Mitt Romney released a new ad to counter the fallout from his infamous 47% comments caught on hidden camera video, saying "President Obama and I both care about poor and middle-class families."

1. Bullsh*t!

[Xipe Totec]

2. So, basically, the problem is too many Americans? nt

[annabanana]

3. Since it's clear that he only tells the truth in private

to very rich people in small groups.. this release is less than useless.

[Botany]

4. R you kidding me Mitt?

"Too many Americans are struggling to find work." How many thousands of jobs did
Bain send out of the country or just eliminate all together?

[KurtNYC]

5. He shakes his head "no" during pretty much the whole thing

It is like his mind is going 'do I believe what I am reading off this telePromptr?' Noooooo.

'Do I really give a poop ?' Noooooo.

[Avalux]

6. Nice try Stench. n/t

7. Did I read an article a few weeks ago about the projection for jobs?

Maybe I'm dreaming it, but I thought I read where there would be 12-16M new jobs in the next couple years which had been projected through a survey of leading manufacturers/corporations.

I also remember reading that both parties felt safe in using these numbers for projecting their estimate of how many jobs they would add during their administration.

Now, I have been having some pretty strange dreams of late...probably because of the upcoming election...but I hope someone can tell me these numbers are true. If so, then that's the only promising thing he said. The rest was covering his posterior from that damaging video.

12. 12 million in the next 4 years regardless of which president.

[Frustratedlady]

17. Thank you! I kind of had it right. eom

[LiberalFighter]

18. Rmoney initially came out saying that he would create those jobs.

An org came out and jumped on him saying didn't matter who was prez.

Yet, he says that businesses do everything without help from the government.

[Squinch]

8. What plan might that be, Mitt? You haven't given out any plan.

[LovePeacock]

9. Oh, come on! Tax cuts and deregulation! n/t

[mikiturner]

10. The new "I am not a witch" ad:

"I'm not a rich snob.
I'm nothing you've heard.
I'm you.
None of us are perfect,
But none of us can be happy with what we see around us.
Politicians who think raising taxes and implementing over-regulations and redistributing wealth are the ways to fix the economy.
I'll go to Washington and do what you'd do.
I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message.
I'm you."

Stolen from politicalwire.

11. he can't appear sincere.

he has all the classic mannerisms of a pathological liar.
say yes and shake head no. avoid eye contact even with a video camera. tonal inflections that say he is not invested in what he says.
how did this man ever find any success? he has the personality that others want to see trip.
why hasn't anyone pulled the rug out from under him?

13. Ted Kennedy did in 1994

So at least he didn't get away with it that time.

If only Shannon O'Brien had been able to do the same in 2002.

[nc4bo]

14. That wasn't a very good ad. In fact, it sucked

the air right out the room it was so bad

[fiorello]

15. Amazing! Romney tries to ride Obama's coattails!

I mean, really: Scott Brown in MA tries to present himself as 'President Obama and I...'. But Romney???

[sinkingfeeling]

16. He reminds me of a used car salesman. He lies and smurks as much as ole W!

[hamsterjill]

19. "My plan"

What plan? He's never given his plan.

And all this ad proves is that the sob can read from a teleprompter.

[circlethesquare]

20. Romney & His Gaffes

What more does Romney have to say to further tank his pole numbers?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

21. Kind of hard to take back comments like those IMHO

Interesting too that he agrees that President Obama cares about poor and middle-class families!

[qwlauren35]

22. Weak.

Does NOTHING to negate his statement.

[yends21012]

23. Talks out of both sides of his mouth

Smirks at the wrong times and as mentioned before shakes his head NO almost all the way through. He doesn't do that in other videos, especially when talking his version of the truth. Also, why doesn't he ever wear a tie? He is a businessman, or so he says. Dressing him down like an average Joe seems fake to me.

24. How about you tell us exactly what your plan is?

I hear crickets. Cutting taxes for the top 1% does not work.
