Obama for
America Releases New Television Ad: “Main
Street”
CHICAGO – In Obama for America’s new television ad – “Main Street” – Americans from across the country discuss how President Obama’s policies are helping move our economy forward. When the President took office, we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. But the President’s policies brought us back from the brink and we’re now moving forward again – businesses have added 5.2 million private sector jobs over the past two and a half years, the unemployment rate is at its lowest level since January 2009, and consumer confidence is at a five-year high. The President understands there’s more work to do to get Americans back to work and restore economic security for the middle-class, but as the hard-working Americans in OFA’s new ad highlight, the President’s plans are building an economy meant to last – from the middle out, not the top down.
“Main Street” will air in Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, and Virginia.
"We've gone from pulling into our parking lot which was so depressing there would be two or three cars in this parking lot—from a parking lot being full. We have a whole second shift that we brought in new employees—we have a future at our plant now. When you look at the President's plan I don't think there can be any question that we're on the right course for today's economy. President Obama does get what people need and that's jobs and the opportunity to help themselves. Stick with this guy he will move us forward."
