Obama on the air again in N.C.


Barack Obama is on the air in North Carolina again.

The Democratic presidential nominee will begin airing a 60-second ad, "Country I Love," in 18 states starting tomorrow.

The ad notes Obama's upbringing by a single mother and his grandparents, stressing Midwestern values of "accountability and self-reliance" along with "love of country." It also stresses his record as a lawmaker.

In the ad, Obama says his values led him to "pass up Wall Street jobs" and work in Chicago neighborhoods hurt by the closure of steel plants.

"That's why I passed laws moving people from welfare to work, cut taxes for working families and extended health care for wounded troops who’d been neglected," he says.

The ad will also air in Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Virginia.
