WASHINGTON, D.C. Taking advantage of new growth in the economy, President George W. Bush’s campaign on Friday released a new ad that touts an increase of 1.4 million jobs since August.

The 30-second spot, called “Pessimism,” also attacks Sen. John Kerry for comparing America’s economy to the Depression. The ad discusses Bush’s tax relief, low inflation and interest rates and record homeownership. An announcer says, “John Kerry’s response? He’s talking about the Great Depression. One thing’s sure … Pessimism never created a job.”
