Watch: Obama Campaign New Ad Asks Voters To React To Romney 47% Comments
The Obama campaign has released a new web-based ad asking voters to react to Mitt Romney‘s “47%” comments. Handing an iPad to passers-by in Millenium Park in Chicago, (“literally across the street from Obama’s national headquarters,” as Mother Jones notes,) the video shows voters watching and listening to Romney’s comments, then films them responding:
“I actually felt sick to my stomach.”
“I don’t like it.”
“It shows that he’s out of touch.”
“Victims? I wouldn’t say so.”
“I’m not looking for a hand-out.”
“I think we all want chances and opportunities.”
“If you try to separate by demographics, separate by classes, you’re not really a president.”
“It’s not the person that I would want representing me.”
