Hitting back against an attack ad from the American Energy Alliance, President Obama's reelection campaign unveiled a television ad on Monday that defends his energy-policy record.

The ad is scheduled to air in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, and Virginia — all important swing states, according to the campaign.
The super PAC backing the Obama campaign, Priorities USA Action, released a similar ad last week attacking the American Energy Alliance, a group funded by major oil companies.
