WATCH: Obama Campaign Slams Romney In New Ads

President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign is releasing two new television ads that will air in nine battleground states, both of which hammer Mitt Romney for his economic record as governor of Massachusetts.

The first ad, called “Mosaic,” attacks Romney for raising fees over 1,000 times during his four years as governor.

The second, “Come And Go,” slams Romney for outsourcing jobs both in Massachusetts and at Bain Captial.

The ads reflect the Obama campaign’s eagerness to invoke Romney’s actual record as governor, a topic that Romney himself seems hesitant to discuss. The ads also both invoke the Obama campaign’s favorite slogan for attacking Romney’s record: “Romney Economics: it didn’t work then, and it won’t work now.”

Former Georgia Republican Party chair David Shafer

One of the great ironies – and there are more than a few – in the case in Georgia against Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants is the law being used against them: The Georgia RICO, or Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations Act. The original RICO Act, passed by Congress in 1970, was meant to make it easier for the Department of Justice to go after crimes committed by the Mafia and drug dealers. The first time the Georgia RICO law was used after it was passed in 1980 was in a prosecution of the so-called Dixie Mafia, a group of white criminals in the South who engaged in crimes of moving stolen goods and liquor and drug dealing.
