Romney Hits O on Jobs With Allentown Web Ad

Republican Mitt Romney is visting the shuttered Allentown Metal Works plant today, which President Obama once touted as a symbol of hope for the $787 billion stimulus.

And, just in time for the in-person hit, the Romney campaign released a web ad for the occasion, seen below.

Democrats say that Romney, former governor of Massachusetts and a business turnaround expert, had a crummy job-growth record in his state during his term.

    Tom, I'm here to save your job! What would the bosses say if all remained as blank as your thought processes?

    Tom, better be careful about using adjectives like "shuttered" in describing Obama's accomplishments. You'll lose you status as a tool for the democrats.

    O? Who the hell is O? You're talking about the president of the United States. What's Romney's job growth strategy? Crickets, crickets. The grumpy grandapa party is getting old.

    Mike, currently, the only "grumpy grandpa" on this block seems to be you. Any dem with any modicum of intelligence knows enough to AVOID the job issue. Need we get into a discussion on this particular failure of the guy presently occupying the W.H.? If you're willing, so am I!

    MikeP, guess you do not read Fitzgerald's blog too often. This guy is anything but what you claim. He's another tool of the democratic party. The reference to O is just Fitzgerald's way of showing his subjection to Obama, (O is a term of endearment).
