http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/new-obama-ad-pushes-raising-taxes-on-millionaires

The Obama campaign is making the president’s proposal to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire on income over $250,000 a campaign issue in a new ad, the campaign announced Tuesday evening. The ad harkens back to the Bush years with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a growing deficit, portraying Romney’s policies as an extension of George W. Bush’s.

“I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message because to cut the deficit we need everyone to pay their fair share,” Obama says at the end of the ad.

The ad, “Worried,” is up in Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Florida.
