[BeyondGeography]

1. Very strong

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Good job.

[Fawke Em]

3. They're fast over at OFA, aren't they?

Quality and quickly.

[bigtree]

7. you said it, Fawke Em

Quality and quickly.

[hifiguy]

4. No sound here at work, but the guy who rolled his eyes

pretty much said it all.

The Obama boiler room is running with a genuinely ruthless efficiency in getting responses out there.

[reformist2]

5. The more people hear Mitt, the more they dislike him.

[Grammy23]

14. Well, with stuff like this tape coming out----

What could we expect? We've known all along that people had a cautious dislike of this guy all along. But some were willing to vote for him because they wanted Obama out. So we figured they would hold their nose and vote for Romney anyhow. However, there was always the possibility that he would go too far and that might turn people off enough that they would just not vote. We never envisioned them coming over to Obama---but that they'd just stay home on Nov. 6th. Or at least that is what some of us were hoping would happen.

Well, it appears that our dreams came true and he really has gone too far this time. Whether they vote for Obama is not that important to me. If they just stay home and don't vote that may be enough to offset the ones the Republicans will disenfranchise through their voter purges around the country!

[Panasonic]

24. They need to be reminded that downticket Republicans needs to be voted out.

All of them, if possible.

Make sure 2012 will be remembered for the purge of the Teabaggers and Malcontents.

[eggplant]

28. +1. It's all about the downticket races. n/t

[avebury]

6. Fast and efficient response! nt

[lindysalsagal]

8. Brilliant that it's not just another pundit with today's opinion: It's regular people

I think the fact that these regular people speak intelligently on their feet, but lack the perfection of a professionally coiffed anchor, really makes it a bulls-eye.

No one wants to hear any more tv analysts/experts/personalities take sides. It's just an honest reaction of revulsion, rather than a policy debate.

[Speck Tater]

9. Nice Job. And quick on the draw! Way to go Obama team! nt

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Whomp there it is!

[nanabugg]

11. I LOVE Obama's Rapid Response Team

I think they may be holding back on ads in some places to save money to do this...respond to every lie and misrepresentation Mitt and Mittens (Paul) speak. It's great, simple, direct and even the teabaggers can understand it.

[smackd]

12. probably not coincidental that it's mostly females, either.

these guys are brilliant

[SpartanDem]

13. That didn't take long.

[SunsetDreams]

15. OUCH! I love that one! K&R

[yellowcanine]

16. Wow. That is powerful and well done. I like that they apparently used ordinary people

exclusively in the ad. Even if they are actors they look like ordinary people. Shazzam. Mitt is fucked.

[bigtree]

17. kick

[HopeHoops]

18. K&R

[magical thyme]

19. K&R nt

[Doctor Jack]

20. Glad Obama Is Running With This

It will keep this alive for much longer

[Whovian]

22. This needs to be kept alive through Nov. 7.

[Arugula Latte]

21. I think it's good, but they should have included some more men.

[justiceischeap]

37. There's probably reasons why they didn't have more men

1: The men probably wouldn't/couldn't stop to watch the video and participate. When I do random user-testing for apps, I always get more female respondents. Men often say they are too busy to participate.
2: The men they did stop probably agreed with most of what RMoney said
3: Women are actually the majority now, so appealing to women in this ad, who are more often than not referred to as victims, was smart.

[PotatoChip]

23. I love how on top of everything

the Obama team is!

Bravo!

[malaise]

25. Sweet as...!

Thanks

[Sophiegirl]

26. I hope that they come out with ads that

Feature elderly white men that say they indeed pay taxes and have all their life and why aren't they "entitled" to benefits they paid into for 50 years?

[oldbanjo]

27. It was short and to the point.

[Richard D]

29. They are really good.

I particularly liked the choice of music.

[Zalatix]

43. The music was almost as wise a decision as the video itself.

[goclark]

30. Outstanding! Thanks for posting

[Quantess]

31. I like the background music.

[Dalai_1]

32. Thank you for posting this! K& R

[johnnyrocket]

33. Best line: "If you try separate by classes, you're not really a president."

Excellent video.

[ailsagirl]

34. Spot on!!!

Man, Team Obama is fast!!

[speedoo]

35. Pound away, all the way to the election, and beyond.

Finish off Romney and never let America forget what the rethugs and tea baggers really believe.

Get the house back in 2014, and let Obama restore order in this country.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

36. This is campaigning in the information age.

You can actually take a video out on the road.

[WestWisconsinDem]

38. I would love to see Mittens completely, utterly, and permanently destroyed.

The prefect ending to all of this would be to see the rat bastard convicted of tax evasion. Thing is, unlike Dubya, *everyone* seems to hate Mittens, so I doubt even the right would save him-- or attempt to do so, as was the case for W and his legal transgressions.

[Ford_Prefect]

39. Pound every single Tea party candidate with this!

[hue]

40. Nice!! shared on FB!

[freshwest]

41. Nothing more un-American than 'writing off half the nation.'

He wants to run this country like a business.

And what happens to what is written off?

As if we didn't know.

[SpartanDem]

42. kick

[bigtree]

45. kick

[robinlynne]

44. why not talk about his taxes and tax havens?

[bigtree]

46. kick for those folks who missed this

[porphyrian]

47. ! n/t

[sarcasmo]

48. Run this in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida during the local news commercial time.

[Jennicut]

49. I love the guy who said "wow!"

Totally my reaction when I first saw the Mittens video. I was eye rolling too.
Team Obama is on top of things.
