CLIFTON, Va. (AP) - An unrelenting President Barack Obama jabbed at Mitt Romney's record with a private equity firm in an ad Saturday that aimed to keep his rival on the defensive just as the Republican challenger's campaign hoped to take advantage of poor economic data to gain an edge on the incumbent.

Obama met Romney's plea for an apology for the attacks with a mocking ad that charged 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."

Pressure was building on Romney from within his own party to be more forthcoming with his finances, a day after he declared he would not release past income tax returns beyond his 2010 tax records and, before the November election, his 2011 taxes

1. "UNRELENTING Obama". GOOD! MORE MORE MORE ! USE MITTEN FOR A PUNCHING BAG !

[wordpix]

5. "Unrelenting" definitely sounds sweet to me. More, more , more!

[flamingdem]

7. Obama is in top form

This is enjoyable, at this point

8. Interesting

Use douchebag for punchingbag. This could work!

[SDjack]

2. Wow! Obama Campaign may have a new attack ad for each rMoney future event.

Look for one on day rMoney arrives at convention, one as he is nominated, one as he speaks, etc. If they each contain new raw meat, he may never get on offense. Is this the new DEM party? I hope so.

3. If the shoe fits...

Hit him over the head with it. The guy is positively skeezy. The stuff he's good at is not what this country needs.

4. Willard Romney, prevaricator in chief.

[AdHocSolver]

6. President Obama has to push the fact that Romney represents the face of the Republican Party.

The Republican Party is run by a lot of people who think like Romney and who push the same policies and goals as Romney.

In anti-Romney ads, Democrats and other groups should run brief clips of Senators and Representatives and governors who mouth the same anti-worker, anti-middle class, anti-women, racist bigotry implied by Romney's rhetoric.

The opposition to Romney and the Republicans must make use of this opportunity to show that the current Republican Party is pursuing goals and policies against the interests of the majority of the American people. Romney is not the Republican default nominee. He is the chosen leader of the Republican Party.

9. "Ode to Joy" comes to mind.

10. Will we ever see the "news" media lamenting the "unrelenting" lies

and racist insults which have been the non-stop war upon this man from the day he entered the Presidential race?

I can't recall EVER seeing the media appear to feel shock or horror toward the monstrous way the right has behaved toward the 44th President.

It's good to see this President take it to him. Romney most clearly had all of this coming so very long ago, and far more.

11. It's so weird to see a Democrat in attack mode.

I really like this feeling.

12. The Republican Party is the bully party You don't stop a bully by punching back once.

You keep hitting him until you knock him out. And when he wakes up, knock him out again.
