The New Romney Ad

The new Romney ad is very slickly produced. Ads like these can work up to a point, even if the ad is dishonest, as Matt Finkelstein explains that it indeed is.

The ad features audio of the president saying, "There are always going to be bumps in the road to recovery." However, while Obama did make those remarks on the day the employment report came out, he was actually referring to "disruptions" that have added to economic uncertainty, such as the disaster in Japan and the Arab Spring.

As USA Today reported, "The president did not...specifically address the bad jobs report in his remarks."

Americans are concerned with high unemployment because it means they are not working and the "throw the bums out" mentality steps in and that's not an ideologically driven sentiment.

2. Anyone with half a brain knows what Obama was saying.

Romney is addressing this ridiculous ad to 50% of GOP voting morons.
