This could be a VERY effective ad.

Brilliantly simple, and speaks for itself.

I am better off! Guess I know who I'll be voting for. :)
 
Like there was a ever a shred of doubt.

Wow. Just.Wow.

Every Republican on this website who likes this video and who's a Facebook user should post this on their page. I just did.

Thing is, that ad is not going to convince anyone to vote for Romney.

Sure it could. If someone's on the fence and plans to vote, it could very will swing them away from Obama. That's why anyone runs negative ads.

Or, it could easily convince someone to stay home and not vote, which is one less vote Romney has to overcome.

Only far left liberal hacks like yourself who have been brainwashed into a cult of hope and change

The rest of the country is waking up after a 4 year nightmare Oblamo failed presidency

I don't really think so.

It has some good moments but I think most of it is bull****. For example ending dependance on foreign oil is a common campaign promise candidates make but it obviously never pans out, both sides should stop promising something so ridiculous BUT promising to end it or decrease it is a pledge and they should be held accountable for not doing it. "Army of New Teachers" there's no context for this, he may be speaking in different states to different audiences but you don't know because the video doesn't say.

The infrastructure and college tuition pieces are pretty good since not much has been done with either of those since 08 and unlike "Army of Teachers" are things which can be done at a Federal level.

For me, I gotta see more than comparisons of 3 second sound bits to make an opinion.

But I do agree that if I was a Republican campaign manager I'd want this ad on a lot.
 
Again, do you really? The more you post, the more I think you do get how effective it could be.

It ignores what has happened during the last 4 years, and what he has done, and just makes you want to think that he's done nothing but twiddle his thumbs. It lacks all sense of critical thought, and only appeals to the base.
 
someone should make an ad featuring the promises that have been made over and over about trickle down economics.

No, it's going to play for quite a bit more than just the "base," by which I assume you mean Republicans. If he's saying the same things, nearly verbatim, as 4 years ago, then the question of what he's accomplished in that time is indeed legitimate, and it's starkly raised. You may attempt to justify or explain it, but that doesn't take away from the starkness of the question.

First off, there's no way of knowing when the two things were actually said, it's pretty common for Presidents to talk about the things they talked about during their campaign. It just doesn't seem like that good of an ad to me.
 
Hmmm... Am I better off than I was 4 years ago? No. Is that Obama's fault? No. I always assume that we are responsible for our own actions and choices. Obama has done nothing that has altered my life. People, especially during elections, place FAR too much importance on the effect that the electing of a politician will have in their lives. For the most part, that election will be insignificant to one's daily comings and goings.

In 2000, when Bush was elected, the US wasn't destroyed. In 2004 when Bush was re-elected, the US wasn't destroyed. In 2008 when Obama was elected, the US wasn't destroyed. In 2012, be it Obama or Romney, the US will not be destroyed. Those who think differently are hacks who have no sense of reality and the actual effect ONE person has.

I get tired of the daily idiotic rhetoric surrounding this... and most elections. Reality is that as a singular event, they are not very significant.

What do you mean there's no way of knowing? The ad tells you. Are you saying they're lying?
