Obama for America

"Trust" +

:30 ad from Oct. 4, 2012, run in CO, FL, IA, NV, NH, OH and VA.


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

[Music]

Romney (clip from debate): "I'm not in favor of a $5 trillion tax cut.  That's not my plan."

Andrea Mitchell: “The Nonpartisan Tax Policy Center concluded that Mitt Romney’s tax plan would cost $4.8 trillion over 10 years.”

Male Announcer: Why won’t Romney level with us about his tax plan, which gives the wealthy huge new tax breaks?

Because according to experts, he’d have to RAISE taxes on the middle class – or increase the deficit to pay for it.

If we can’t trust him here…  How could we ever trust him here?

Notes: From the press release:

Coming out of last night’s debate, Obama for America released a new television advertisement today titled “Trust” to highlight how Mitt Romney still won’t level with the American people about his tax plan. Yesterday, Romney denied the very existence of his $5 trillion plan weighted toward the wealthy because he knows it would mean devastating consequences for the middle-class. As nonpartisan experts have said, Romney would have to raise taxes on the middle-class or increase the deficit to pay for it. If the American people can’t trust him to tell the truth at a presidential debate, how can they trust him in the Oval Office?
