Obama for America

"Swiss Bank Account" +
0:30 ad run starting May 1, 2012 in IA, OH and VA.  

Obama: I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

[Music] Male Announcer: "Over the top," "erroneous," "out of context."  Big oil's new attack ad.

President Obama's clean energy initiatives have helped create jobs across America, but not overseas.

What about Mitt Romney? 

As a corporate CEO he shipped American jobs to places like Mexico and China. 

As governor he outsourced state jobs to a call center in India.

He's still pushing tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.

It's just what you'd expect from a guy who had a Swiss bank account.


Notes: This ad begins with a response to the Americans for Prosperity ad "Wasteful Spending" which claims "Billions of taxpayer dollars spent on green energy went to jobs in foreign countries.  After rejecting that claim, the ad goes on to hit Romney for shipping jobs overseas.

According to the Obama campaign's description...

"Swiss Bank Account" highlights Mitt Romney's belief that a strong economy is built on outsourcing, loopholes and risky financial deals. As a corporate CEO, he shipped American jobs to places like Mexico and China. As governor, Romney outsourced state jobs to India, and now as a candidate for president he is pushing tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.

Romney's economic scheme stands in stark contrast with President Obama's efforts to continue moving the country forward by rebuilding an economy that's meant to last, by out-building, out-innovating and out-educating the rest of the world, and making the things the rest of the world buys by closing loopholes and providing incentives that are bringing jobs back to America.
