Romney attacks Obama’s negative campaigning with a negative ad of his own

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/romney-attacks-obama-negative-campaigning-negative-ad-own-193043427.html


A new Romney television ad released Sunday features a series of political pundits questioning whether Obama has abandoned his message of "hope and change" to pursue attacks on the presumptive Republican nominee.

"When the president was elected, he talked about hope and change. Whatever happened to hope and change?" CBS News's Bob Schieffer is shown saying. "Now it seems he's just coming right out of the box with these old fashioned, negative ads."

The 30-second ad also features the New York Times' David Brooks, who mentions Obama's "inaccurate ads." It also features a clip from a MSNBC interview in June with Time Magazine's Mark Halperin, who says Obama and his allies "will run more negative ads against this Republican nominee, in 2012, than have ever been run in the history of the world."

The ad concludes by repeating footage of Schieffer asking, "Whatever happened to hope and change?"

just like... Romney demanding an apology after he has spent months, distorting, misleading, misinforming, lying and generally being dishonest about President Obama's record and actions...

Weak, very weak.

Hope got stabbed by Wall Street Bankers, Hedge and Equity funds late in the 2008 Presiddential election, and the Affordable Care Act is now the undisputed law of the land, Gay and Lesbian rights have moved forward half a light year, and American made cars are outselling the competition again..

Thanks to Obama there still is hope we still can avoid the a Full, Depression; no thanks to the Republican Party.
