Will Team Obama come clean on new ad?

Posted at 3:16 on May 11, 2012
There are a few questions about Obama’s latest ad. Obama claimed to have helped the star of his latest ad campaign get a job even though his Facebook page says he was employed since 2006. Can Team Obama verify they helped him with his job? It’s interesting his Facebook page would change when questions were asked. Also, is this the best Stimulus success story the administration can point to? A company that took $299 million in taxpayer dollars only to close a factory and outsource ...
