The conservative super-PAC American Crossroads is aiming to turn the tables on Democrats by accusing President Obama of waging an economic "war on women." "Some people say there's a 'war on women.' We agree — it's a war being waged in our economy. Under President Obama, the number of women living in poverty has skyrocketed. Hit hardest in every poverty-related category," says a narrator in a Web video released Wednesday.
Crossroads produced the video in response to a television ad launched earlier this week that claimed women are "troubled" by presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
