Americans for Prosperity launches $6.1 million attack on Obama The conservative group Americans for Prosperity is spending $6.1 million on swing state ads accusing the Obama administration of wasting billions and sending jobs overseas through green energy projects. The ads will air in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, and Virginia. "Billions of taxpayer dollars spent on green energy went to jobs in foreign countries" like Mexico, Finland, and China, the narrator says, "while millions of Americans can't find a job." AFP previously spent $6 million on an ad attacking the Obama administration's support of the failed solar panel firm Solyndra. The group was founded by one of the billionaire Koch brothers and was an early backer of tea party groups. Outside groups like AFP will play a major role in this election. American Crossroads, another Republican-backing super PAC, is also out with ads attacking Obama and other Democratic politicians.
