I'm tired of this masquerade this organization's and others like it need their status pulled.

Peddling Innuendo, Exaggerations on ‘Obama’s Wall Street’
American Future Fund continues to exaggerate the facts in a new round of TV ads attacking President Obama’s ties to Wall Street. We do give the group partial credit, however, for correcting a misstatement from one ad it has re-released. It gets “partial credit” because the group corrected the error once in the revised ad, but then repeated the error elsewhere in the same ad. And the group didn’t make any revisions to address other gross misstatements in the ad.
Ads starting today.
