Obama Campaign Releases Another Brutal Ad Slamming Mitt Romney for 47 Percent Insult

Bill Day, Cagle Cartoons
The Obama campaign is out with another brutal ad slamming Mitt Romney for his insult that 47 percent of Americans are freeloaders. The ad doesn’t show Romney’s picture at the closed-door event, but it uses the audio of Romney’s own words, along with pictures of veterans, workers, families with children, and other 47 percenters.
The ad will air in seven states. Romney is running his own ad saying he cares for the poor and the middle class, but like his wife’s horse Rafalca, who failed to place at the Olympics, so too will this ad fall on deaf ears, at least from the polls, it seems that way.
Here’s an interesting take for FiveThirtyEight and a possible landslide:
Nate Silver: ”Looks to be about a 20 percent chance that Mr. Romney will win, but also about a 20 percent chance that Mr. Obama will actually beat his 2008 margin in the popular vote. The smart money is on an outcome somewhere in the middle – as it has been all year. But if you can conceive of a Romney comeback – and you should account for that possibility – you should also allow for the chance that things could get really out of hand, and that Mr. Obama could win in a borderline landslide.”
To be honest, I am dying for the election to be over. This has been another long and arduous process.

“To be honest, I am dying for the election to be over. This has been another long and arduous process.”
I couldn’t agree more, I predict a close victory for Obama, with the GOP keeping the house. Senate will stay with the Democrats and we’ll have another two to four-years of obstructionism and grid-lock.
I just hope the country and the middle class can survive the next four-years.
I predict as soon as the Bush Tax cuts expire this country will bounce back with a vengence. Obama doesn’t need GOP support to let that happen.
I’d love to be able to agree with you slam, really I would. Aside from the fact that today’s GOP is an ailing and dangerous beast (even if it loses), there is the world economy to consider. I think we are all (except the wealthy minorities who have always been insulated from the struggles of the many) going to be making adjustments to a lower standard of living (those who haven’t already done so) at least for the next couple decades.
