Notes: This video
builds on the "Bump in the Road" video from a few days ago. According to a campaign press
release:
The video highlights President Obama’s failure to create jobs for millions of unemployed Americans and pull the country out of this economic downturn.
Romney
for President Press Secretary Andrea Saul issued the following
statement along with the video release: “In 2008, candidate Barack
Obama talked a lot about how the other side ‘just didn’t get it.’ Now
that millions of Americans have lost their jobs under his economic
leadership, President Obama is proving ‘he just doesn’t get it.’ His
White House continues to defend failure and is unwilling to admit the
devastation caused by the President’s mistakes and failed leadership.”
While Romney is trying to portray Obama as out of touch, he inadvertently provided Democrats with grounds for making the same argument with a joke he told at a Florida campaign event. Here's the press release (June 16) from the DNC:
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s Statement on Mitt Romney’s Out of Touch Comments Today in Florida that He’s “Unemployed”
Washington, DC— DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman
Schultz released
the following statement after Mitt Romney today told a group of
unemployed Floridians that he’s “also unemployed” and equated his run
for president with the search for a job:
“Mitt Romney’s comments today at an event with unemployed Floridians that he’s ‘also unemployed’ is inappropriate and insensitive to the millions of Americans looking for work. This comment shows that Mitt Romney – a man who wants for nothing and whose only occupation for more than four years has been to run for President - is incredibly out of touch with what’s going on in our country and around the dinner tables of those who are out of work.
