I've not seen that ad, and I live in Florida to.

.. about the ad ..

The ad also says he "passed a law to move people from welfare to work, slashed the rolls by 80 percent." Actually, the Illinois law was a required follow-up to the 1996 federal welfare reform law worked out by President Clinton and the Republican Congress. Welfare rolls did go down by nearly as much as the ad says, but Obama can't claim sole credit.

..much, much more at this fact checking link..

Obama has accomplished ZERO, so the ad is hogwash on its face. The junior Senator from Chicago can not even work as an elections clerk correctly....Which is what he did before getting a seat in the Senate....
