Politics – Chicago Style–
In their latest attack ad the Obama Campaign labels Mitt Romney a felon.
This shot appeared for over six seconds on the screen during the ad.
Via The Weekly Standard:

Here’s the ad:
When all else fails call your opponent a felon.
The Weekly Standard reported:
The words, “FELONS” and “TAX RECORDS,” are displayed onscreen for at least six seconds, so the Obama campaign wants to make sure its viewers see the words.
Given the title of the ad–and the subject–the ad wants viewers to consider that Mitt Romney might not be releasing more tax returns because, the Obama campaign is suggesting, he might be a felon.
This isn’t the first time the Obama campaign has accused Romney of possibly being a felon. Last month, Stephanie Cutter, an Obama deputy campaign manager, said that Romney is either a liar or a felon.

Again, it’s not wise for the Chicago gang to bring up felonies.

Will The Negative Press From Romney’s Foreign Tour Matter In November?
That last part is likely true, but the point remains that the economy is and will remain the top issue in this election. On Friday, we’ll get the July jobs report and, if indications to date are any guide, it seems fairly clear that we will see a continuation of the same trend we have seen since March. Sometime next week, Romney is likely to name is Vice-Presidential running mate. After Friday, there will be three more jobs reports to come out before Election Day, the last one on the Friday before people head to the polls to vote. Does anyone really think that, at that point, people are going to be thinking about the fact that got the British tabloids or the Palestinians angry, or that his press aide cursed out the media one day in late July? That seems unlikely. There are plenty of hurdles that Romney would have to overcome to become President, I discussed some of them yesterday, but minor gaffes in the late summer aren’t likely to be one of them.

This one needs many complaints filed with the FCC . . . not that it will matter, given that the FCC is under the control of our diktator.

This is a set up .. That is all any clear, level headed person, with a brain can conclude. Someone on Obats side is trying to bring Romney out and call out Obats felonies in broad daylight… He, they know by pointing fingers at Romney is deadly to Obats health.
Lets all hope that Romney picks his fights well and this is one fight he will slam all the way home.. Obat, is by far the most corrupt, felonious, sneaky, back stabbing, reneging, secretive, closeted, socialist, president that this nation has ever elected fraudulently.. We as a nation must at all cost undo this crime against this nation in Nov for the good and greatness of the republic and it’s people. If the election is not undone we as a nation will be no more and the people will revolt and chaos is only the beginning, not the end… Peace be with you all…

This is a de-sensitization move. The Democrats at the national level have a history of bringing up false charges against their opponent, when in fact it is their own candidate who is guilty.
This ad convinces me that the Obama campaign is expecting the news to leak that Obama is guilty of a felony, and because the cocaine use in college is well-known already, I suspect it will be something else.

Can the President pardon himself? If so will he pardon Eric Holder and himself on “Fast and Furious” in the final days of the Presidency?

Is selling illegal weapons to Mexican drug lords a felony when those weapons are used to kill a Border Patrol agent?

The Romney camp needs to file a libel suit against the lying liars.
snap boy commented:
Wasn’t it Barack who got a steal of a deal on some property from a now convicted felon and wasn’t it Barack who was good buds with felon Blagojevich and felon Ayers?
Indiana commented:
The Obama Campaign will regret opening this door……
SCal commented:
Do you find yourself daydreaming about what you’d like Mitt Romney to say in reply to this and other Obama attacks? I do.
Here it goes…
Recently, President Obama has run ads that put the word “felon” in association with me. This type of nasty insinuation is baseless and desperate. The President is attempting to say, “Hey, I’m not saying this Mitt fellow is a felon; but he’s never PROVEN he isn’t.” Well, Mr. President, this line of attack coming from you surprises me! I have never performed any action that constitutes a felony. However, you have. In your own memoir, you mention your use of cocaine, possession of which is a felony. Playing by your rules, should I be running ads labeling you a felon – based upon your own admissions? Playing your insinuation games, should I go on to ask, “Mr. President when you used to possess cocaine, did you ever sell any to a friend? After all, when someone possesses a thing, he will often sell that thing – happens all the time on eBay. Were you a felonious possessor and seller of illegal drugs? You’ve never proven you weren’t.” However, I am not running that ad. That is not what concerns me today, not what concerns me about President Obama. I’m not concerning about his admitted felonious activities. I don’t care if he was smoking pot, snorting coke years ago. I don’t care if he was “Barackin’ Bad.” I care about his failed policies and the havoc they are causing. I don’t care that the President used drugs that constituted a felony. I care that America doesn’t get rolled and go up in smoke.
Redwine commented:
The campaign is covering (quite transparently) for Comrade Barry’s multiple felonies and high crimes and misdemeanors. It’s like a dog returning to its vomit.
Redwine commented:
SCal @15 – Great post. The Romney campaign would do well to use this.
J. Knight commented:
Not to worry folks. This shows how desperate the Obama Campaign is, apparently they see polls that show them sinking badly.

July 31, 2012 – by Greg Campbell
The Modern Face of Government: “Cronies” Are the New “Wiseguys”
[For example, earlier this month, the United States Air Force purchased
11,000 gallons of alcohol-to-jet fuel from Gevo, Inc. The only problem is
that the government paid just over $58 a gallon for the fuel while the
national average was $3.60 per gallon. While that seems odd at first,
the reason seems fairly clear once one takes into account that Vinod
Khosla owns 27% of Gevo, Inc. Khosla has made $474,534 in campaign
contributions, 86% of which went to Democratic candidates. It seems
one hand washes the other.
However, Khosla has been around the block and this isn’t his first
scam. While the chief backer of Range Fuels, a biofuel company,
he helped secure a government-guaranteed loan of $64 million,
only to go bankrupt a short time later, leaving taxpayers to pay
the price.
“Green technology”, while possibly holding real promise and benefit
to our country, has operated as a means of robbery by government
cronies. In an effort to promote it’s “green agenda”, the U.S. Navy
recently purchased millions in biofuels to promote a “greener” Navy
that can run on biofuels. However, in a blatant conflict of interest,
the company that secured the massive windfall is owned by Richard
Blum, the husband of Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein.
Scamming money from the deep-pockets of government has become
almost a career in and of itself. Jonathan Read, the CEO of Ecotality,
an electric car charger company that has secured $125 million from
the Department of Energy arrogantly explained,
“I’m a political beast and playing the political card is something that
when the time is right we’re going to play very hard… You call in your
chips when you have a specific project you want to go after.”
You heard the man. It pays to be a “political beast.” I honestly don’t
know what is more ridiculous, the fact that this idiot calls himself a
“political beast” or that he is actually able to scam the government
at the expense of the taxpayer.]
