Claim: An American Crossroads TV ad claims Obama's position on taxes is "different" than it was in 2009. It isn't. The conservative group began airing a new TV ad in St. Louis on Oct. 3 in advance of the president's fundraising trip to Missouri. The ad, titled "Don't," urges Obama not to raise taxes. But it distorts the president's position on taxes two years ago by taking a snippet of an Obama interview in August 2009 and using it out of context.
