This is a hard-hitting campaign ad for those who can read. Of course, Obama’s sycophants are not necessarily in that cohort, so it doesn’t change any minds there.

Another blank ad that voices no message…..One that relies on the viewer reading small text flashed across the screen at subliminal speed. A commercial like this won’t capture the eyes and ears of an elderly viewer. In fact the commercial near supports Obama by freezing his giant logo to cool rhythm…the only audio in the entire spot……
Yes Obama is butchering the middle class. He is also hurting the elderly on fixed income. It is a crisis that deserves better than a below the breath wisper campaign.

Why don’t they just use his own words? “The private sector is doing fine…” Then a voice over of some stat that says otherwise. “The private sector is doing fine..” Voice over. “The private sector is doing fine…” Voice over.
Followed by that idiotic thing he said the other day about business people not having built the businesses before.
Followed by “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor…” Followed by how many doctors have gone out or quit taking Medicare!
Good grief! The ads practically write themselves!

What’s wrong?
I steal money from the working middle class and give to my lazy cronies… who keep me in power. Is that so wrong?
I have killed so many jobs that I chuckle about it. They only people who are working are working on K Street in Washington. And, they are working to skim money from you to give to me. I love a good scam!
Without the fleecing of the middle class people like David Axelrod would not have a job. I would have fired him!
David Axelrod is rehashing a new scam which I joking call the “DISCLOSE Act.” It is designed to make the Tea Party disclose all of their donors while my union cronies are keep in the shadows. Once we know who funds the Tea Party we can bankrupt them! Ha-ah!
Gad, my campaign sucks. But, if I can just bankrupt the Taxpayers then it will suck worse. My pig of a bus has died on the freeway and I have to use my limo. Good day.

If that’s the best the Romney campaign can come up with we’re toast.
DaMav commented:
One of the weakest ads from the Romney campaign. Only political junkies know about the numerous examples like Solyndra and this ad is virtually fact free.

Ugggh. Don’t make me dislike him even more vehemently. Very effective.
Ed commented:
I agree with #3 regarding using text without audio. However, I believe the ad would be very effective had they done that. And it would be a great ‘filler’ ad between productions.
Aleena commented:
I liked it, and I thought its message was very clear.
mcc commented:
I loved it, but then it speaks to us in ways pointed out by others…
The very fact that Jim posted the TEXT reveals its weaknesses. Hello…Ad Team Romney…
Someone who’s not a quick thinker or reader is going to miss alot of its impact. But maybe those are the hopeless ones anyway…
Will do well with the brighter independents, most likely.
