Excellent! In what states is this being broadcast?
Karl Rove’s American Crossroads SuperPAC, which has bought up loads of TV time in Florida, airs virtually every conservative grievance with President Obama’s foreign policy in this new ad: Skipped intelligence briefings and playing 100 rounds of golf; campaign fundraisers after an ambassador is murdered in Libya; cold relations with Israel’s conservative leader amid nuclear-arms tensions with Iran; and “celebrity” ties to David Letterman, Beyonce and Jay-Z.
The ad, which has dark theme music and has the feel of the trailer to a thriller, ends with the picture of empty oval office chairs (a reference to Clint Eastwood’s Republican National Convention speech) and a ringing phone (the 3 am/pm call?).
Expect Democrats to go ballistic, noting that Rove was by President Bush’s side when 9/11 happened and the controversial invasion of Iraq sidetracked the mission in Afghanistan.
