This week, Obama released his first television ad for his re-election campaign. The ad was in response to attacks coming from a Republican group saying that Obama conducted pay-for-play politics concerning the bankruptcy of the California energy company Solyndra. Obama's ad reinforced that he kept his promise to toughen ethics rules and strengthen the American economy. The ad was released in Michigan, Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, Iowa, Wisconsin and cable television networks. Obama has raised more than $220 million for his campaign, and we can definitely expect more from him. This ad was to help prepare for criticism from Republican groups and to prepare for Mitt Romney (it looks like he will come out victorious in South Carolina.) Obama will begin to get on the campaign trail in order to discuss the policies included in his re election campaign. Americans must remember that Obama did not create the problems our county is in. He inherited them, and he is doing his best to correct them. He's dealing with criticism from all fronts and extreme stubborness from Republicans, making it difficult to achieve any work. However, he is trying to get the job done. For the GOP candidates, they should start working on how they plan to defeat Obama. Obama is wasting no time in getting on the campaign trail, and the final GOP candidate will have no time to rest when it comes to ensuring Obama stays a one term president.
