“[O]ur ads haven't gone after the president personally. … [W]e haven't dredged up the old stuff that people talked about last time around. We haven't gone after the personal things.”
This is classic! They know there is nothing they can go after the President with from the "last time around" that hasn't already been debunked six ways to Sunday! If the sensible American people have to relive the McCain campaign again it will be the end and he knows it or they would have gone there already.
Think what you want of McCain but he knew if he went the way of his "rogue" VP pick (whose name shall not be mentioned) he would have lost worse than he did. He did have a few shinning moments from his campaign. Namely when he stood up for then Senator Obama to the "he's an Arab" woman.
I recommend watching "Game Change" if you get an opportunity. I initially cringed when I finally decided to watch it but I think it will surprise you and I also believe it is about as close of a representation from that side of the campaign as you will get. It also shows what we dodged had the election gone the other way! So please Mr. Romney, go the way of the "mama grizzly" and we will see how that works out for you! Read the Article at HuffingtonPost
I took the time and honestly gave myself a migraine finding every video and/or fact to show if this video has the correct timeline. I shouldn't have to tell you that Romney lies. I mean, if you look up the definition of liar in the dictionary you might very well see a picture of Mitt Romney beside it. But many people were doubting or questioning the timeline of the quotes used in this ad so out of curiosity and to erase all doubt I did the research.
It wasn't hard but it was tedious and mind numbing having to watch the Republican footage and listen to them lie and complain. I took a shot for all of you so you wouldn't have to suffer like I did. So here it is!
Additionally, Factcheck.org gave Romney a "four Pinocchio" rating on this very subject. http://youtu.be/AGgoVc3tfjc
Segment two:
Romney claims President Obama "has failed to communicate that military options are on the table". Romney makes these claims, to an 11 year old child, just hours after President Obama gave a speech to AIPAC stating:
"I have said that when it comes to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, I will take no options off the table, and I mean what I say. That includes all elements of American power: a political effort aimed at isolating Iran, a diplomatic effort to sustain our coalition and ensure that the Iranian program is monitored, an economic effort that imposes crippling sanctions and, yes, a military effort to be prepared for any contingency" on March 4, 2012.
This one is too easy but here you go. Romney says President Obama hasn't passed tax cuts for the middle class. Again Politifact rated it "True" when David Axelrod stated:
"We passed without, frankly, the help of the Republican caucus, we passed 25 tax cuts last year, mostly aimed at the middle class and small businesses" on Sunday, January 31st, 2010 on NBC's "Meet the Press".
In President Obama's defense I'll just give you the link to the State of the Union but those are the clips from it in the ad. http://youtu.be/6Tlp9Gx4lfo
Segment seven:
Romney tries to make the case that President Obama "fundamentally believes that..that...that this next century is a post American century"during the December 15, 2011 Fox News GOP debate in Sioux City, Iowa. http://politicalcorrection.org/video/201112150016
