Looks really weird, and distracts from the amazing record. Why is he looking off to the side?

Damn I HATE when shoddy production values ruin a great ad. Where they trying to be folksy, like he's talking to someone off camera??

He's looking off to the side to read the script to get in everything he wants to get across in 30 seconds. Perhaps they could reposition the text next time.

I often thought of when he delivers his messages to Congress, as to how great he comes across on TV. He has that terrific personality, and seemingly direct way of talking that makes people want to be on his side. Another nail in Romney's coffin!

I hope this ad, along with some of the hard-hitting ones against Romney, will sway some people and help us win those key states.

Open, direct to the viewer and on point ....

Whenever I hear obvious bullshit in a GOP commercial, I always ask myself: WHY doesn't the President just come out and directly refute this ???

Well, there we go ....
