This statement comes on top of the attempts by Barack Obama and his Congressional allies to cut off funding for our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Whether it is making reckless statements about our military or trying to prevent them from having the equipment they need, it is clear that Barack Obama is dangerous for our country. The ad will be televised nationally.
