New Obama Spot Questions Romney’s Tax Plan
October 04, 2012 at 5:02 pm
The Obama campaign Thursday afternoon unveiled a new ad in Florida and several other swing states raising questions about Mitt Romney’s tax plan.
Using footage from Wednesday night’s debate in Denver, the spot starts with a clip of Romney from the debate saying “I’m not in favor of a $5 trillion tax cut. That’s not my plan.”
The 30-second television ad then cuts to a clip of NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell saying “The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center concluded that Mitt Romney’s tax plan would cost $4.8 trillion over 10 years.”
“Why won’t Romney level with us about his tax plan, which gives the wealthy huge new tax breaks?” the ad’s narrator asks.
“Because according to experts, he’d have to raise taxes on the middle class – or increase the deficit to pay for it,” the narrator continues.
Flashing from an image of Romney at last night’s debate to a photo of the Oval Office, the narrator closes with ”If we can’t trust him here… how could we ever trust him here?”

I am tired of the constant bashing on both parties!! How about tell me what your going to do with another four years that you could not get done in your past four. I know that lying in the social media is part of the political enviromental prosess,( which is pritty sad ) but so far, many studies and many diffrent opinions, but the real truth is, that as a country we need to come together as one. To figure all together how to change and grow. We cant move foward until we figure how we change what we have broken. You can’t do it by yourself. Stop the bickering. Bring this country that we live in together instead of dividing it. Instead of promoting change and moving foward, how about working together to “GET IT DONE”. Remember you are working for us “The People”. A president main job is to “LEAD”, so do it.
