money. He got money from the Dept. of Education... More money than anyone ever got for this! He knows how to get the money out of Washington. No stone unturned kinda of bragging. He is very thorough in going to every single part of government and getting money out of them. He knows Washington! Hard to brag about not being a Washington insider after this video, as well as being conservative on gov. spending.

Right up there in front of God and everybody he flat out lied as if he thought he would never get caught. And he was almost right!

It's not necessarily his views that will upset people about this--I mean, whoop de do, he asked for money for the federal government after saying he never would--but the ease with which he lies is really, really alarming.

in TV ads, and NOT just in swing states. Show them for what they (Rs) are and he (Romney) is.

This same model is used for the vulture capitalism they revel in.

I'm frustrated with the inability to pin down Romney's lies with enough clarity that it gets through to the low information voter. This video would do that. The way Romney is outright bragging about getting money from the Government and then seen arguing that he didn't. This needs to be edited down so that it can be a 30 second commercial and seen on TV. The section where he actually laughs about getting money from the Department of Education for tickets for kids (his laugh sounding like "wow, I really duped them!&quot is powerful stuff.
