AdWatch: GOP ad questioning Obama's economic stimulus is simplistic, ignores positive impact
By Associated Press, Updated: Friday, July 27, 4:07 PM
WASHINGTON — TITLE: “Again”
LENGTH: 30 seconds.
AIRING: On NBC during the Olympics, national cable and in North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin, Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and Virginia.
KEY IMAGES: “President Obama’s first term economic plan: an $800 billion stimulus,” says a male narrator as a shot of Obama at his desk fills the screen, followed by a clip of Obama saying, “To create three to four million jobs.”
[font size=1]-snip-[/font]
ANALYSIS: The attack ad, from the Republican National Committee, presents a simplistic picture of the stimulus and ignores its positive impact on the economy, including jobs.
Obama’s stimulus, enacted in February 2009, created both public-sector and private-sector jobs, even if not as many as its sponsors had hoped.
