In reply to the discussion: New Obama Ad! -- Mitt Romney's Debate Performance: "Mostly Fiction" [View all]JoePhilly

I mean, he could have easily creamed any number of the lies. I can think of 4 zingers for which Obama smiled during the lie, and then didn't "zing".
I hope that's what he was doing. Just letting the line out, with the intent of setting the hook and reeling Mitt in over the next few weeks.

MANY more people will see Obama's ads in the next 5 weeks than will watch the debates.

True. I keep remembering what happened to Lyin' Ryan after his debut at the RNC.
