| Obama ad calls Mitt Romney's Bain Capital firm a 'vampire' |
| 2012-05-15 |
[Washington Post] President B.O.'s campaign is out with a tough new ad, "Steel," attacking former Massachusetts governor Willard MittRomney ...former governor of Massachussetts, currently the presumptive Publican nominee for president. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney's charisma is best defined as soporific, which is probably why he is leading the Publican field. On the plus side, he isn't President B.O... 's record on job creation. The two-minute ad focuses on GS Technologies, a steel mill in Kansas City, Mo., that was bought by Romney's private equity firm Bain Capital and went bankrupt soon after. The ad paints Romney as out of touch with the needs of the local workers and concerned only with Bain's own profits. "We view Mitt Romney as a job destroyer," says one former mill worker in the ad. Another calls Bain "a vampire. They came in and sucked the life out of us." |

| #13 Bain Capital was not "Romney's firm". He was employed there, but the company wasn't "his". Do we have any evidence that Romney himself actually had anything to do with GS Tech? |

| #12 This tactic just goes to show he is intentionally preying on the ignorant. That's the only chance socialists have. Yes, and thanks to the MSM there are plenty of 'em. |

| #8 Also -- GS shut down in 2001 -- Romney left Bain in 1999 to head up the Olympics.... |

| #7 Coming from the administration which has done nothing about the big Vampire Squids, nor even about Jon Corzine, this ad makes Obama look even more like a fool. Ad is just playing on the Matt Taibi's popular meme/simile. |

| #6 I knew I could find it if I looked. You can too. Here's just a sample of what you find when you google gs technologies union strike. Now, who's the vampire, sucking the life blood from job creators all over the country? |

| #5 Embed linky didn't work but the target of ObamaÂ’s latest attack ad is also one of the Democratic PartyÂ’s largest contributors. See article in Washington Free Beacon. |
