New super PAC ad hits Romney over Bain

The super PAC supporting President Barack Obama's reelection released a new television advertisement on Saturday featuring a man who uses stark terms to describe Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's role in his own unemployment.

"Mitt Romney made over a hundred million dollars by shutting down our plant, and devastated our lives," the employee, Mike Earnest, says in the Priorities USA Action ad. "Turns out that when we built that stage, it was like building my own coffin. And it just made me sick."

That stage, he says in the video, was built by him and other employees of American Pad and Paper, a company which Romney's private equity firm Bain Capital purchased and later went into bankruptcy.

"A group of people walked out on that stage, and told us that the plant is now closed, and all of you are fired," Earnest said.
