Pro-Obama 'super PAC' uses '47%' comment to strafe Romney

[cal04]

The leaked videotape of GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney saying that 47% of Americans back President Obama because they are dependent on government aid is proving to be the gift that keeps on giving for the Democrats.

Obama’s reelection campaign has already aired two television commercials featuring Romney’s comments, made at a Florida fundraiser in May.

Now a political action committee of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and the “super PAC” Priorities USA Action have turned the Republican’s words into a new radio ad portraying him as wealthy and indifferent to the concerns of the middle class.

“One hundred fifty million Americans: seniors, veterans, the disabled,” the narrator says. “Romney attacked them when he thought no one else was listening.”
