WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney's first general-election TV commercial promises he would introduce tax cuts and approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline on Day One of his presidency.

The Republican candidate's campaign released the ad Friday, coupling it with a fundraising pitch. The 30-second pitch is upbeat, in contrast to a spot President Barack Obama's campaign is running that criticizes Romney as a businessman. Romney has called the Obama ad "character assassination."

In Romney's commercial, his first since becoming the presumptive nominee, an announcer asks, "What would a Romney presidency be like?"

"Day One: President Romney immediately approves the Keystone pipeline, creating thousands of jobs that Obama blocked," the announcer declares, referring to a pipeline that Obama has delayed, which Republicans insist shows that Obama is hostile to the energy industry.

Clean the litter box, I can do more important things.

The ads will go down from here.

3. I rarely watch TV (only ads I ever see are pro-Walker) Has Obama any TV ads?

4. Yes

I saw one here in Virginia defending his energy policies against a Romney attack and mentioning how Romney ships jobs overseas. Then hits him on having a Swiss Bank Account.

7. There is one playing in NC

That is silent and shows a bar graph in red then blue over time pointing out the drop in the economy under bush and the recovery under Obama

5. Hmmmm

So in other words he wants to go back to the Bush policies, cater to big oil, de-regulate, and give tax cuts to the rich, that worked so well the last time, right?

The guy is a complete idiot, what else can you say when he wants to return to the same policies that took us into the worst recession in history!
