New Ad Blasts Obama’s Hot Mic Moment

A new James Bond-themed advertisement blasted President Obama’s ‘hot mic’ moment in which he told Russian President Dmitri Medvedev that he would have "more flexibility" after his reelection.

The ad, released by American Crossroads, dubs Obama "President Flexible" and assigns him his "next mission": "Win one last election to gain unchecked flexibility, weaken our defenses and fundamentally transform the world. Dmitri will transmit the information."

The mock movie trailer for "Operation: Hot Mic" places the president among a cast of characters who are attempting to weaken America’s national security.

Obama’s comments to Medvedev—or "Dr. Transmitkov," as the ad refers to him—received wide spread criticism from lawmakers on Capitol Hill and elsewhere.
