'He Said It, He Meant It' (New Obama Ad On 47%!)



Remember when Mitt Romney said 47% of Americans are "victims" who don't "take responsibility for their lives"? Seventeen days after it leaked, he's saying he didn't mean a word of it.

with him taking different positions on every other issue. I don't know who is running the one in this area about coal but they have Romney standing in front of a coal fired power plant saying this plant kills people and I will not protect a plant and the jobs that kill people. It contradicts the thousands of "Stop the War on Coal Fire Obama signs.

. . . they take these videos and target them to various digital and social sites and local news carriers.

here's an article detailing how the campaign is using these videos:

here's today's collection of a string of video ad responses from the President and others using actual news sources to relate the lies in Romney's presentation:

Mitt Romney Didn't Tell the Truth About Medicare

Mitt Romney Misled Voters About President Obama's Clean Energy Record

President Obama on the First Debate: "Romney was fact-checked by his own campaign."

HERE'S HOW THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN USES THESE VIDEOS:

from Oct.4:

______ Today, Obama for America is running the Promoted Trend on Twitter using the #ForwardNotBack hashtag leading to a video that came together in mere hours.

Barack Obama@BarackObama
What Romney failed to deliver on last night: the facts.

4 Oct 12

Obama is also running anti-Romney expandable ads on key swing state news sites with a message aimed squarely at younger voters, along with a more-general anti-Romney ad takeover mirroring the #ForwardNotBack theme on HuffingtonPost.com.

The Obama paid trend links to search results topped with a video tweet from the Obama camp: therein lies about a minute-and-a-half of mainstream media response to the debate, all suggesting statements by Republican Mitt Romney were light on facts. TV coverage clips are coupled with several screenshots of equally damning conclusions on Twitter about Romney statements from non-partisan fact-checking groups FactCheck.org and Politifact.

"The results are in. Romney played fast and loose with the facts," states text that introduces (yesterday's) Obama video. (Same format as today's)

Before the debate, Obama's campaign surrogates played down his chances of scoring high points last night, in part because Romney had more recent debate experience and more time to prepare. Today's video-enhanced Twitter move seems to follow that strategy. Rather than highlighting the President and his own words, the video uses trusted media outlets to reinforce one of Obama's primary messages last night: Romney's claims regarding issues such as healthcare and his tax plan are not based in fact.

We can disagree about Obama's performance in the first debate, but I think ads like this will have more impact.

The wealthy get all of the perks in this country. Free this, free that. Use our banks, use our hotels, use our airlines. Blah, blah, blah. Less interest on everything while we pay out the ying-yang. He's an asshole ever after. Pond scum.
