One of the many super PACs that are pouring millions into advertising for the presidential election just a few days away hit the Toledo market with a newspaper ad that Democrats are decrying as full of half-truths and lies.
Empower Citizens Network PAC, which is registered in Akron, purchased a full-page advertisement in The Blade’s Oct. 25 edition making many claims against President Obama and Democrats.
Among the claims made by the ad is that the Obamas throw lavish parties at the White House for “socialist friends” that include flying in $100-per-pound Kobe beef from Japan; the President’s $800 billion stimulus did not produce any net jobs, and that “this deep recession was not caused by the Bush tax cuts, Republican lax regulation, or Wall Street greed.”
Instead, it said the nation’s financial troubles were caused by the subprime mortgage collapse that it says was created by Democrats. It blamed presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, along with Janet Reno, Franklin Raines, Chris Dodd, and Barney Frank.
