"Facts" - Obama for America TV Ad

&feature=player_embedded

Mitt Romney and running mate Paul Ryan, subject of a new ad by President Barack Obama's reelection campaign.
President Barack Obama's reelection campaign is joining the Medicare ad wars, with a major new television advertisement airing in eight battleground states.

Titled "Facts," the spot responds to an argument made by the Mitt Romney campaign (included in an ad of its own) that the president's health care law raids or robs Medicare of more than $700 billion. It uses AARP, the senior citizens lobby, as an independent validator for claims that the president's reforms actually strengthen the program, while the proposals by the GOP ticket would undermine it.

"Mitt Romney continues to mislead the American people about President Obama’s record on Medicare -– and skip the truth about his own plan to eliminate the guarantee of Medicare and provide people with a voucher to buy health care instead," said a statement from Obama campaign spokesman Adam Fetcher announcing the ad.
