Romney for President, Inc.

"Hope and Change" +
:30 ad from July 15, 2012. 

[Static] Bob Schieffer, CBS News: "[W]hen the president was elected, he talked about hope and change. Whatever happened to hope and change? Now it seems he’s just coming right out of the box with these old-fashioned, negative ads.”

[Static] David Brooks, The New York Times: “[B]y starting negative, by going extremely tough and extremely hard, looking conventional, and frankly running ads that are inaccurate.”

[Static] Mark Halperin, Time Magazine: “Barack Obama’s campaign and allies will run more negative ads against this Republican nominee, in 2012, than have ever been run in the history of the world.”

[Static] Bob Schieffer, CBS News: “Whatever happened to hope and change?”

[Static] Romney (voiceover): I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message.

Notes: According to the press release, "It seems like a lifetime ago that Candidate Obama was talking about hope and change. Today, after four years of broken promises, President Obama is left to simply run 'negative' and 'inaccurate' ads."
