It's called America's Leadership. It brags about how Obama worked with Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) and "passed a law" to secure loose conventional weapons and nukes. The ad shows pictures of Obama at an abandoned chemical weapons stockpile in the Ukraine.


BO at town hall: We are a beacon of light around the world. At least that’s what we can be again. That’s what we should be again.

BO in interview: The single most important national security threat that we face…

BO VO:…is nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists.

BO VO: What I did was reach out to Senator Dick Lugar, a Republican, to help lock down loose nuclear weapons.

BO in interview: We have to lead the entire world to reduce that threat.

BO at town hall: We can restore America’s leadership in the world.

BO VO: I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message.
