This ad is very hard-hitting, as they all should be.

Go get him, Obama!

In creative writing class, they say "Show, don't tell" the reader. I wish the campaign would dispense with the ominous music and the "leading the witness" narrative style and just lay out the facts: SHOW the actual printed words in Romney's NYT op/ed ("If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye.&quot SHOW Romney making the assertions about Jeep. Then SHOW Chrysler's rebuttal. The hearer can't dispute it if you're using the guys' actual words.

Visuals help, but you almost have to think of political commercials as radio ads.

the headline, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" with Mitt's name under it, the NYT logo and the date.

The part you talk about is the part that Mitt directs people to look at because it is less clear how wrong he was.

And it is hardly a "hackneyed formula" to refer to "Romney's lie" and to call him "dishonest", in fact I can't think of a previous presidential ad that used those words.
