I would say this is a new low, but recall after the 2008 election how the media gushed about Obama then.....

That ad is hilarious. It's positive and creative.
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

It's cute, except that we've all been taking it in the a** from Obama for four years. Sometimes it's good to know when it's time to move on.

So Romney should do a parody ad with some guy saying "my first time taking it in the a** was with Obama."

LOL

Was there a special line for this or something? I missed out!

My life is better than it was 4 years ago. Huh.

I'm ambivalent about this. I don't find it as offensive as bcspace does, but it does seem like there's an underlying contempt for young women in the ad. But then I'm an old white guy, so what do I know? I will say that it may be well received by younger voters, but it might not play so well with moderate independents.

Good point. With Romney and three sister wives, you could cut this irritation down by 75%. Of course, that barefoot, pregnant and constantly needing to make sandwiches has its drawback as well.

Wish Jonathan Swift was around to make a Romney video.
