Crossroads Ad Crucifies Obama on Fundraising in Vegas, Skipping Netanyahu in Favor of The View

On the President's failures...

Since World War II, America has been the leader of the Free World. We're unique in having earned that role not through conquest but through promoting human rights, free markets and the rule of law. We ally ourselves with like-minded countries, expand prosperity through trade and keep the peace by maintaining a military second to none.

But in recent years, President Obama has allowed our leadership to atrophy. Our economy is stuck in a "recovery" that barely deserves the name. Our national debt has risen to record levels. Our military, tested by a decade of war, is facing devastating cuts thanks to the budgetary games played by the White House. Finally, our values have been misapplied—and misunderstood—by a president who thinks that weakness will win favor with our adversaries.

By failing to maintain the elements of our influence and by stepping away from our allies, President Obama has heightened the prospect of conflict and instability. He does not understand that an American policy that lacks resolve can provoke aggression and encourage disorder.

Crossroads GPS did this very good ad, below. My one reservation is that it appears to be an add intended to simply be emailed (the 1:22 running time is very nonstandard for TV, or even forced-play on YouTube).

I sure hope they adapt this for television airing, or at the very least, YouTube placement before other videos.

Otherwise it's just wank material.
