Crossroads announces $2.3 million stimulus-Obama basher FL ad-buy
Crossroads GPS announced it'll spend $2.3 million in Florida as part of its multi-state $25 million effort to defeat President Obama. The spot, which will run for about 10 days starting today, takes aim at the stimulus.
Note: The Congressional Budget Office and many economists don't view the stimulus as failed, per se, because it helped stabilize many government jobs (certainly that was the case in Florida). But it sure didn't stimulate the economy as much as bailout state and local governments temporarily. And dit didn't keep unemployment below 8 percent, as the president's team has announced. So failure could be a matter of political perspective.
