"Governor, do what I did, and what your father did. Release your tax filings for this century. Don't demand that the voters trust you, show them whether they can trust you.
"Dear fellow Americans. If you want a man who had one of the worst job-creation records as governor, vote for Romney. If you want a president who showed tremendous skill at making enormous profits for his clients on the backs of the workers whose jobs he eliminated or sent overseas, vote for Romney. If you want a president who will continue the Republican libertarian scheme of using the government to benefit the rich at the expense of the middle class, vote for Romney. If you want a president who will continue the Republican way of deregulating the financial industry to the degree that the rich rig the system for their benefit while making it so unstable that it will again crash, vote for Romney. If you want a president who will work to make women who have an abortion a criminal, vote from my challenger. If you want a president who is relying upon many of the same Bush advisers who got us into questionable wars, vote for Romney.
"With me, you know what you get. So if you want a president that when he came into office stopped the nation from plunging into outright depression, and has since overseen the steady creation of millions of jobs, then vote for me. If you think the financial industry should be kept from again spinning out of control, give me four more years. If you want a president who will work for the bedrock of our nation and economy, the middle class, then give me four more years. If you want a president who will keep our nation strong, and will pursue a prudent foreign policy, then give me four more years. If you want to ensure that abortion remains safe and legal, vote for me. Are you opposed to the Supreme Court being packed with conservatives? I will see to it that it is not. If you want a president who will not do what Romney wants, to convert Medicare to vouchers that benefit the insurance industry while ripping off the elderly, vote for me. If you want a president who will not allow the Republicans to do what they have always dreamed of, convert Social Security to investment schemes that will fill the overseas bank accounts of the financiers while leaving seniors holding the bag, then give me four more years.
"Candidate Romney is not part of the solution. He is part of the problem. He is part and parcel of the very financial system that has been hurting the middle class for decades, and got us into this mess in the first place--A mess I have been cleaning up for the last three and a half years. It is hard to believe that a national party nominated a person who is part of the problem and then wants us to actually believe he has any idea of what the solution is. What are they thinking? The Republicans never seem to learn, they keep going back to the same right-wing ideology of the government giving the gifts to the top percent and hoping the middle class gets some of it, a fantasy that has never worked. Let's finally put a stop to the Republican incompetence. They are stuck in the 1920s, they have no idea how to run a modern government. Reelect the sensible, middle-of-the-road Democrat. Give me four more years."
(A final comment. Obama needs to stop saying "ummm" and "uh" so much. Seriously. It is a bad verbal tick no one seems to have gotten him to knock off. Makes him sound indecisive.)
