GOP goes on Miami radio to bash Obama

The Republican National Committee said it is running a Spanish-language radio ad in Miami that criticizes President Barack Obama's handling of the economy and health care. You can listen here. Translated version is:

Voice: Miami welcomes President Obama and Vice President Biden to our city. Since you’re spending a lot of your time raising campaign dollars instead of meeting with us, we have some questions for you.

You told us that a massive new spending program would help the economy and be good for jobs. Our community has lost jobs, and now unemployment among Hispanics is nearly 13 percent. Where are the jobs? When will things get better?

Now, you say we need to overhaul our health care system. Where is the money going to come from? Will you really cut funding for Medicare to pay for it? How can that be good? That’s really going to hurt our seniors.

Big federal spending programs, no improvement in jobs and Medicare cuts. That’s just not good enough. We can’t afford for things to keep on this way. Mr. President -- is this the best you can do?
