Obama Camp Rebuts Karl Rove In New Video

Obama Camp Rebuts Karl Rove In New Video

Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter has recorded a 3-minute video to rebut the claims from the latest anti-Obama ad from Crossroads GPS, the nonprofit affiliate of Karl Rove’s American Crossroads.

In the video, Cutter goes through several areas where she says the ad distorts the president’s record, from helping home-owners in the housing crises, cutting taxes for the middle class, what health care reform does, and his record on the deficit. Though the video is aimed at Rove, Cutter also manages to throw some elbows Mitt Romney’s way as well, juxtaposing Romny’s position on taxes, health care reform, and the deficit with Obama’s.

<...>

Cutter ends with a plea to “get the president’s back.” Rove is “relying on you doing nothing to call out his BS,” Cutter says, asking viewers to spread the word and repost the video on their various social media outlets.

The Crossroads GPS ad is part of a $25 million ad campaign going up today attacking President Obama in key battleground states.

No glitz, no distracting music, etc., just straight facts rebutting the lies. I love how she repeatedly points out it is Karl Rove doing this. It is excellent use of the social media as well, imo.
