Mitt Romney’s campaign on Friday released a new television ad that seeks to highlight President Barack Obama’s hypocrisy by resurfacing excerpts from the incumbent’s speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.  

The ad — titled “What Happened?”— couples clips from Obama’s nomination address four years ago in Denver, during which he decried campaign scare tactics, with present-day newspaper headlines that focus on the president’s tough attacks against Romney.
