And the Obama Team is going to spend money to give more airtime to Romney's crap? I don't get it.

Here is my version:

We see a resume on a business table. The hand of an HR person who represents the American voters is in the frame, tapping the table next to the resume as we hear their voice:

"We contacted your former employer and the dates you put on your resume don't match up with what they told us..."

Romney's voice (audio clip) “I left in February of 1999 to go out and run the Olympics, I went out and did that full-time, relinquished all management authority and role in Bain Capital after February of 1999.”

"That is what you said before but Bain was still paying you in 2002. They list you as CEO and sole shareholder. We can only verify one year of your employment, 2010"

Romney's voice (audio clip) “Those those are the two years that people are going to have. And that's all that's necessary for people to understand something about my finances.”

"Well like I said, we only have one year, 2010, and to be clear your finances are not what concerns us. We want to know whether you lied on resume and whether you should have checked the box next to "have you ever commited a felony?"

Romney's voice (audio clip) "This is reckless and absurd... it's something which is beneath...dignity.”

"Sir, this job requires a very high security clearance. We have a duty to insure that the person filling it can be trusted." (the sound of a chair pushing back, footsteps) "Hey aren't you going to clear this up for us?"

The sound of a door closing. Now we see business pants and Romney-like shoes walking down a hallway as we hear as if talking to himself:

Romney's voice (audio clip with hallway echo) “The president needs to take control of these people. He ought to disavow it and reign in these people who are running out of control. He sure as heck ought to say that he’s sorry for the kinds of attacks that are coming from his team.”

Cut To: Graphic with the text:

"This kind of behavior wouldn't get YOU a job. Why should it work for Romney?"

To run the self-righteous comments and attacks of past convicted felons as they were indicted or led to the courthouse- like Capone or the current mob of bankster swindlers. Pretty fair, considering his open involvement in shady unAmerican business deals.

They "fought back" too and were not only as guilty as hell but well past the point of personal doom. The chicken squawks when its neck is stretched out.
