Obama attack ad refocus on the economy
(CBS News) With the presidential campaign having become focused on Medicare and tax returns in recent days, a group backing Mitt Romney has launched a massive ad buy to draw attention to what polls show is the top issue to voters: The economy.
"Who can turn around America's economy?" an announcer says in the spot before asserting that Mitt Romney's private sector experience created "thousands of jobs." The narrator then says President Obama "wasted $800 billion on a failed stimulus and the jobless rate went up."
The super PAC Restore Our Future is spending $10.5 million, its largest advertising buy, on the ads ahead of the Republican convention next week. The ad will be seen in 11 swing states -- Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin -- starting tomorrow.
In an apparent reference to Romney's tenure as Massachusetts governor, the narrator says in the spot, "Romney cut spending and balanced budgets without raising taxes." There is debate on this point: As governor, Romney raised fees and closed some tax loopholes to fill a $700 million budget gap.
Restore Our Future has spent $70 million so far this campaign, most of it on Republican primary attacks on Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. Since Romney clinched the nomination, the pro-Romney super PAC has spent $18 million targeting the president through June, according to the Center for Response Politics.

Strongly Independent American Voter, You are a follower of Obama and have already made up your mind. Big Goverment and Making the Achievement Class pay for your mystakes.

Strong American Representive Republic Capitalist.
I wonder if this is the only thing you get paid for?
But you republican facists love high unemployment for minorities, so why are you complaining. You've been trying to keep minorities down for years by cutting education.
_______________________
First no one is cutting education, they are cutting bloated pensions by the teachers unions that we can never afford in the first place. Cut the pensions, save future generations of teachers, that actually teach. End tenure, no guaranty unless you do your job.
Second, the unemployment, welfare, food stamps for minorities is at an all time highs and growing under President Obama and the Democrats policies. That is simply a undeniable fact.
Seems like you're a victim of the un-educated. Let me educate you on what fascists do and how they do it. They do it with larger and larger government to support their policies.
Fascism advocates a state-controlled and regulated mixed economy; the principal economic goal of fascism is to achieve national autarky to secure national independence, through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.
It promotes regulated private enterprise and private property contingent whenever beneficial to the nation and state enterprise and state property whenever necessary to protect its interests. At the same time, fascists are hostile to financial capital.
Second - It's not JUST minorities idiot! Everyone needs to eat and have a roof over their heads! Didn't happen to you, lucky you! Have you done anything to help out any of your buddies who are having a hard time?
Fascism -
Any system of government in which property is privately owned, but all industry and labor are regulated by a strong national government, while all opposition is rigorously suppressed.
I don't think we are fascists! The regulation is for safety and nothing is rigorously suppressed!
I think you should be quiet and take a nap. Come back when you are sober!

BROKAW: We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.
ROSE: I don't really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?
BROKAW: Yeah, it's an interesting question.
ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very inspirational speeches.
BROKAW: Two of them! I don't know what books he's read.
ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
BROKAW: There's a lot about him we don't know.

And now, almost 4 years later we are beginning to see what Barack Obama's worldview is.
The American Main Stream Media has failed the American people.
Obama's America 2016
Love him or hate him, you don't know him.
Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to America's ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn't know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world.

You still believe he has a magic wand or something? YOUR reps stopped everything he tried to do, INCLUDING THOSE BUDGETS YOU KEEP MOANING ABOUT!
A past??? What past? What do you know about him that everyone else doesn't? He told his history in his books! Read them!
But it is all his fault. You are either very dumb or completely brain-washed to think HE is the problem!
A study by the Chronicle of Philanthropy found that residents in Republican-leaning states give more of their money to charity than those in Democrat-leaning states.....the seven states in which residents donated the lowest percentage of their income voted for President Obama. Damn those greedy conservatives!
Mitt Romney, the failed governor of a small state.
It is clear republicans are unworthy of and cannot be trusted to run government in a non idealogue fashion.
Or is it Raciest to point this out --
Those bad numbers belong to Obama and the 2007-2010 Democrats
