Let's face it: This spot became 100 percent inevitable the moment Cory Booker opened his mouth on Meet the Press, but its still nice to see the alacrity and skill with which Team Romney executed. Behold, the official 'Democrats dissent from Obama's stupid anti-Bain demagoguery' campaign ad:
David Axelrod has slapped back at Booker, who hastily cut a hostage video-style (partial) retraction of his MTP remarks, but the damage has been done. Every time The One comes after Romney on Bain, Republicans can cite three significant Obama supporters who have explicitly condemned his line of attack. Bain itself has entered the fray, as well, pointing out that their track record is very strong indeed:
Bain shoots back: "During Bain Capital’s ownership, revenues grew in 80 percent of the more than 350 companies in which we have invested.”
So they're batting .800, in baseball parlance. Can't have that now, can we? And in case you were wondering, yes, the Romney campaign is also fundraising off of this kerfuffle.
UPDATE - ABC News says the Obama camp is in "full damage control mode" over its Bain attacks:
The Obama campaign is in full damage-control mode one day after Newark Mayor Cory Booker publicly derided Democrats’ assault on presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney over his record at Bain Capital. Chief Obama strategist David Axelrod today publicly rebuked Booker, a popular and high-profile surrogate for the campaign, saying he was “just wrong.”
If I were a dishonest liberal, I might loudly ask if a white man calling a black official "just wrong" is some sort of "racist dogwhistle."
You could even have Obama talking about jobs being his major priority.
You’re right. Get Romney tied down now when he still needs us.
agree with both of you. I mostly read and don’t post anymore.
LOL. More potty mouth from the gutter. You really are a piece of work. Grow up.
heh...
Sorry if i offended your delicate sensibilities. /sarcasm
I see no reason to say anything other than what Im thinking in EXACTLY the way Im thinking it or would say it in person. Minus the edits to leave at least SOMETHING to the imagination.
Your position is weak and thus your are relegated to lame ass arguments like “potty mouth”.

McLame would never have done an ad like this.
“Our Dear Leader and his team have a real conundrum on their hands; how to rip capitalism yet still get donations from those who have really benefited from it.”
That is easy(its symptomatic of regulatory capture), getting away with it is becoming increasingly difficult now that we know what to look for and point out.
Well, I can't stand to be in a smoke-filled bar for more than a few minutes. But, it's better than nerve gas, which is how I tend to view Willard vs. 0baMao.
But, for some reason, certain self-proclaimed more-conservative-than-thou types around here insist the two are equally toxic. At least, that's how they're talking now.
However, some have suggested those folks are actually planning to vote for Willard and are only threatening him now so he'll be more accountable to conservatives and less apt to govern from the center if he happens to win.
FUBO!!!
So, you’re with us in the ABO camp, too, eh?
I will do all I can to prevent Barack Hussein Obama, an evil, avowed enemy of my beloved country, from having a second term.
Amen, brother!
Yet, so many of our FRiends are all "FUMR!" up in our faces. It's truly sickening. I mean, yeah, the guy is obviously no conservative. But, unless something good happens at the convention, he's the last chance to push back naked MARXISM.

Exactly!
0bama is an avowed enemy of the United States. He hates this country and all it stands for and will continue to do as much damage to her as he can, for as long as he’s allowed.
Ironically, that's just about the only reason I have left to even consider voting for Mitt Romney. If it's true that he likes to fire people, there are a lot of people in government who need that.
I'm still not sure I can vote for Romney, however.
“Our primary here in Calif is June 5th - makes me angry.
Why bother, except for the down-ticket.”

Half of our Knights of Columbus chapter and council in CA will be at the primary, specifically on that date. I won’t go as our chapter elections, throughout the state and I think the nation, falls on the same date.
