New "face-to-face" Romney ad airing in Wisconsin
A new ad from Mitt Romney airing in Wisconsin features Mitt Romney talking directly to the camera about the failures of the Obama administration on the economy.
The 60-second TV ad, titled "Too Many Americans," begins with Romney saying that too many Americans are having trouble finding jobs and many of those with jobs are living "paycheck-to-paycheck." He also says that more Americans are in poverty and on food stamps than four years ago.
"President Obama and I both care about poor and middle-class families," Romney said. "The difference is, my policies will make things better for them.We shouldn't measure compassion by how many people are on welfare. We should measure compassion by how people are able to get off welfare and get a good-paying job."
Romney then says his plan will create 12 million new jobs, strengthening the middle class.
The ad ends with Romney saying that "we can't afford another four years like the last four years."
