The latest Obama attack ad has gotten some extra life because it's kind of funny. Mitt Romney is signing a horrific rendition of "God Bless America" while claims of his "outsourcing" and "off-shoring" flash on the screen.

Attack ads have become an election staple and an American pastime during presidential election season. Both candidates always spend huge sums of money on attack ads, then they get quoted saying they want to talk about substantive issues. Well the truth is the ads work, which is the reason both candidates will continue to use them. Put down your partisan politics for a second and tell me, what do you think of this one: Is it funny or foul?

    We don't have a comedy contest here... the future of America and the world hangs in the balance. Socialism vs capitalism.

    I don't see how showing a man singing a patriotic song makes people laugh. Obama and Big Government policies forced private companies offshore to make profits. We need to return business here by removing the regulations that pushed companies away from the best country in the world.

    Socialism -- Obama's background, goals, policies -- have failed everywhere, every time.

    Capitalism made America great.

    I don't want to fundamentally transform America into a failed European state.

    Funny and tragic at the same time. But this is the Romney hypocrisy, singing God bless America when he himself is cursing America with his own actions. . . avoiding taxes and shipping jobs off shore. It's just the plain truth.

    Both sides are going to be releasing nastier and nastier ads. It is unfortunately the nature of things these days. Both sides will lie and bend the truth and the one with the most money to do this will likely prevail, thanks to Citizens United. However, my own personal opinion of this ad is that it is true and that I think Romney has his own interests and the interests of his rich buddies in mind and not what is best for this country. This man will say absolutely anything to get elected. And I know that all politicians do this to some extent, but he seems to have taken it to a new level. He has reversed himself on so many issues to appease his base that I don't know if he knows himself what he really thinks. He seems like an empty vessel to me. Just waiting for his marching orders from the right.

    The ad is telling the truth. Therefore, there's nothing foul about it. If Mitt don't like it, he never should've parked his millions in Switzerland, the Bahamas & the Cayman Islands.

    Nothing funny at all about the add, it's a very real and scary truth about the economic boogy man that could lead this country. Romney gives me the impression of what an abusive father might be like, whipping and beating his child at the same time professing his love.

    It is ridiculous! When Barrack Obama has taken government contracts and awarded them to foreign companies, he is nobody to talk! Ask the employees of Hawker Beechcraft what they think of Obama outsoucing the new fighter tariner to Embraer instead of them and constantly changing the requirement to make it impossible for Hawker to enter a valid bid! That is just one of the contracts and from what I hear, there is $29 billion in jobs shipped overseas by this president!

    Clean your own backyard, Mr. President!!

    If I had Romneys money, I'd hide it from Obama-nation too. While Obama is trampling Romney for sending jobs off-shore; he should be honest and tell America how many "TA"" bills he and Clinton signed into law to allow American companies to do just that. "OUR" government is telling American companies they will lose government contracts if they DON"T build companies in Mexico and India.

    Yes, Clinton started the ball rolling but Obama has signed every one that has come accross his desk since. The most recent was with Columbia and Brazil. (If I'm up to date.)But the news doesn't tell Americans the full truth, so Americans need to do the work and research his signed bills...Can America withstand another four years?

    Romney didn't use U.S. taxpayer dollars to ship jobs overseas. But Barack Obama did! He did it with U.S. taxpayer dollars to build some green-energy car in Finland. I doubt many American jobs were created because of that.

    It is funny that it has been the debtocraps who have over they years raised raised and raised again taxes.. That someone who has earned millions should decide to keep some his wealth over seas where he does not have to pay and pay and pay taxes on the same money .. would be just as stupid as Obama and his ilk..

    As those who have a brain in their head know and understand.. the combined U.S. 39.2 pct rate will be developed world's highest in the world.. This is a straight pass thru tax..

    So just what is a pass thru tax.. the corporations get to collect the tax directly upon the end users.. You remember them?? That would be you.. the person buying or using a product or service.. So it really becomes a direct INCOME tax on you ...

    Then if you happen to have an investment in the country where you are getting interest or dividends from one of those companies you get to once again pay income tax on that money. So you have been taxed twice.

    Now if you happen to put that into some other savings vehicle.. like a Bank savings account or a CD, and you collect interest on that savings. Obama says it is not enough and you get to count that into your INCOME tax.. (this is why Romney has his money over seas where it is sheltered from the averous of the Debtocrap IRS .

    So that a Smart Business guy who saved hundreds of companies and made them grow and put hundreds of thousands of people just like you into jobs.. which then produce more jobs to service the companies saved.. Well hopefully get how this works.

    So I find it funny that MR OSCUMBO the Community agitator who has no roots.. refuses to show where he came from .. or how he paid for his education at the tax payer expense Who has not directly ever made a payroll or understand what it takes to run a business...
    Is Complaining because the Demoncrats pushed thru open boarders on trade. Where businesses were encouraged to set up shop in Mexico and Canada..

    Out sourcing?? HAH ... Oscumbo has outsourced more jobs than the hundreds of thousands that Romney while he was at Bain Capital AN Ivestment company has created..

    Consider the number of jobs created by Oscumbo.. GM.. Billions taken over seas to provide jobs in CHINA its fastest growing division. or the Bail out.. hundreds of BILLIONS in your tax dollars to float banks in Europe.. those are your jobs going .. to Europe

    Or how about Fiskar.. billions in loans to a Irish electric car maker not a job here in the US..

    Or the billions flushed down the toilet.. people loosing their jobs.. in the 36 solar companies that he pushed .. and they too have gone belly up

    And the one that really irks me.. GE in the back pocket Mr JOBS Jeff Immelt who took the entire XRAY division over seas to China. After getting an exclusive to suck all of your electronic medical records.. Wondering how much of that IT work is being done in INDIA

    Muslim terrorists activity being planned in Kenya Obama's Birth Place, should we be suspicious??? Iran is behind the attack on Israel targets over the past weeks, what song will Obama sing to defend his lack of action against iran. I wonder if Obama is in cahoots with the Russians (remember Obama over heard on a mic he thought was turned off, telling the Russian after he Obama is reelected arrogant isn't he) after all he let them move into middle east when Obama pulled the USA out??!! Think of all the innocent life Syria was allowed to destroy, had our troops been in Iraq Russia and Syria would not be killing children and women and fathers. Shame on Obama and Clinton, I'm sure Hillary is being told what to do by Obama's czars Regime and Chicago Land Elites??

    Bank accounts in foreign countries? Its a Global economy, How the hell do you think you conduct Global Business, From your local Bank?

    obomma , nice try to divert the attention from your 3 year disaster of a POTUS , your
    5 TRILLION spending spree , your tax and spend and then tax some more , your illegal allien policy , and obomma thinks this is saturday night live ??

    and you miss the irony of ... this is the POTUS , the country is in a recession, and all obomma is got, his best is to mock a canidate ?? and you think this is hilarious ?

    Haley, the country is in trouble, tax and spend, spend some more, tax some more, go in debt in 3 years 50 % of what we did in 250 years .. and all you and obomma got is some jokes of a canidate ??

    we are either part of the problem or part of the solution ... obomma is part of the problem and it seems you encourage this action / direction... sad, not hilarious , SAD.... imo..
