Conservative Group Hammers Obama in New Ad

On Wednesday, Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (Crossroads GPS), a conservative political group affiliated with Republican strategist Karl Rove, unveiled a new ad that will run in Florida and nine other battleground states that hammers President Barack Obamas record on economic issues.

Crossroads GPS has sunk $25 million -- including $1.5 million in the Sunshine State -- on the ad, which will start airing on Thursday and will run until the end of May. The ad is also being run in nine other states that Obama carried in 2008 which Republicans hope to carry in November -- Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

President Obama made commitments on core issues to the American people, and this ad holds him to account, insisted Steven Law, the former deputy secretary of Labor who is now the president of Crossroads GPS. Our country faces serious economic and fiscal problems which require practical solutions and not just promises. If we dont hold Washington politicians accountable, we wont fix these problems that are holding our country back.
