Video transcript:

Mitt Romney doesn't deny he invested in companies that outsourced jobs to Mexico and China. Doesn't deny that he made a fortune when it happened. Romney only says there's "no evidence" that he was in charge at that point. But newly disclosed documents show Romney was: sole stockholder, CEO, and Chairman, when jobs were shipped overseas.

Here's the evidence, Mr. Romney. Your turn to explain.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Sharply worded!

Go get him, Obama!

[maddezmom]

2. here is Bloomberg's headline: You’re so Bain, Obama Tells Romney

http://go.bloomberg.com/political-capital/2012-07-13/youre-so-bain-obama-tells-romney/

[NYC Liberal]

4. Hehe! I also love that they call him Mr Romney and not "Governor".

[Poiuyt]

48. They should call him "Chairman Romney."

[RC]

55. Prisoner Romney would be more apt.

Won't happen, but one can hope.

[Ikonoklast]

3. Romney Is F U C K E D.

This is getting legs, and people will take notice.


Mitt Romney: The Guy That Looks Just Like The Guy That Fired Your Dad.

[PearliePoo2]

14. Perfect:

Mitt Romney: The Guy That Looks Just Like The Guy That Fired Your Dad.

I enlarged the font added some color (fired in bright red) and sent this out mass e-mail.
Very suitable for Facebook postings too!
Thanks...it puts Mitt's face on a dick.

[calimary]

67. Mitt Romney: The Guy That Looks Just Like The Guy That Fired Your Dad.

EXCELLENT. Should be said, read, and SPREAD!

And anymore, it can be used in other ways - "The Guy That Looks Just Like The Guy Who Laid You Off."

[Spazito]

5. Oh my, that is really, really good!

Succinct, makes the point without dramatics and is quite powerful in it's simplicity and directness.

Well done, Obama Campaign!

[randome]

6. The Obama campaign is swift!

They can turn on a dime and the Republicans cannot even hope to catch up at this point.

2012 is, indeed, the end of the world. For some of us.

[NYC Liberal]

7. I remember they were great in 2008 at this

They had an ad out about McCain's "houses" gaffe within 24 or 48 hours of it.

[aquart]

11. They intend to spend billions to try.

[Surya Gayatri]

23. "It's the end of the world as we know it...,

And we feel fine!" (Couldn't resist--it's so fitting!)

[malaise]

8. Delish

Butter???

[nc4bo]

9. Owie.

You couldn't pay me enough money to be in the same room with Mr. Willie right now.

[aquart]

10. Succinct.

Bazinga!

[perdita9]

12. The 3AM phone call is here. Can you handle it, Mitt?

[TBF]

62. 3 am? Mitt will have that line re-routed to a call center in India ... nt

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

63. But India is 10 hrs in the future.

USA 3 AM is India 1 PM (same day)... just after lunch time.

[TBF]

64. I think you missed the point. nt

[mwooldri]

65. Time zones... time zones... mumbai is 9.5 hours ahead.

But still a certain country singer said it's 5 o'clock somewhere, so I guess it's 3am somewhere... if Mr. Romney gets that important call at when o'clock will he or Obama be the best person to handle it? All I know is that Mr. Obama got that 3am call, and Mr. Bin Laden is now permanently swimming with the fish. Would Mr. Romney outsource the hunting of Mr. Bin Laden to the Pakistanis?

[xxqqqzme]

13. Who is the voice over?

It sounds so familiar.

[ChazII]

20. It does sound familiar

and my brain tells me I should be able recognize it. Hopefully, someone will be able to answer our question.

[riverwalker]

21. Peter Coyote, I think n/t

[Surya Gayatri]

26. I take back my guess just below, rw. It IS

Peter Coyote and not Tom Hanks.

[Drunken Irishman]

30. Sure sounds like it!

[Drunken Irishman]

32. It would be funny if it is Peter Coyote, since he narrated the opening of the '02 Winter Olympics...

[micraphone]

37. Oh yes, that is Peter Coyote

(I am in the v/o & Radio biz, though not in the USA).. I thought he was a Repug?

He gets paid to do it though!

[The Midway Rebel]

59. Does not sound like Hanks or Coyote to my ears.

And there is NO WAY Peter would be a Republican.

He was one of the original Diggers, wrote for Mother Jones and is a counter culture hero of sorts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Coyote

[Surya Gayatri]

25. Tom Hanks, I think...he's already done several

for them. And he's working actively for "Re-elect Obama".

[Gregorian]

15. Obama's talent is wasted on this pinhead.

With all due respect to Pee Wee Herman, this is like Ali going up against...

[evilhime]

16. Primo!!!!!

[Douglas Carpenter]

17. excellent ad - perfect

[Tx4obama]

18. K&R n/t

[NNN0LHI]

19. Say goodnight Mitt

[Scurrilous]

22. K & R

[spanone]

24. fuckin' a

[snappyturtle]

27. That is so wonderful I had to replay it! Romney is cooked! nt

[2ndAmForComputers]

28. I never doubted an easy Obama win, but could I dream...

...of a (WORD-THAT-MAY-NOT-BE-TYPED-IN-DU)slap of ungodly proportions?

[madamesilverspurs]

29. For those of us unable to watch videos --

could someone please give a synopsis?

Thanks!

[Ruby the Liberal]

33. The transcript is in the quote box of the OP.

[madamesilverspurs]

35. Thanks.

Wondered if it was that concise.

[NYC Liberal]

41. I've edited to make it clear that it's the transcript

[Ruby the Liberal]

31. I am just having the best day today.

And this just added to it.

[emulatorloo]

34. Clear, concise, and devastating.

Brilliant.

[Daphne08]

36. That's a great ad!

[april]

38. it dosen't get any better than this !

[Skidmore]

39. Prove it, Mitt.

[nolabear]

40. This is like a good end game of chess. Check (move) Check (sweat, move) Check.

And in Novemer it will be Checkmate. Or in this case, Checkmitt.

[secondvariety]

42. Great ad.

Unfortunately it'll go over the head of the average American voter.

[Swede Atlanta]

43. I am so glad that team Obama is not a bunch of PC bound imbeciles.....

The other side will use their $1BN+ war chest to bury Obama. Now is the time to get the facts out and put Mr. Magic Underwear on the defensive even before he has been officially nominated.

I wonder how many Repukes are sorry they didn't go with a safer choice like Pawlenty. Mittens isn't exactly a rousing speaker and Pawlenty is worse but at least Pawlenty probably doesn't have a Bain and offshore safe haven problem.

Yes, repukes, the election is likely to be decided on the question of who is in the best position to right our economic ship. The problem for Mittens is his form of business management involves lying, shipping U.S. jobs overseas and with that killing the livelihoods and retirement plans for thousands of Americans. Obama has fought at every possible point to protect American jobs (except when he engages in this global economic free trade shit).

But a choice between the two? Obama hands down. The only problem for the American people is if you don't get rid of the House majority and snuff out the filibuster threat in the Senate this country is DOOMED.

[xtraxritical]

44. Exactly, we must have strong majorities in both houses of Congress.

Vote a straight Democratic ballot!

[Tarheel_Dem]

45. That's one helluva kick ass ad!

[WillyT]

46. HUGE K & R !!!

[Blanks]

47. No evidence.

I'm thinking that he may have spoke too soon on that particular point.

What with the documents on the internets and all now.

[rury]

49. BRILLIANT SMACKDOWN....TOUCHE'!!!!!!

[AynRandCollectedSS]

50. I was having the worst day today...

But that definitely made it better, so TY for posting OP! AWESOME ad!!!

[Number23]

51. Rec!

[liberal N proud]

52. Hope it runs in all 50 states.

[The Magistrate]

53. Damn, Sir: That Is So Cold, If You Put It On A Loop, You Could Leave Off the Air Conditioner....

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."

[rug]

54. They're cutting his legs off at the knees before the convention.

By the end of the convention he'll be campaigning from a gurney.

[Vattel]

56. Not very compelling.

He doesn't deny that he was "officially" CEO, etc. There is evidence that he was actively involved in business decisions. Not presenting it seems to give Romney an escape. But given the intelligence of the average voter, this may play well.

[arthritisR_US]

57. I love that ad! n/t

[patrice]

58. Romney's dodge: Doesn want to talk about WHAT HE DID at Bain, only that's there's NO EVIDENCE.

[Lugnut]

60. Blam!

I'm loving every minute of this campaign.

[kellytore]

61. Call him Mr. Romney baecause

he won't ever talk about his four years of running Massachusetts.

[hue]

66. Just because a RWRepuke says "there is no evidence" doesn't mean the evidence doesn't exist!

[B Calm]

68. The next ad should show how much anti gun

legislation Romney has signed into law!

[Zalatix]

69. Now that is a stone-cold call-out.

I think a transformation is in progress..........
