President Obama warned a Florida rally today against what he predicted would be a flood of negative ads (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/07/when-going-negative-becomes-a-positive-the-note/) from Republicans even as he was cited for his own barrage of negative ads.
The president told about 3,000 supporters in the Prime F. Osborne III Convention Center that Republicans will be "spending more money than we have ever seen in our lifetimes" airing ads to oppose his vision and attack the administration for an economic mess inherited in 2009.
"Florida, I've been outspent before, and I've been counted out before. But through every campaign, what has always given me hope is the American people. You have the ability to cut through all that nonsense," he said.
"When we push aside all the talk and all the politics and get down to that core of what it means to be American, all that money doesn't matter. All those negative ads (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/top-memorable-attack-ad-flops/story?id=16810912#.UAhwfmGe7Sh) don't matter," he said. "When you come together, you cannot be stopped."
Left unmentioned in Obama's speech is his own campaign's ad flood of ads. The Miami Herald has estimated he has spent $17 million on ads in the Sunshine State and most of them have been negative, the paper concluded.
