but doesn’t name a single policy to strengthen the middle class. That’s because he’d cut tax deductions the middle class relies on, like those for mortgage interest, children, and charitable contributions, in order to pay for $250,000 tax cuts for multi-millionaires. He’d turn Medicare into a voucher program, increasing costs for seniors by as much as $6,400 a year. And he’d slash investments in education and clean energy that would create jobs and grow our economy. With 41 days left, Mitt Romney has limited time to level with the American people about what he’d do if elected. As each day passes, he continues to fail to do that.”
