CHICAGO (OfficialWire) — President Barack Obama’s campaign is launching its first television advertisement targeting Mitt Romney’s comments about Americans who don’t pay income taxes, arguing the GOP nominee should stop attacking others on taxes and “come clean” on his own.
The ad signaled that Obama will keep making Romney’s personal finances a campaign issue even after the Republican released a second year of information about his taxes. The campaign will start running the ad Monday in Ohio, where Romney will campaign this week.
The 30-second ad opens with a video of Romney at a private fundraiser in May, where he told donors that 47 percent of Americans don’t pay income taxes, believe they are victims, and feel entitled to government assistance.
“My job is not to worry about those people,” Romney says in the video, which was taped without his knowledge.
A narrator in the Obama ad responds, “Isn’t it the president’s job to worry about everyone?”

Just when will Berry start showing us ALL HIS records?? People who live in Whitehouses shouldn’t throw stones. This campain is the beginning or end of America as we know it. Wake up People.
That’s all Barry can do anymore…deflect, deflect, deflect. He certainly can’t run on his own record. “if you can’t make yourself look good, make the ones around you look bad…at any cost…even if you have to make up lies. Romney has released his tax records. He has offered to open ANY of his records. He never paid millions to have his HS or college records sealed like Obama did. It does concern me greatly why Romney refuses to open his can of whoop-a$$ on Obama, and attack Obama where he’s most vulnerable and sensative. It’s too close to D-day to appear squeamish or weak-handed. Hit Obama on his misuse of executive orders, his flagrant disregard of Congress’s constitutional authority, his refusal to realease ALL of his background records (no forgeries please), his cozying up top the Muslim Brotherhood, his disrespect (in actions, not words) for our honored military and veterans, his blatant hatred for all things Christian and Jewish, his misguided and failed domestic energy policies, his administration’s economic disaster (ie: unsustainable welfare rolls; massive, underreported unemployment; anti-business attitude; healthcare mandates & the biggest tax increase in US history/ Obamacare; his continuous attacks on our Constitutional rights, ie right to bear arms, freedom of speech, etc.) There is so much ammo for Romney to use, but he just sits there doing nothing. Is he TRYING to throw this election? WAKE UP DAMNIT!
Let’s see, for the past almost 4 years, obama has certainly NOT represented me or at least half or more of the people of this country. Obama has served his OWN agenda. And he is going to listen to us now? I think NOT!
Obama if you want to attack people, and I wont say americans, who dont pay taxes, take a good long look at yourself in the mirror. You dont even have a valid social security number that can be found in the system, so I doubt you have EVER paid taxes. Why would you? You cant prove you are an american, or who your Real parents are or if you have EVER lived in the united states, prior to your college days. Until you can prove you have paid taxes, dont worry about whether anyone else has paid them!!
