Obama for America

"Main Street" +

:30 ad from Oct. 15, 2012 run in CO, IA, NV and VA.

[Music] Woman 1: We’ve gone from pulling into our parking lot, which was so depressing—there would be two or three cars in this parking lot—to our parking lot being full.

Woman 2: We have a whole second shift that we brought in, new employees, and we have a future at our plant now.

Man 1: When you look at the president’s plan I don’t think there can be any question that we’re on the right course for today’s economy.

Man 2: President Obama does get what people need and that’s jobs and the opportunity to help themselves.

Man 3: Stick with this guy. He will move us forward.

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

Notes: From the press release...

In Obama for America’s new television ad – “Main Street” – Americans from across the country discuss how President Obama’s policies are helping move our economy forward. When the President took office, we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. But the President’s policies brought us back from the brink and we’re now moving forward again – businesses have added 5.2 million private sector jobs over the past two and a half years, the unemployment rate is at its lowest level since January 2009, and consumer confidence is at a five-year high. The President understands there’s more work to do to get Americans back to work and restore economic security for the middle-class, but as the hard-working Americans in OFA’s new ad highlight, the President’s plans are building an economy meant to last – from the middle out, not the top down.
