You know why Obama's ad featuring Mitt singing "America the Beautiful" is so brilliant? [View all]

Obama is a master of something I admire greatly - the ability to make somebody look completely stupid in a very subtle way. He doesn't get all worked up about Mitt and his Bain activities, he just has Mitt doing what Mitt did, singing in a slightly off-key way and pandering to his base. With subtle typed text. The same goes for that "No Apologies" picture when Obama is smiling his 100 watt smile, you know, the one that always makes me smile when I see it.
