They did use his own ad though. Although it is edited, it was still an actual Romney ad. JaneyVee Sep 2012 #5

But wonder if there is a reason they included that. The OFA team is super smart.

I'm sure lawyers were probably brought in.

Say "Oh, I didn't mean any of that?"

It's one of those things where if he makes a stink about it he only draws attention to it, and drawing attention to the fact that he's a lying liar made of lies isn't a great way to win an election when there are 5 weeks left.

It was clear to me that the ad was deconstructing Romney's claim. And at the end, the ad had two elements that showed it was not Romney's ad, but one attacking him. The ad was by an Obama supporting super PAC. You have been a big Obama attacker during the past. Why don't you cry out about the grossly incorrect and crude ads Romney supporting super PACs are putting out?
