In latest outsourcing attack, Obama uses clip of Romney singing ‘America the Beautiful’
6:01 AM, Jul 14, 2012 | by Jennifer Jacobs |

Singing is the only sound in the Obama campaign’s latest attack ad, except for the president saying he approved the message.

The new TV advertisement again levels charges of outsourcing – a theme that has triggered accusations of lying from both sides in the last few days.

It features Mitt Romney singing the patriotic anthem “America the Beautiful” – a habit of his at campaign events during the GOP primary season.

As the Republican presidential candidate’s voice echoes – “Oh, beautiful, for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain…” – words pop up on screen slamming him on the same controversial outsourcing charges that have been under fire for weeks.

“In business, Mitt Romney’s firms shipped jobs to Mexico. And China,” the Obama ad says, citing a Los Angeles Times article from 2000.

The only thing Mitt is doing is saying ouch ouch not fair while getting punch into a nice mittness mess.

While at the same time getting the country out of a bushy mess.

New Obama Ad Bashes Romney’s Jobs Record

The Obama campaign is out today with a new ad hitting Mitt Romney’s jobs record. Over Romney’s slightly off-key rendition of “America the Beautiful,” the ad flashes headlines of the former governor’s outsourcing and offshore accounts.

The ad will run in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

5. Fucking A - awesome. Its creepy and sends a powerful message about Romney

He is a two-faced liar.

[glowing]

6. Great ad.. Love it. Telling the truth while the moron is singing in the background

and butchering the song.. America the Beautiful sung by him turns to shit, just like the things he did to destroy America with his corporate, greed is good, mind-set.

He's not the solution, he's the problem..

Like I said, why the Pukes thought running an out of touch rich guy who thinks he deserves the Presidency because he's the rich guy and is entitled to it now. He clearly doesn't like anyone who isn't on his own economic level. And his business and lifestyle are so out of touch and "let them eat cake", that regular people feel more and more like grabbing their pitchforks and hitting the rich... If anything, more and more people are more than ready to tax the wealthy 1%, close off the offshoring and tax free havens and tax write offs for dancing horses.

13. Wow!

I guess the gloves are off. Que the Faux News Republican manufactured outrage in 3, 2, 1...

Romney is certainly on his heels and this is the perfect ad right now. Make sure you paste the youtube to your facebook page.

Mitt is the precise wrong person to run for the GOP, after the financial meltdown and the backlash against Wall Street types, they run a Wall Street type, what the heck?

[riverwalker]

14. wow perfect!

I would include a split screen with rMoney son driving the luxury Winnebago/and a soldier driving a tank in Iraq with Willards quote
"they serve their country by working on my campaign"

[huckleberry]

[valerief]

23. Walter White has more scruples than Willard Rmoney.

And that ain't sayin' much.

[Generic Brad]

25. Off key & tone deaf

This summarizes what Romney is about.
