Obama campaign targets Romney ties to oil

By KEN THOMAS

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama's campaign accused Republican Mitt Romney of siding with "Big Oil" in a new television ad released Monday, signaling an escalation of a general election campaign and a vigorous debate over gas prices.


"In all these fights, Mitt Romney's stood with Big Oil - for their tax breaks, attacking higher mileage standards and renewables," the Obama campaign said in the new ad, which marked the first time the president's campaign has publicly attacked Romney by name and made clear it views the former Massachusetts governor as Obama's likely opponent next fall

Do you feel this is a good strategy for the President? With talk of gas approaching $5.00 a gallon this summer, and war drums beating in Iran, is this a winning stragegy for Obama?


furthermore, do you think it will backfire, given he being the biggest recipient of donations from BP and it's employees?


What say you?
 
I doubt many will even pay attention.
