The new Romney attack ads...

Here in Colorado, it is not unusual to see 3 campaign ads continuously on the television. Yesterday, I noticed that the Romney campaign has a new ad out and it is focusing solely on the economy. It shows the desolate faces of some unemployed and states that Barack Obama said he would create 4 million new jobs. It shows stats where unemployment has been over 8% for more than 40 months. It says we are spending $4 billion dollars a day and adding it to the debt. It is a hard-hitting ad that will get the attention of the lesser-informed voters. In my opinion, it is a very effective ad.

That is why I think the Obama campaign will need to respond in kind. They cannot assume that voters remember the economy of 4 years ago. They will need to be reminded of why we have this debt and why we have such high unemployment and why the economy has not recovered to where it should be. It is understandable that the White House does not want to discuss the economy but, in my opinion, they should.
