That ad is the most pathetic stretch I've seen yet. Obviously intended for the lie seeking base, or otherwise ignorant voters who don't know:

What's worse ?

The kind of politicians that gets you into an economic crisis and the worst economic state we've seen in 70 years, and then obstructs some of the solutions to the crisis because that might make an opposing politician successful ?

or

THe type of politician who doesn't get us out (fast enough) of a financial crisis caused by a deflating secular credit and real estate bubble, and who has no cooperation and only obstruction from the most far right and crazy right wing congress we've ever seen.

Yes, yes, I know. There were several weeks back in '09 when Obama actually had control of the house and senate.

By the way....on the thread topic, a snapshot of what the money thinks of Romney's chances. See the red graph.

The winners price will be 100.

It seems as though every Republican who runs for office has the same mantra: If you elect Republicans, they will cut government spending and increase private sector jobs. The problem is that it just isn’t true. A few days ago, I provided the evidence which proves that Republicans are much bigger government spenders than Democrats. (see: http://www.politicalmontana.com/?p=309 ).

The same is true for private sector jobs. Many more private sector jobs are created when Democrats are in power. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-data-show-democrats-are-better-at-creating-private-sector-jobs-2012-8. This article explains that the Bureau of Labor Statistics compiles these historical numbers and the data clearly shows Democrats are better for private job creation. An illustrative graph is below:

Private-sector jobs grew far more under Democratic than Republican presidents, 1961-2012

The presidents who averaged the most jobs created per month were Bill Clinton, at 217,000; Jimmy Carter, at 188,000; and Ronald Reagan, at 153,000. That's right. Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan. The only president to preside over a cumulative loss of private-sector jobs was, of course, George W. Bush.
