New Romney Video Uses Footage Of Obama Singing

[Capt. Obvious]

After the Obama campaign hit Mitt Romney with a brutal ad featuring Romney singing, the Romney campaign is out with a new web video Monday morning using footage of President Obama famously singing a line of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” back in January. The video is titled “Political Payoffs And Middle Class Layoffs” and the line – “I’m so in love with you” – is used in the video as a love note from the president to his donors.

Very original! I think this is another version of Romney's rubber/glue strategy he's been using since 2002.

1. How pathetic

is Romney?

Here's a comment at the link:

Ok Im a republican and this ad sucks. Why are trying to use the same idea Barry and his campaign used. It looks like you are copying him.

9. good comment -

also Obama CAN sing, Romney can't

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. I guess Romney figures his voters have low IQs?

2. PeeWee Herman: "I know you are but what am I?!?!"

[stlsaxman]

3. Of course- they lead with an NPR Quote... who said it-

Inskeep, Mara or Cokie?

[tanyev]

4. They really don't want side by side comparisons of Mitt vs. Obama's singing, do they?

Somebody's not thinking these things through.

16. I think they need an ad with Obama coming out of the surf in Hawaii all wet and toned.

That'll really get those voters turned off...

5. The reason this doesn't work:

The Prez can SING.

[undeterred]

6. Nothing is going to sell the idea that Romney supports the middle class.

[Control-Z]

7. Terrible!!

Wow. That is so obviously their rubber/glue strategy at play again. Mitt just copies and projects. You'd think he would be embarrassed.

[Bluerthanblue]

8. imitation is the sincerest form of flattery-

The President wins hands down on this one.

[reformist2]

10. I won't tell them why, but that ad is going to have the opposite effect than they intend!

LOL

[ananda]

11. Lol

Because Obama can sing so cool.

[Lex]

12. Will Romney's campaign EVER come up with an original idea?

They are soooo on the defensive. Rocked back on their heels.

[rufus dog]

14. And Remember, Mitt's singing performance came in response

to Obama singing Let's Stay Together. They reacted to that by having the empty suit go out and sing.

[backscatter712]

13. Weak!

Compared to "Firms", this is amateurish!

[progressivebydesign]

15. Backfire!! the President is so damn sexy when he sings!!!

Another dumbass miscalculation on their part. Seriously, who is running their show? Larry Tate and Darrin Stevens???

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. Romney needs to dig up Samantha's nose and have it grafted to his face

Sam after all is the one who always saved Larry and Darrin's bacon by using magic to make the ad campaign work out.

17. LOL! Just keep reminding us how cool Obama is. And go to your fundraiser in London.

And get your foreign money. Gee, I wonder what they're buying...

(C'mon, easiest game in the world to play. And hell, I'd listen to this ad more than once just to hear that man sing. FAIL.)

[CakeGrrl]

20. Wow, they're as transparent as I HOPED they'd be.

I was just wondering if they'd use this ad, where by contrast, the POTUS sounds great.

And do they really want to get into donors?

Why, it's as if they walked into a trap.
