Obama's Bain ad: 'Like watching an old friend bleed to death' (Updated)

The Obama campaign's 2-minute ad on Mitt Romney's Bain Capital is record is out, and it is brutal.

Targeting Romney's involvement in the acquistion of GST Steel, the commercial shows workers at a shuttered plant pinning Romney and Bain with the blame.

“They made as much money off it as they could and they closed it down, they filed for bankruptcy, without any concern for the families or the communities,” says Joe Soptic, a former steelworker. “It was like watching an old friend bleed to death.”

The spot directly contrasts the steelworkers' testimonials with Romney's words touting his business experience, showing the Republican saying "I know how business works. I know why jobs come and why they go" and "As I look around at the millions of Americans without work, it breaks my heart."

2. Spread this far and wide.

Don't forget that there are some that don't have access to the internet. So include it in your meetings or personal gatherings.

3. Question

Where do all of these ads run? Particularly the longer ones, are they only on the internet? If so, seems like they are missing a big audience. I have cable, and watch a fair amount of television. If it weren't for MSNBC showing snippits, I'd never see them, except maybe here on DU & TPM and the like.

4. This is the place to take him down - using his own line of bullshit! k&r

5. I just watched it (literally).

It really hits home for a lot of communities. It tells the truth about Romney and his economic policies.


Im posting it on my FB page.
