Have you seen that "It wasn't supposed to be this way" ad by Rove's

[Skidmore]

New Majority Agenda group. The one that ends with something like "it's okay to make a change."

It is on a lot here and is a bunch of claptrap. I'd like to see one along those same lines only with a list of bills which could benefit the nation as a whole with comments by Republicans in Congress who actively obstructed them. Wind up with McConnell's agenda for the congress to make certain that the President isn't reelected and a statement of it's okay to make a change of members in a congress that won't do its job.

Or have people forgotten we are also electing legislators?

1. Yes and seems to be one of their favorites.

And really like your idea of a counter ad answering these silly allegations.

I don't think people have forgotten.......I don't know what to think about the ones who elected these idiots into office.

I do know that some are not happy that their champions aren't acting teabaggy enough ((*see renee ellmers))

2. Yep ...

I'd like to see the campaign take the exact ad and insert the list of bills that republicans (and some Democrats) rejected and use the "it's okay to make a change" tag line, along with the "this is President Obama and I approve this ad, at the beginning and end of the piece.

Then air it twice for every time that the gop ad runs.

That would have the effect of flipping the gop ad to a Democratic positive.

3. I don't know who to pass this on to that might do something like

this.

6. The sad thing is ...

We have the talent right here on DU to put together this kind of ad, if not a rough version that can be passed onto someone in the campaign ... that we also have people here with the connections to do it.

But it won't happen.

4. I agree. That list of bills rotting-in-process needs to be exposed to the light of day.

Democrats don't talk about this enough. Forget the bills that passed, show the bills that they kept from the floor vote.

They could probably make an ad with no words...just a slow "roll" of the bills' numbers and titles...that would be enought to take up all the ad time. If you want noise, play McConnell, Cantor and Boner in the background extolling their plan to make sure Obama is a one-term president.

7. That is what I don't understand ...

Democrats don't talk about this enough. Forget the bills that passed, show the bills that they kept from the floor vote.

President Obama is out there everyday talking about his Jobs Plan that the gop (and some Democrats) killed; but no Democrats, that I have heard, are following his lead!

It would seem that, even in the reddest of red districts, an ad saying "here is where we are ... better, but in no stretch of the imagination, are we in a good place. This is what we have tried; this is what the experts have said would happen if passed; this has been the gop response; this is the gop alternative; this is what the experts say about that alternative; and end with this is a change that you can make happen!"

5. An ad using that meme and Mitch McConnell's statement about Republicans' main goal being to deny our

president a second term could be good.

Then a list of a few of the major job bills the president has put forward and the vote tallies-- all Republicans against.

Then Mitch again.

Was it really supposed to be this way? I thought their signs said "Country First" -- not politics first.
