Obama Campaign Whacks Romney On Auto Bailout With Michigan TV Ad [VIDEO]

Barack Obama’s re-election campaign rolled out a new television ad in Michigan Thursday, slamming Republican presidential frontrunner and native son Mitt Romney for dancing on the Detroit auto industry’s grave instead of supporting the 2008 bailout that has brought it back to life.

With the Republican state primary less than week away, the ad is a transparent attempt to get under Romney’s skin, and also takes advantage of a convenient opportunity to tout a success in a state that has seen real economic gains since 2009:

The ad comes on the heels of a fresh poll showing 56 percent of Americans now agree with the president that the auto bailouts were good for the economy, sharply up from two years ago when just 38 percent said so.

Consider this the Obama campaign’s sequel to the Clint Eastwood ‘Imported From Detroit’ Superbowl commercial, which proved a big favorite with viewers.

Mike Johnson (R-LA), using the Motion to Vacate she filed last month. She told Fox viewers she wanted to return to her House district to “listen to voters” before acting, however.

Trump's Hour On CNN Was A Profile In Cowardice

Vanity Fair recently reported that several journalists from mainstream publications, including The Washington Post, NBC News, Axios, and Vanity Fair, were denied press access to Trump’s campaign events, seemingly in retaliation for their previous critical coverage. Meanwhile, Media Matters found that the campaign has granted press credentials to the QAnon-promoting MG Show and Brenden Dilley, a podcaster who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory and leads a “meme team” that creates pro-Trump content.
