The pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future has debuted its largest-ever ad buy, going after President Obama’s record, Politico reports. The ad begins with the high unemployment rate and accuses Obama of not having a record to run on. The size of the ad buy is $10.48 million and it is running in 11 swing states, including Michigan and Wisconsin.

“Another month. Even more Americans jobless,” a narrator says in the ad. “If you had President Obama’s record, what would you do?” The ad then uses a series of clips of Obama. “Would you joke? [Obama clip:] ‘Shovel ready was not as, uh, shovel ready as we expected.’ Deny reality? [Obama clip:] ‘We tried our plan, and it worked.’ Even insist? [Obama clip:] ‘The private sector is doing fine.’ Or do what Obama’s allies are doing now — launch ‘shameful,’ ‘dishonest’ attacks? With no record to run on, it’s the only strategy Obama has left.”
