Where are Obama's Flip Flop Commercials?

Everyone keeps asking why would Team Obama not have hard-hitting ads featuring Romney saying one thing on an issue juxtaposed against him saying the opposite. It worked against Kerry, yet Obama won't do this simple thing? I don't get it.

the thing is he's got to tie the flip flops to a consequence - or people don't care. Like Laura PourMeADrink Oct 2012 #3
precisely, and tie it to trust and honor. Repubs always use integrity against Dems VirginiaTarheel Oct 2012 #5

For the last two weeks we will hear about President Obama's vision and plans for America during his second term, a positive, dignified way for the leader of the free world to end his campaign.

People have heard enough about Romnesia to get the point. Let Robmey get in the gutter if he wants but the President won't take the bait.

Mr Romney's ideas on healthcare do not include preexisting conditions. Now, he says they do. Do you want to take that chance with your family's health? That he won't flip back? For some, this is a matter of life and death.

coming in from all directions with Mitt's different positions on them.

I'd also like to see a .gif of Mitt dressed like a prostitute with the caption, "I'll be your Huckleberry. I'll take any position for a dollar, baby."

Alas, I think the Obama campaign is doing fine with out me or my suggestions.

Let Mitt stand there and flip around, scam on his own dime.

Romnesia captures the essence of the lying charlatan snake-oil salesman Mitt really is. He is a shape shifting chameleon who will say anything to get elected. I think flip flopping is more a statement on one's fickle demeanor. Rmoney is not merely fickle, he's a brazen liar.
