Go get him, Obama!

(369 posts)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." 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.

(27,461 posts)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.
I think it hits hard.
