Claim: A new TV ad from Crossroads GPS features an actress playing a downcast mother of two jobless adult children. She says "things changed for the worse" after she supported Barack Obama for president. Her voice is soft, and so is the background music — but her situation is unlikely; her opinions are harsh; and her facts are one-sided and not always accurate. This 60-second ad is the second in an announced $25 million campaign to soften up the president in key battleground states.
