OBAMA UNLOADS: BRUTAL NEW ADKITCHEN SINK: Outsourcing, Tax Havens, Overseas Accounts... 'Instant Classic' 
Obama campaign advisers said the president, during a second straight day in tightly contested Virginia, planned to remind voters on Saturday of the discrepancies between Securities and Exchange Commission filings and Romney's recollection of his role at Boston-based Bain Capital. Obama was focusing on a state that he won in 2008, a first for a Democratic nominee since 1964, and on an issue that Romney says diverts attention from struggling economy. A new ad from Obama's campaign repeated the charges that the firm shipped American jobs to China and Mexico; that Romney has personal wealth in investments in Switzerland, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands; and that as Massachusetts governor, he sent state jobs to India. "Mitt Romney's not the solution. He's the problem," the ads says as Romney is heard singing "America the Beautiful."

We all learn that song as small children. It's a meaningful song that symbolizes mom, apple pie, baseball and afternoon barbeques.
At least it does for me. It's about our beautiful country and the people in it. Romney sang the song to try & prove how much he loves this country. President Obama has shown us just how thoughtless, uncaring Romney really is. In other words ... profit and power first; mom, apple pie, & baseball second.  |

Mittens didn't burn it!
I admit at first I was afraid of an ad that relied on visuals. It's not laziness. Ads are the traditional time to head for the kitchen or bathroom break. This one, however, falls into that rare, unique category of awful that will bind people to their seats to watch in awe the spectacle of Mittens strutting around trying to connect through music and then bursting into
It reduces the memory of Dukakis drowning in an oversized helmet whizzing around in the tank, and the boing boing flip flop cartoons to ashes. It leaves me wondering if this is what they're leading with, what the hell else do they have in their arsenal? Do you think they'll let Mittens see it? He'll be spitting nails. Confirms that Obama is aiming to get his famous temper out there for all to see. Mittens hates being pranked. BWAH!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA! |
