And this time, he doesn't need a fucking chair.

Conservative SuperPAC American Crossroads will bombard battleground state airwaves over the final two weeks of the campaign, releasing a string of new ads aimed to sway undecided voters. The first spot stars iconic movie star and director Clint Eastwood, who's already made an indelible mark on the 2012 campaign:
This ad reportedly tested very well with focus group audiences. Next up is an ad hitting Obama's reckless borrowing and debt, with a focus on our largest foreign creditor. This commercial will air in five states, one of which -- unsurprisingly -- is Ohio. The take-away imagery isn't subtle:
It's been awhile since "you didn't build that" was a major theme of the presidential race, but this third spot resurrects it to some extent -- featuring small business owners explaining how the president's policies and regulations have strangled their livelihoods:
Finally, voters will meet the Oparowski family. People who followed the Republican National Convention closely will already be familiar with this story, but millions of Americans will hear it for the first time. This is a moving tribute to Mitt Romney's generosity of spirit and compassion, which could help solidify the Republican nominee's emerging (and once-improbable) personal favorability advantage over the incumbent:
In total, these ads will run across some combination of eight swing states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin. The spots have more than $16 million behind them, a massive buy that will ensure that a lot of eyeballs see the spots. The Romney campaign is also running a slew of ads, and is reportedly considering airing a 30-minute "documentary" commercial in the closing days. The Obama campaign is getting help of its own, too. A made-for-television movie about the Bin Laden raid is being re-edited to include more footage of the president (it will air two days before election day), and MTV will broadcast a half-hour interview with Obama on Friday. According to the New York Times, the Bin Laden film casts Mitt Romney as a villain who opposed the raid, which is untrue.
The return of Clint Eastwood.

Yes, the chair was clearly the problem.

Re: The return of Clint Eastwood.
LMFAO, you're such a misinformed imbecile. Did you even watch Mitt's 47% tape? He said China is not lending us money anymore. It was about the only thing he said that was factually accurate.tylamonroe wrote:Next up is an ad hitting Obama's reckless borrowing and debt, with a focus on our largest foreign creditor.
In the advertisement, senile Clint says:
"We borrow $4 billion every single day, much of it from China."
In Mitt's 47% speech he says:
"The Chinese aren't loaning to us anymore. The Russians aren't loaning it to us anymore."
Turns out Mitt is right for once. China has reduced their treasury holdings this past year by 125 billion dollars (which in GOP speak is "almost a trillion dollars") and they are not lending to the federal govt now.

China Aug 2012: 1153.6
China Aug 2011: 1278.5
So far as Obama's debt, the deficit increased 1.4 trillion dollars in calendar year 2008. It was 1.089 trillion in FY 2012. So Obama has reduced the deficit by 28%.
National Debt increased 1.4 trillion in 2008:
12/31/2007 9,229,172,659,218.31
12/31/2008 10,699,804,864,612.13
So far as Obama's spending, federal spending has not even kept pace with inflation under Obama. The big spender was Bush and the GOP. Spending fell in FY 2010 and 2012.
Federal Spending (thousands):
FY 2001: 1,863,039 (Clinton's last budget)
FY 2008: 2,978,440
FY 2009: 3,520,082 (Bush's last budget)
FY 2010: 3,455,835
FY 2011: 3,599,285
FY 2012: 3,538,446
Romney is the one promising to increase the deficit by cutting taxes and increasing defense spending. Obama plans to continue to reduce the deficit.
Another thread, another fail. You're batting ZERO today bitch boy.
