Koch-Backed Group To Release $6 Million Swift Boat Style Campaign Vs. Obama
13 January 2012 | 5:43 pm EST

Americans for Prosperity, a conservative group bankrolled by the multimillionaire Koch brothers, is about to unleash a $6 million dollar ad campaign in order to attack President Obama.

The ads, described by ABC reporter Jake Tapper as contaning “claims that are not tethered to facts,” will attempt to compare the bankruptcy of solar energy company Solyndra (who received federal funds) to the corporate raider career of Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney.

No, we should not back off Bain/Romney. We should pour it to them.

Seeking to Muddy Waters on Layoffs, Conservative Group Unleashing $6 Million Ad Campaign Against President Obama* and Solyndra
-Jake Tapper

<..> The campaign will be the first multimillion-dollar TV ad buy of 2012 attacking President Obama, in what will no doubt prove a long year full of nasty political attacks.

The campaign will focus $5 million in TV ads that will start running Monday afternoon on network and cable outlets in battleground states Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin. The group thought about running the ads in Florida, but decided against it since the Sunshine State’s airwaves are saturated with ads about the January 31 GOP primary. An additional $1 million-plus will buy ads on social media websites.

This ad picks up where AFP’s last ad left off. Last Fall the group launched a $2.4 million ad campaign against President Obama also focusing on the Solyndra controversy.

<..> “We wanted to roll this out before the State of the Union,” AFP president Tim Phillips told ABC News. “We anticipate that the president is going to launch back into this class warfare/envy assault that he’s been doing for several months now. We want citizens to know he’s the one taking care of his very-well heeled donors and contributors with taxpayer money. It’s a good counterpoint for folks to know that.”

Obama supports subsidies for fledgling companies in alternative energy to create jobs, provide a path for the future, and reverse climate change.

Romney says he doesn't - but then pretends he's created jobs with a company that used the subsidies he says he hates - and exploited workers and harmed the planet in the process.

Good way to look at it. Plus Mitt might have personally made money off the subsidies in his paychecks and bonuses.
