First Romney TV Ad Falsely Presents McCain Campaign Quote As Obama’s

BREAKING: First Romney TV Ad Falsely Presents McCain Campaign Quote As Obama’s

The Romney campaign’s very first television ad, released this evening, dishonestly presents a 2008 McCain campaign quote as the words of President Obama. The ad features a voice-over of Obama saying “if we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose.” Then-candidate Obama indeed said those words, perhaps dozens of times during the closing month of the 2008 campaign. The only problem? Obama was actually quoting the words of a strategist from Sen. John McCain’s campaign.

1. If Obama said something like "I'm afraid I can't agree with that"
Some Republican would quote only the first two words "I'm afraid" and claim it show Obama's cowardice.

2. How pathetic is that? Truly. Romney's very first ad is just a blatant lie.
Pathetic.

6. How low is that?
Romney can't even run on his on record? He has to lie and distort President Obama's words? Pathetic.

8. I'm so glad they worded it that way. On MSNBC, they've been saying that Romney took
Obama's words "completely out of context." No-it's worse than that. They weren't even really Obama's words.
