The first time ever I saw your salvo... the Mitt Romney campaign releases a video that kicks off its coordinated effort to put Barack Obama on the defense over "political payoffs."
In a clever tie-in with its overall message on the Obama economy, the Romney campaign claims that, despite the anemic recovery, there's a thriving private economy going on between Obama and political donors.
"Right now there are 23 million Americans struggling for work," the video claims, "America needs help.
So who is President Obama helping?
His friends."
