Mitt Romney's campaign released its first television commercial of the general election Friday, a spot that outlines a series of "day one" goals for a Romney presidency.
The ad, expected to run in Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina and Virginia, features a narrator speaking over stock footage of the American heartland and Romney on the campaign trail, outlining what "a Romney presidency would be like."
“Day one, President Romney immediately approves the Keystone pipeline, creating thousands of jobs that Obama blocked. President Romney introduces tax cuts and reforms that reward job creators, not punish them. President Romney issues order to begin replacing ObamaCare with common-sense healthcare reform," the voiceover continues.
The campaign is expected to spend $1.3 million on the commercial, according to NBC News, a relatively small purchase. The Obama campaign, by comparison, is in the midst of a $25 million television campaign.

I like it
Replace is not the same as repeal, Romney said he would repeal obamaCare. (((sigh)))
Are we accepting ‘president’ as our king then?
Where is the balance of the three branches of our government?
“It’s morni.....midnight in America.”
Well you could replace it with something that would work - repeal and replace can coexist.
So Romney has issues understanding the role of separation of powers in our constitutional system.
I gotcha.
But yippee, let’s replace the D dictator with an R one!
Eh ... just so-so
Repeal: means get rid of.
Replace: means one government program replaced by another government program.
I want to hear that on “Day One” that Romney will direct his Attorney General to begin investigating and ventilating ALL of the illegal actions committed by 0bama, Holder & Co. over the past 4 years.
Here’s another “Day One” idea, Romney issues an executive order stripping the TSA of all jurisdictional authority over the nation’s airports and directs the Justice Department to begin investigating all of the many reports of groping, molestation and violation of the civil rights of Americans who have been victimized by those thugs and goons.
The Fraud.
If Romney can link the Fraud that is Obama to the Fraud on WallStreet Investment Banks and in the mortgage markets-he wins the election.
I suspect Romney is too beholden to those business interests, however, to make it work.
Not seeing where you get that. The Keystone XL holdup is on the executive branch side (State Department needs to OK it). He talks about submitting a plan for tax cuts, but that still needs Congress. A bit iffier on the subject of replacing Obamacare, perhaps.
If he runs on repeal alone, he’ll be branded as making sick people die and people go uninsured. Repeal and replace is the theme of the party for almost two years.
The fact is, the government is already intertwined so heavily in health care, even under repeal alone, we still have failed government policy. There has to be additional legislation to fix what has been badly broken.
I like the Ad, also the anti-Romney stuff here is getting tiresome. You all know its coming brace for zealot attack 3...2....1....LOL
“also the anti-Romney stuff here is getting tiresome”
Agree.
I also like the Romney ad.
If you’re tired maybe you would be more comfortable going someplace that isn’t a Conservative website. Perhaps GOPE.com or RINOSRUS.org where you can wave your pom poms in a mental echo chamber along with Olympia Snowe and Lindsay Graham.
In the debates, he said his day one job was to repeal Obamacare.
I wonder how that will morph into something else by election day. Later, when asked to confirm it, he said he would change the bad parts. That is, in my mind, different then repeal.
By the way, what is an “Etch-a-Sketch?” Does it erase all at once or just a few grains of magnetic sand at a time?
When he redraws the picture on Obamacare to get rid of just the bad parts, does he have to turn both knobs at the same time to make a slanty line? I could never do that, and I don’t think he can either.
Need some strychnine?
I like all except the part about “common sense health care reform”. Until he defines what they mean by that it will make me very nervous.
The up-front hit on the Keystone Pipeline is genius though.
