Ad's against Washington's Village Idiot are going to be just so easy.

Having opened a proverbial can of worms with their “vulture capitalism”-tinted attacks on Mitt Romney’s business record at Bain Capital (all of those surrogates wandering off-message were just too much of a darn headache), Team Obama has since pivoted to attacking Romney’s record as governor of Massachusetts. Here’s today’s latest contribution reiterating that line of argument:
Obama For America TV Ad: "Number One"
Same stuff we saw last week, but I have to say, I find it uniquely galling that President Obama can point to Romney’s experiences in the private sector and as a state executive as failures, when he himself has expertise in neither of those areas and his own “on the job” training has us struggling beneath the weight of a three-year economic downturn. As much as he likes to pretend that Mitt Romney had one of the “worst economic records in the country,” President Obama has provided the entire country with one of its worst economic records.
Mitt Romney was “number one in state debt”? Mr. President, you’ve added $5 trillion to our national debt in less than one term. And honestly, as for job creation — I’m surprised President Obama can even use that term with a straight face. Under his administration, our labor participation rate (a more accurate reflection of unemployment) is at a record low, and Mitt Romney’s record isn’t even remotely what Obama’s trying to make it out to be. Last week, the WSJ took a closer look at the “47th in job creation” claim:
But the state was climbing, not falling, because Massachusetts was ranked 49th in the year before Mr. Romney took office. Both Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama took office during periods of rising unemployment. In Massachusetts, unemployment had risen to 5.6% from 4.8% in the year before Mr. Romney took office, according to BLS’s state statistics, and peaked at 6% in June of his first year. It then fell to 4.6% by the time he left office in 2007.
By contrast, the U.S. rate stood at 7.8% at Mr. Obama’s inauguration and now stands at 8.2%. All in all, the Bay State economy added about 48,000 jobs during the Romney administration. This is an increase of about 1.5%, compared to U.S. growth in the Obama era of less than one-tenth of one percent, or negative growth, depending on the survey.
So Mr. Romney’s jobs record looks relatively good—at least next to the microscopic jobs recovery of the Obama years.
Call me old-fashioned, but I really think people in glass houses shouldn’t be throwing stones.
I do tend to think of Zer0 as being more like #2.
Not that I’m particularly thrilled with Romney and his squishy record, but it is important to remember that as Governor of Massachusetts, he was faced with Democrat control of both the state senate and house. So there’s really not much he could have accomplished in terms of implementing any kind of conservative agenda.
In fact, I think it’s even fair to say that RomneyCare was an effort to avoid a much more draconian alternative that the Democrats were threatening to pass. At least that’s my memory of the situation.
“people in glass houses shouldn’t be throwing stones.”
Bingo! Another dumb move by Obamugabe.
The election is about him and this ad will only remind people of his failures.
I fail to understand how the Democrats can run an Ad about the closing of a Steel Plant that Bain tried to save when Romney had been gone from Bain for two (2) years when it closed and blame Romney. It is apparent that they don’t give a damn about the truth and will say whatever they think might work. Whatever happened to Networks and Local Stations refusing to broadcast obvious advertising lies?
#1 in Food Stamps
#1 in Black Youth Unemployment
#1 in loss of home values
#1 in loss of real family incomes
#1 in number of black families that dropped from “middle class” into poverty
#1 largest federal deficit
#1 in federal debt increased in a single term
#1 in largest gap between U3 and U6
#1 U6 Unemployment rate since women entered the workplace en mass
#1 Narcissist
The Obama campaign is surprisingly BAD.
First, they whiffed on the Bain attack.
Now they are attacking JOB CREATION????
Talk about lack of self-awareness.
Reminds me of the movie Idiocracy.
The “number 2” joke was just 2 obvious.
In Massachusetts, unemployment had risen to 5.6% from 4.8% in the year before Mr. Romney took office, according to BLS’s state statistics, and peaked at 6% in June of his first year. It then fell to 4.6% by the time he left office in 2007.It seems that the Greek gods are conspiring against Obama. Everything Obama touches turns to scata.By contrast, the U.S. rate stood at 7.8% at Mr. Obama’s inauguration and now stands at 8.2%.
I guess it was.
Flush 0bama!

It’s quite simple, ORAG: the democrat party depends on its ignorant base, first, and second the willful deception of the MSM, which keeps the majority of Americans ignorant. The end result is deception by the media (propaganda) that the democrat party knows will be maintained. It doesn’t matter what we here know, unless we get the word through to the masses. It is very, very difficult, but I know we will prevail because Obama awoke the “Sleeping Giant”.
