Obama is going to hit Rmoney and Thuglicans in general with these type of ads. Since Rmoney says he's going to "fact-check" Obama in the debates, I'd like to see Obama steal Rmoney's thunder by hammering him on how factual he'll be during his opening statement, or early on in the questioning.

4. The story of Mittens the dog

I have some advice for Mitt:

In a news story from Minnesota that recently crossed "the wires",
there is a potential lesson -and hope- for candidate Mitt Romney.
The very  same Mitt Romney who, in recent remarks,
abandoned nearly half the people in America.

It’s a story about a 4 year old Pekingese dog, appropriately enough named "Mittens", and an abandoned kitten. Stay with me.

Mittens' owner, Pat Weber, says the kitten was just days old when her grandson found her in the family's barn and brought her into their house in early September. Weber says the 2-inch kitten was "ice cold," ...She wrapped the animal in a warm towel and it started meowing, which attracted Mittens.

The kitten, now named Bootsie, began suckling on Mittens. Weber says her dog, which had a litter two years ago, has nursed Bootsie ever since.  "Mittens has been mothering this baby, as far as she is concerned it's hers," she said. "And as far as the kitten is concerned, this is her mother”.

Mr. Romney:  What a wonderful, heart-warming lesson for you!

For if Mittens the dog can find it in her heart, not only to adopt Bootsie the cat, but to actually start lactating for her....then perhaps Mitt, the candidate, can ALSO start lactating a bit with the milk of human kindness and understanding- for all those Americans that HE has abandoned. 

Who knows?.. it might even encourage Mr. Romney to run as President for ALL the people  - not just a potential President of the wealthy, by the wealthy, and for the wealthy. 

Think about it Mittens ....I mean Mitt.

But don’t you worry Mitt:
‘cause while you may never be elected dog-catcher 
(and for good reason!).... I’ll bet you ten thousand dollars
that Mitt Romney, the Big Flipper, 
will ALWAYS have a job at
The International House of Pancakes  .

Mitt may as well just drop out. You let something like that come out, your campaign's over. Only the dumbest of the dumb will even consider voting for him now, which, thankfully, is not enough for him to win. I'm up to five right-leaning coworkers who've told me the 47% thing have changed their vote. They may not vote for Obama but at least they're not voting for Mitt.
