    Mitt Romney ran for Governor of Massachusetts promising more jobs, decreased debt, and smaller government.
    Here's what Massachusetts got instead:
    Jobs: 47th out of 50 states in job creation
    Taxes and fees: Increased more than $750 million per year
    Long-term debt: Increased more than $2.6 billion
    Fact is, Romney economics didn't work then, and won't work now.

    The United States has had two presidents who were CEOs: Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush. Need I say more? Running a government in a democratic society and running a business are two entirely different things which require different skills sets. A president has to serve all the people, not just wealthy Wall Street investors.

    I live in Massacusetts and it's true, Romney wasn't a very good governor. All though I do give him credit for Romneycare.

    One point this video doesn't make: Mitt was the 4th consecutive GOP Governor of MA, but by the end of his term he was so unpopular that he decided not to run for reelection, and his Lt. Gov---Kerry Healey---got smoked by 21 points when she ran in his place.
    Not running for a 2nd term was probably the best decision Mitt made as Governor.

    David Axelrod,
    NEXT commercial should have people remind others of why we voted Obama in 2008, NOT because he spoke so well, but because the economy was a mess. He gave us hope and he has been fighting to get America working again despite every obstruction. We can't afford to go back now.

    Good vid. Keep them coming.
    On a side note, I noticed you included a clip where Gov Romney is wearing his latest lapel pin. The gold elephant emblazoned on the red and white stripes of the flag pin is offensive to me and it makes him look like he's running for the Republican President of the United States of America; but, he's free to wear that lapel pin, and I'm free to dislike him for it. : )

    No wonder he had a 39% approval rating at the end of his term. That is why he didn't run for reelection. The only truth I have heard him say is that he 'fostered bi-partisanship.' He did, he turned both parties against him.

  • @crazyjohns1
    @crazyjohns1 Před 12 lety

    Obama must continue pointing out this poor record, and pointing out the fact that Romney does not talk hardly at all about his time as governor. It's just like a person applying to be the head of a company, hoping those who will decide if he is successful, hoping those with the decision will not look into his poor record or ask questions regarding his failure being head of a certain department!

    People need to vote for Obama and not throw their vote away on Ron Paul or anyone else. When we got bush instead of Gore, that's what happened. It can happen again and we'll end up with Romney.

    A month or two before voting both sides will go full force. The debate is coming between Obama and Romney and we will see what the real Obama can say to shoot Mitt down. I'm a Mitt supporter and I look forward to this debate as much as you ;0). Like I said, both sides haven't really tried yet. It only matters when everyone's paying attention.

    it makes not sense to elect a man who cannot commit to a stance on any given issue. This man simply wants to get your vote and hold the most powerful position in the world. What his true agenda is, Who the hell knows, but you can be sure of one thing...The middle class will be destroyed and completely disregarded under this man's presidency. We need HOPE, we need a brighter future, we need PRESIDENT OBAMA back in office to finish what he started.
    OBAMA 2012

    A Quote from this video:
    "The only place that I remember Mitt Romney actually cutting taxes was for the 278 wealthiest families in our state (Massachusetts)."
    He said WEALTHIEST, without the caps. THAT'S the word we should pay the most attention to. Why? The 279th wealthiest family (or person) was SCREWED. He/she was experienced the same disaster as the rest of the middle class.
    So if I wasn't too young, I'd vote for Obama pretty soon.

    This ad is terrible! The first minute is all romney campaigning. This isn't a documentary, this is youtube. You lost me after the first minute and the only reason I personally kept watching is because I'm already 100% an obama supporter. If I was on the fence I would have already moved on to the next video. Come on Obama, you can do better than this!
