There are some that beleive Obama had a part in that ad but whether he did or did not Obama has yet to rebuke that attack and his lack of doing so brings into question just how low he will go to get re-elected. It further would be to his benefit because the ad makes Obama look very weak and will damage his likability ratings. We like gunslingers but we reject mudslingers.
Likewise it is believed that Obama encouraged Harry Reid to tell his story, without any susbstantive proof that a deep throat character swears that Romney didn't pay taxes for 10 years.
Obama's Secretary of State under his direction guidance and polices is repeatedly shown cutting a rug tossing back a beer showing casing the people to people diplomacy demonsrates her moral obtuseness. While the Syrian Irnian, etc people are under attack she dances away. This trivalizes foreign policy making America look like well the back end of a horse.
Obama makes claim that by taxing the rich we can tax our way out of our debt crisis. He cast Romney as a rich guy protecting the rich and that his economic policiesd are exactly what got us into trouble in the first place.
Well he mischaracterizes why we got into this problem in the first place but why rehash the the past, a past well known by all.
To counter Obama claims the Tax Reform Act of 1986 by the Reagan Adminsitration increased GDP by over a trillion dollars and in todays economic environment would translate in inceasing the wealth of the nation by 7 million dollars.
Obama has turned the immigration issue to be one of civil rights. Can illegal aliens have civil rights (racial profiling)? Certainly they are entitled to human rights and we all support that cause. Obama tried to beat to death the Immagration Policy enacted by Arizona . Consider that the reason New York city dramatically reduced its crime rate the police took a proactive approach and were expected to intervene anytime they observed anyone looking suspicious which included their right to frisk a suspect. At that time New York was plagued by black and hispanic gangs. They cleaned up many of these areas and guess what the areas were rebuilt and people could live without fear.
Our economy is three years post recession and we are in a worse place than when we started. It is an easy choice this November and I am betting that Americans want the country to return to those ideals that kept us safe and strong for so long

Have you ever worked for a company for 25 years that was taken over by a corporate raider who closed the business and put 44,000 people out of work, out of healthcare, and out of a pension. This happened to me. A lot of these people were earning six figure incomes. How many of those 44,000 and their family members may have died because they couldn't afford healthcare?
When a vulture capitalist takes over a company like this, it's not just the employees and their families that suffer, but also the vendors and all the businesses that these employees frequented. It's doubtful that many of these former employees will be voting for Mitt Romney.
This ad that you speak of has yet to air or any TV station, only on the internet. I find the ad very powerful.
Criticizing Secretary Clinton for letting her hair down and enjoying herself after the remarkable job she has been doing for the past 3.5 years is beyond the pale.
