ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT RELEASES RADIO AD, “OUR NAVY - VIRGINIA”Boston, MA – Today, Romney for President released a new radio ad titled “Our Navy - Virginia.” Our Navy is smaller now than at any time since 1917. For Mitt Romney, that’s a problem. For President Obama, it’s a chance to deliver a punch line.
AD FACTS: Script For “Our Navy - Virginia”:
MITT ROMNEY: “Our Navy now is smaller than any time since 1917. The Navy said they needed 313 ships to carry out their mission; we’re now down to 285. …That’s unacceptable to me.”
VOICEOVER: “To Mitt Romney, that’s a problem. To President Obama, it’s a chance to deliver a punch line.”
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: “[W]e also have fewer horses and bayonets…”
VOICEOVER: “The state of our Navy, the state of our entire U.S. military, is crucial for America. Our freedom depends on it. And so do many of our jobs, 136,000 in Virginia alone. Does President Obama know how much his defense cuts will hurt us? Sure, his flippant remarks insult Mitt Romney, but do they also expose how President Obama views the world and America’s place in it?”
VOICEOVER: “As Commander-in-Chief, Mitt Romney will reverse Obama’s defense cuts. He will invest in our military, creating jobs, and defending our freedom.”
MITT ROMNEY: “I’m Mitt Romney, I’m running for President and I approve this message.”
VOICEOVER: “Paid for by Romney for President, Incorporated.”
