Obama for America

"Policy" +

:30 ad from Oct. 8, 2012, run in VA.

Obama (voiceover): I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message.

[Music] Male Announcer: Reckless...  Amateurish...  That’s what news media and fellow Republicans called Mitt Romney’s gaffe-filled July tour of England, Israel and Poland.

When our U.S. diplomats were attacked in Libya...the New York Times said Romney’s knee-jerk response ‘showed an extraordinary lack of presidential character.’

And even Republican experts said Romney’s remarks were ‘the worst possible reaction to what happened.’

If this is how he handles the world now just think what Mitt Romney might do as president.

Notes: This ad ties in to Romney's foreign policy speech.  From the press release announcing the ad...

While Mitt Romney will use a speech in Virginia on Monday to attempt to articulate his foreign policy agenda (again), Obama for America’s new television ad highlights how his actions have proven that, on every measure, Romney has already failed the commander-in-chief test. His gaffe-filled tour of the United Kingdom, Israel, and Poland earlier this year was called “reckless” and “amateurish” by the news media and by fellow Republicans. When our U.S. diplomats were attacked in Libya, The New York Times said Romney’s knee-jerked response showed an “extraordinary lack of presidential character,” and even Republican foreign policy experts said Romney’s remarks were “the worst possible reaction” to what happened. If this is how he handles the world now, just think of what Romney might do as president.
