Why are the Obama people airing an ad about a lousy provider like Joe Soptic?

It's worse than that. Joe's wife was never on his insurance--she worked and had her own insurance. So, when Joe got laid off, she didn't lose insurance and, in fact, could add Joe to hers so that HE wouldn't be without it. Further, Romney left Bane at least 3 years before it was closed. So Romney had nothing to do with Joe losing his job. His wife didn't die until 2006. Hardly a connection. It's Joe needing someone to blame.

Meanwhile, when Obama bailed out GM, 20,000 salaried retirees, lost their pensions, led by Treasury Department, tax cheat, Geithner.

I think the issue for the Obama camp is that they want to paint Bain Capital as evil incarnate. That way they can link any action Bain takes as a result of a decision by Romney.

In this particular case, it turns out the facts do not even support that tenuous case. It was so bad even CNN had to bash it.

No it was supposed to make have human feelings of sympathy for people suffering under circumstances beyond their control.

You are either a sociopath.... or the extent of your responsibilities have been feeding your hamster.

When you can't run on your record, you get desperate.
