Was Romney’s Greed The Cause Of Someone’s Death

It’s a little ad made by Priorities USA – the SuperPAC supporting President Obama. The ad featured Joe Soptic, a steelworker who lost his job when Romney’s Bain Capital bought the company. Following Bain’s proven method for making a profit, Joe lost his job and his family’s health insurance coverage. Shortly after, his wife was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

She died 22 days later.

“I don’t think Mitt Romney understands what he’s done to people’s lives by closing the plant,” Joe says. “I don’t think he realizes that people’s lives completely changed.”

Romney’s Bain however, made a huge profit.

Clueless Bachmann Wishes Presley A Happy Birthday

Seems like a commendable thing to do, right? Wrong!

 “We played you a little bit of ‘Promised Land’ when we pulled up. You can’t do better than Elvis Presley, and we thought we would celebrate his birthday as we get started celebrating taking our country back to work!”

That was Bachmann’s opening statement in Spartanburg, S.C yesterday, as she addressed the crowd gathered at one of her presidential campaign events. The problem with her celebrating Presley’s birthday yesterday was a little fact that happened to be that August 16th  was the day Presley died. Elvis Presley was actually born on January 8th.

But have no fear, this is Michele Bachmann after all. What would really be surprising would be if she even knew what day of the week it was!

Carry on Michele, do you!
