The Obama campaign's 2-minute ad on Mitt Romney's Bain Capital is record is out, and it is brutal.
Targeting Romney's involvement in the acquistion of GST Steel, the commercial shows workers at a shuttered plant pinning Romney and Bain with the blame.
“They made as much money off it as they could and they closed it down, they filed for bankruptcy, without any concern for the families or the communities,” says Joe Soptic, a former steelworker. “It was like watching an old friend bleed to death.”
The spot directly contrasts the steelworkers' testimonials with Romney's words touting his business experience, showing the Republican saying "I know how business works. I know why jobs come and why they go" and "As I look around at the millions of Americans without work, it breaks my heart."

GEE, IMAGINE THAT!!!
The timing of this ad going out seems odd at first...why hit this hard this early.
The answer is - this ad is designed to scare off the potential Romney VP candidates who may have national aspirations. This ad was primarily made for Rubio.
“why hit this hard this early.”
Imagine how bad the Messiah’s Internal polling must be to pimp an already-debunked LIE?
This gets traction among the STOOPID, who don’t know any better.
Like I said last week, the plan is to throw SO MUCH STUFF out there, hoping some of it sticks in the minds of the Sheeple. It does not matter if it is true or not, and Obama’s willing gay sycophants in the M.dia will gladly follow along.
” Republicans wont use it anyway. “
Nah...it might work : )
wonder what they would do if someone downloaded it and reposted it?
It's fully down-loadable.

Son of Newt endorser Perry RT @griffperry Wow. Newt in $4MM in Debt. What kind of fiscal steward would he have been as Pres? Not a good one.

Rumor: @BuzzFeedBen barred from Romney print pool because he gave fodder to the f-—ers

Where did you hear or read that?
Per Byron York on Bill Bennett’s show this a.m.
A trip last week to Orlando FL for a business conference gave me a preview for what to expect in political ads everywhere this fall. I predict massive DVR usage while cruising NetFlix for alternatives.
so they condensed Michael Moore’s “Roger and Me” down to two minutes. Big whoop.
