In Obama super-PAC ad, worker ties wife
Mitt Romney = me, myself and I

The American people are in for a rough ride if this deceitful, arrogant, unscrupulous, selfish bastard ever wins the presidency.

Obama can still gain from this Ad. If he gets Burton to take it down(certainly he can) and publicly come out and say why he wants it down. If in the process, his explanation of why he wants it down should hit on not wanting to look like a Rove or Romney group(former Abramoff cadre) campaign, --- , Obama could pick up a lot of undecided voters by taking the higher road.

This ad will hurt obama. People are finally realizing what a ruthless, partisan, divisive chicago-style politician he really is. He's been hiding his true self for so long.

First of all...the ad DISGUSTINGLY politicizes the death of this poor lady!! I guess politicizing her death is OK for the Left. Heck, it all but insinuates that Romney is guilty of 2nd degree murder!

But then, as if that's not bad enough, the ad is SO full of lies that it turns ones stomach......

a) The steel plant closed YEARS AFTER Romney left Bain Capital

b) When the steel plant closed, an OBAMA BUNDLER was in charge of Bain Capital

c) This guy's Wife died 4 years AFTER the plant closed and 6 years after Romney left Bain.

d) If that were today, what would Obama have done? Obama's IRS would TAX him for not having health insurance adding insult to injury

e) He says in the ad that he took his Wife to the hospital and she was admitted...so she DID get health care despite not having insurance

d) If this were today, would Obama have prevented her cancer or cured her?

f) Do you think those GM Dealers who Obama closed down, or the Gulf Oil Drillers who Obama put out of work also lost their health care as a result of Obama's policies? Some of them may have even had family members that died of cancer....is Obama responsible?

Isn't it pathetic? We have such a failed, petty, incompetent president that cannot run on his record, as it is so bad. His answer? Make up lies- not just lies, but really big lies.

Obama is the most pathetic president we have ever had. Thankfully, he will be gone in a few months.

The ad is disgusting, and honestly I have to question the integrity of this man who allowed himself and his wife to be used in this political ad and hence in political games.

Do you have equal outrage for the Romney PAC ad that claims “Obama quietly announced a plan to gut welfare reform by dropping work requirements?”

The Washington Post Fact Checker gave the Romney ad:


On the Steel Worker ad, The Washington Post Fact Checker said:

We have given the Obama campaign Pinocchios for blaming Romney for Bain deals that took place entirely after he left for the Olympics gig. This case is a different matter. It falls into a gray area, because the investment and many key decisions were made while Romney was running Bain, as he has acknowledged — even if the denouement came when he was no longer in charge. Romney, in fact, in the past has tried to claim credit for jobs created at companies years after he left Bain, so it’s no surprise the Obama campaign would try to tag him for job losses.

This Ad even trumps(no pun intended) Romney's personally disgusting lies(bordering on Racism) about the Welfare for Work program. At least with the "Understands" Ad, it didn't out of Obama's mouth.

Right-

The ad essentially claims that Romney killed this woman; she died 7 years after he left Bain. Why not just say he caused the Holocaust, WW2, and the breakup of the Beatles? He may have killed Christ as well.

I know of patients I have had who died several years after I left that practice. Should I be sued for malpractice?
