of taking something out of context, both sides do this so look for Dem comments to be taken out of context. I bet most of here have "fired" some business, maybe a restaurant, phone Co. a store.

Its just a bunch of people saying you're fired!

If you want to see how to take someone out of context, why not go back and look at Mitt Romneys lying ad about Obama.

No wrap-up thought at the end -- what's the point being made here? And non-Romney clips fun to watch and get in the way of the message.

making light of the whole "firing" thing. Like it's all one big joke.

Put this one on the shelf and make another. Paint Romney as evil, not just a goof.

while overlaying those images with job loss, foreclosure and suicide statistics accompanied by Mitt's voice repeating that statement over and over.

Mitt is the perfect candidate to use the GOP's record of economic failure against. The callous disregard he has/had for not only the poor and middle class but for the overall welfare, safety and security of the country as a whole, truly represents the values of the "no class warfare" crowd.
