Stunning new Obama video: "Mitt Romney was not an effective governor."

[highplainsdem]

I found this via a Twitter link to this page at The Political Carnival

http://thepoliticalcarnival.net/2012/09/26/video-gov-mitt-romney-did-not-care-it-was-almost-like-there-was-a-moat-system-around-the-romney-castle/

which has some quotes from the video, including these:

“It was almost like there was a moat system around the Romney castle.”

“He had aides walking around with fake ear pieces in their ear… pretending that they were secret service agents… made sure no one had access to the governor’s office whatsoever.“

1. The first speaker was my state rep ...

Jay Kaufman, 15th Middlesex district. Go Jay.

[Lucinda]

2. Wow... knr n/t

[99th_Monkey]

3. POW! ~nt

4. Dead-on.

Romney led Massachusetts down a bad path. I know, I was one of the people that lived under his administration.

5. I have been waiting on campaign season for this, wondering when the Democrats

were going to go after Mittens on his abysmal governor record.

[Spazito]

6. Wow!

Excellent ad, using those who knew him best in Massachusetts from both sides of the aisle, very damning.

This comment really caught my attention:

“He had aides walking around with fake ear pieces in their ear… pretending that they were secret service agents… made sure no one had access to the governor’s office whatsoever.“

It fits so well with what is becoming more clear every day, he lives in a particular world he has created in his own mind. Yikes.

19. That quote immediately reminded me of Mitt's pretending to be a state trooper in MI.

He never did grow up. Not at all.

[Voice for Peace]

22. Maybe Mitt sees politics as one big prank.. that would explain a lot

For example, he's not lying, he's "fooling" people.

[DCBob]

7. Wow.. this reminds of the infamous Carville quote..

"When your opponent is drowning, throw him an anvil"

[landolfi]

8. Devastating

They should show this right before the debates.

[HopeHoops]

9. Yo, rMoney - Bend over. I'll drive.

[spanone]

10. +1,000,000

11. he is a mormon

Mormons are very secretive...we have a mormon church right here a block from my house...the get guards on sunday's ..and a parking guard in a car cruising the premises over and over....

[central scrutinizer]

12. He did such a great job in MA that he is 22 points behind there

fool me once, shame on you
fool me twice, shame on me

Won't get fooled again

[geckosfeet]

18. I am surprised it's only 22

[treestar]

13. That was brilliant

Digging up those MA legislators.

[CindyinIndy]

14. Great ad -

Best one yet! Bet it won't run in my state!

[Cha]

15. Great to have the

Internet!

[tarheelsunc]

16. Please, make this into a TV commercial as well

If people know just how poor of a leader he really is, he could lose even more supporters who still hold on to the false mentality that Obama is a poor leader.

[beac]

17. Nice that they are finally exposing this part of Rmoney's fictional bio. K&R! n/t

[OldDem2012]

20. Killer ad!! I'd like to see this running on TV as often as humanly possible! - nt.

[highplainsdem]

29. Agreed, OldDem2012! And welcome to DU!

[NotThisTime]

33. I've been saying some of this stuff for a year yet nobody outside Mass. knows it... run the ad every

damn day!!!!

[rox63]

21. This is the truth!

Not only do most Dems in Mass dislike him, quite a few Republicans can't stand him either.

[LynneSin]

23. If the guy is any good he would have run for re-election

Sure his excuse was 'I'm running for Pres and can't do that as governor'. But come on many many people have run for Pres while serving other offices. What team Romney knew was that if he ran for re-election again as Governor of Massachusetts he would most definitely have lost and probably pretty badly. That would not have looked good for someone who wants to be president.

[Grateful for Hope]

28. Yup

I think the 'distracted' statement says everything. He never was interested in MA. This was a stepping stone to a presidential run.

He is beyond a doubt the worst repub candidate in history. I can't believe that I think little bush was better. But in retrospect, he was. At least he listened to his handlers. The arrogance of Romney astounds me.

[ejbr]

24. This could be edited for tv...

that would be cool.

[Aldo Leopold]

25. What caught my attention was "He seemed

distracted and disengaged." Mental disorder?

Great vid. Thanks for posting!

[kalli007]

26. LOL at 1:59

Dude was fixing to say "How in the Hell?" but quickly replaced it with "God's green Earth...". Priceless.

[cheriemedium59]

27. Holy Crap!

How has this man ever been able to be in public office????

[progressoid]

30. Didn't we have similar vids of the failures of Bush jr as Gov.?

And yet people still voted for that loser...TWICE.

[seejimrow]

31. huh?

it says you'll hear 'it' from reps and dems and then has 6 dems making comments.
not super effective.

[jsr]

32. Awesome ad.

Run it as much as possible.
