Mitt Romney has released his first television ad. It is troubling that in his initial effort out of the box he totally distorts what Barack Obama is saying. The statement “if we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose” is actually Obama during the 2008 campaign quoting John McCain. While Romney is no stranger to distorting facts, I had at least hoped this type of misrepresentation would not begin almost one year from the election.
