Obama for America

"Balanced" +

:30 ad from Aug. 2, 2012. 

[Music] Male Announcer: The choice on debt.

Mitt Romney's plan: huge tax cuts for millionaires, tax breaks for oil companies and corporations that ship jobs overseas, adding trillions to the deficit.

President Obama's plan: a balanced approach that asks the wealthy to pay a little more, eliminates tax breaks for outsourcing and oil subsidies, cuts government spending, and reduces the deficit by four trillion.

Two plans. Your choice.

Obama (voiceover): I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

Notes: Similar, including some of the same imagery, to "Two Plans" (July 11), but notice how the focus has shifted from taxes to deficits and the debt.
