Obama promotes 'economic patriotism' in 2-minute battleground ad

Published December 23, 2015

President Obama is pitching a broad economic argument to voters ahead of next week's debate with Republican opponent Mitt Romney, buying TV time in seven battleground states to promote what he calls a "new economic patriotism."

In a two-minute ad, Obama looks into the camera as he promotes an economic plan he says will create 1 million manufacturing jobs, cut oil imports and hire thousands of new teachers.

The ad is set to air in New Hampshire, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada and Colorado. It comes as Obama and Republican Mitt Romney shadow each other while looking for votes in a closely contested race.

On Thursday, the two candidates are scheduled to campaign in the same state for the third straight day, this time in Virginia.
