Romney Spokesperson said the absolute worst thing in response to an Obama SuperPac Ad
The commercial casts Mitt Romney’s business background in a severely negative light, but it's not a typical slash-and-burn attack ad. Instead, it features former GST Steel employee Joe Soptic speaking to the camera about what happened when the plant where he worked shut down.
"I don't think Mitt Romney understands what he's done to people's lives by closing the plant. I don't think he realizes that people's lives completely changed," Soptic said. “When Mitt Romney and Bain closed the plant, I lost my health care and my family lost their health care. And a short time after that my wife became ill.”
In 2006, Soptic's wife passed away.
On Fox News, Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul went "off-script," and amid a larger declaration about the ad being despicable and some pushback on the facts of the ad, she offered this statement in Romney's defense: "To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Governor Romney's health care plan, they would have had health care."
After that came the deluge of conservatives savaging Saul for getting lost on the road to Damascus, essentially accusing her of giving away the election.
The fury, in this instance, was led by Red State founder Erick Erickson, who earnestly tweeted: "OMG. This might just be the moment Mitt Romney lost the election. Wow." Ever since then, he's been blogging about Saul's statement as if it were a massive disaster, assuring his readers that "Mitt Romney’s ardent supporters are fit to be tied today." Rush Limbaugh has since piled on, telling his listeners that "Andrea Saul's appearance on Fox was a potential gold mine for Obama."

Yup. Upon reelection, Obama will proceed with his hidden agenda.
We shall become the third rate country that he and his minions believe we are.
Right now things are not great but they are getting better and we were saved from a disaster and relatively speaking as far as the rest of the world is concerned The United States is the cleanest dirty shirt.
The person who should get a lot of credit for that is President Obama.

And kiss any freedoms you ever enjoyed good bye.
Like fast food once in a while? Too bad! Obama knows what's best for you.
Want to send a nice homemade meal with your kids to school? Too bad, Obama knows what's best for your kids.
Enjoy the right to keep and bear arms? Too bad, Obama doesn't like it so it must go.
Want to smoke a nice pipe or cigar in the evening? Too bad, even though Obama smokes himself...and lies about it...he wants to tax tobacco into oblivion.
Gotta love socialist ideas! It's failed in EVERY instance in the history of mankind, but it just may work for Obama.
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Slogan/motto:
Try to be civil in the face of incivility. This is a test.

Well, if his agenda is to become Dictator of a third world country then I'd say he is working his plan.
Romney Campaign Insists It Has 'High Ground' In Increasingly Nasty Campaign
The Huffington Post | By Jon Ward 08/10/2012 12:23 pm
BOSTON - Advisers to Mitt Romney on Friday said that Presiden
t Barack Obama has diminished the presidency with his attacks on the presumptive Republican nominee, and defended their own questionable ads by saying they are part of a campaign that's "based on issues."
Asked about the Romney campaign's widely discredited attacks on Obama for waiving the work requirement in welfare assistance, Fehrnstrom insisted that this was a criticism of Obama's policy-making.

When Obama came from out of the blue and stole the nomination from Hillary Clinton.
Then Al Frankenstein stole the election from Norm Coleman.
Obviously, these folks, one way or another, are unbeatable!
