I haven't noticed the Ad today. Has it been taken down or is it still on? Burton will be with Wolf on CNN at 6:00 to talk about it, I think I will tune in.

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?

It's sad how low the Obama campaign will stoop to win. This is a very deceptive ad that should be beneath a sitting President to have a hand in, but it's par for the course for Obama's Chicago politics.

She also had her own insurance, so him losing his job was irrelevant.

By this measure, Obama's got to answer for a lot of deaths, starting with Brian Terry.

Romney's ad doesn't accuse anyone of killing someone. Huge difference.

In my practice, I have seen this MANY times. People lost their health insurance and were unable to afford medical care for ensuing cancers. They arrive for medical treatment when the pain becomes unbearable and it is too late to save them.
Focus.....SHE still had health insurance.

Typical child like behavior you continue to exhibit.

Who's "Jr"?????

So I am to believe that the order would spell out that he wants to remove the work pre-requisite?

You're old enough and smart enough to know better than that.

You seem to imply that this is pretty important stuff. So I ask again why it was dumped on a Friday afternoon when administrations always do that in the hope that people wont notice?

Nor does Romney's ad politicize someone's death...which is beyond disgusting.

Default Another Day, Another DISGUSTING and FALSE anti-Romney Ad

It IS a very misleading and dishonest ad.

And it isn't from the Obama campaign, it's from one of those super pacs.

Thank you, US supreme court. See "Citizens United", a 5-4 decision made by the 5 conservative justices.

Regardless, that's the rules as of today and BOTH sides play the game on the same level playing field.

For the sake of clarity, I misspelled the Obama bundler's name who closed down the steel plant in Kansas City.

It's Johnathan Lavine and not "Levine" as I previously typed.
