Obama goes the whole nine yards on "47%" in new ad

Via Molly Ball, here's Barack Obama's new spot, running in Iowa, Florida, New Hampshire, Virginia, Ohio, Colorado, and Nevada.

It uses a 30 second clip of Mitt Romney's "47%" comments, juxtapositioned with pics of veterans and working class Americans. What's so tough about it? There's no narration; just Romney's words. In essence, it's the Obama camp saying "Don't listen to us; listen to him", which makes it a much more effective attack.

This is the second, new spot of the day by Obama or an ally using the comments against Romney.
