Obama campaign releasing new TV ad attacking Romney’s tax comments

Posted at: 09/24/2012 7:05 AM

The Obama campaign is releasing a new TV ad blasting republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and comments he made about Americans who don't pay income taxes.

The ad, which begins airing today in Ohio, argues that Romney should stop attacking others on taxes and come clean with his own record.

Romney did release his 2011 tax returns on Friday. He will be campaigning in Ohio this week.

Last week, a video surfaced of Romney telling people at a private fundraiser that 47-percent of Americans who don't pay income taxes believe they are victims.

During a campaign stop Sunday in Denver, Mitt Romney told his supporters President Obama will be spending a lot of time outside of Washington after Election Day. “Well, I tell ya what, this has been an interesting week. The president was being interviewed and I guess he said something a little unusual. He said, you know, you can't change Washington from the inside, you can only change it from the outside. We're going to give him that chance on November 6."

President Obama and the First Lady will be in New York City Monday.
