And it is HAMMER TIME folks. This ad just got posted up to the OFA YouTube channel and is tagged as a spot for TV. It's been 6 days since Mitt unleashed Ryan on an unsuspecting America and people have been asking (in many diaries here as well as on blogs, etc) where the Medicare ad from OFA was.
Well, the answer to that is no longer blowing in the wind. It is right here below the orange boxing gloves of doom:
Voiceover:
"Now Mitt Romney is attacking the President on Medicare?"
"The non-partisan AARP says Obamacare 'cracks down on Medicare fraud, waste, and abuse' and 'strengthens guaranteed benefits'."
"And the Ryan plan?"
"AARP says it would undermine ... Medicare and could lead to higher costs for seniors...."
"And experts say Ryan's voucher plan could raise future retirees' costs more than six thousand dollars."
"Get the facts."
So, lets's take a quick look at this ad. We open with a "you gotta be shitting me, right?" type question and immediate start countering with solid body blows (quotes from AARP) and then followup with a solid left hook attacking the expected increase in retiree's costs that would result from the Romney/Ryan plan.
I look forward to seeing the fact checking on this ad, OFA doesn't leave an edge you could slip even the thinnest blade into.
Good work guys. Everybody, share this video out on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
