If a new ad from Americans United for Change is any indication — and given the group’s history of being on message with the White House and the Democratic Party, it is — then the fight over President Obama’s plans for financial reform is going to get pretty messy.
The group released a new ad on the subject Monday; it’s essentially an attack ad, with big banks as the targets. They’re all depicted as pigs that were, the narrator says, “first in line at the trough for their taxpayer bailout – and back to their old piggish ways in no time.”
The spot will be running on cable in Washington, D.C., which means it’s aimed specifically at opinion makers and legislators.
