eh…I will be (grudgingly) voting for Pres. Obama to have a second term. But, commercials like this do nothing to convince me that I am making the right choice. The commercial has no value that I am aware of. Instead, it is a cheap attack and play on emotion. Romney’s outsourcing and his personal off shore holdings are not illegal nor are they immoral. They also have no bearing, that I can see, on his ability to lead the country as President. This commercial feels like the opposite of the “change” that so many voters hoped for 4 years ago.
