GOP ad attack

WASHINGTON — President Obama can brace for a hard-hitting TV ad blitz next week, with testimonials from voters disappointed after supporting him in 2008.

A pro-Romney super PAC, Americans for Prosperity, is spending $6 million to flood the airwaves with the ad for the next two weeks, with extra-heavy rotations in Florida and North Carolina during the party conventions in those states.“The president is doing a mediocre job,” says a black voter named Alex in the ad. “The economy, in my opinion, is still the same as it was four years ago … I have not received the ‘hope and change’ that I believed in 2008.”
