RNC releases two ads to run in Wisconsin knocking Obama
The RNC today released two TV ads it said will run in Wisconsin knocking the president for raising taxes, breaking his promises and failing to get more people back to work.
One of the spots opens with a crowd chanting Obama's name during the 2008 race as the narrators asks viewers what if the crowd had been chanting their name and "had given you the power?"
The narrator then asks if they would have spent trillions overhauling health care while millions were without work, tried creating jobs by creating debt, and raised taxes and broken your promises.
"Now you do have the power ... to make a change," the narrator says to close the spot.
The second spot opens with the president saying, "We tried their plan. We tried our plan, and it worked."
The announcer then says there are over 23 million people unemployed, underemployed or "have given up hope" with unemployment at 8 percent for 40 straight months and a 45 percent increase in the number of people who need food stamps.
"If President Obama's plan worked, how come so many Americans aren't working?" the narrator asks to close the spot.
