Crossroads GPS is running a new ad slamming Obama on the national debt in a $5.5 million ad campaign being launched in key battleground states, including Florida, on Tuesday. Crossroads GPS is spending $1.7 million to run the ad in the Sunshine State over the next two weeks.

“While Europe is in the throes of debt-fueled economic crisis, President Obama keeps spending and charging more on the nation’s maxed-out credit cards,” said Steve Law, the president of Crossroads GPS, in a statement on Tuesday. “We want to encourage a serious debate on the national debt that transcends President Obama’s class-warfare tax hikes.”
