Can Obama’s staff be so incompetant and stupid that no one there realized this would come out and backfire like this?
I hope so
They still think the media is carrying their water

As disgusting as this ad is, it is also very much indicative of how the Obama Campaign is viewing the political landscape right now.
This is an ad designed not to boost Obama’s own base, or to flip moderates/independents over to him. It’s designed, explicitly, to suppress the white blue-collar/working-class voters that will either hold their nose and vote for Romney, or stay home.
It means they think they’ve topped out in terms of their own numbers, and now need to pursue other means to get to victory.
