Paul Waldman has done a lot of academic research on political ads. In fact, he says, he has personally watched "every single presidential general election campaign ad ever aired since the first ones in 1952." So what does he think of Mitt Romney's new ad that claims President Obama has a plan for "dropping work requirements" for welfare? "Under Obama's plan," says the narrator, "you wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train for a job. They just send you your welfare check."
I've seen ads that were more inflammatory than this one, and ads that were in various ways more reprehensible than this one (not many, but some). But I cannot recall a single presidential campaign ad in the history of American politics that lied more blatantly than this one.
This is what's so striking about Romney's campaign. As Paul says, it's common to twist and distort and cherry pick. But Romney has flatly claimed that Obama said something that, in fact, a John McCain aide said. He's snipped out sentences from an Obama speech and spliced the two halves back together so nobody could tell what he did. Then he did it again to another Obama speech. And he unequivocally said that Obama plans to drop work requirements for welfare even though he's done nothing of the sort.
This is a presidential candidate just baldly making stuff up on the assumption that nobody will ever know.

Says Barack Obama said, "If we keep talking about the economy, were going to lose."
This is one of my favorite Romney lies - because he actually had to "edit" tapes to make the ad. Romney approved this ad:

8.3% stated unemployment with real unemployment at 11% if you count those that have run out of unemployment benefits. 1 in 5 families now living below poverty level and 46 million Americans receiving food stamps. A community organizer President who in 3-1/2 years has outspent any other 2-term President in U.S. history--adding an additional 5 trillion in red ink to the Federal Budget.
