Hurricane Sandy: Romney's Worst Nightmare?
This video was released on October 31st, shortly after the worst of Hurricane Sandy took place. The video shows a clip of Romney mocking Obama's promises to "slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet," which conjures laughs from the crowd that he is speaking to. While the crowd is laughing, the ad shows images and video of the Hurricane destroying New Jersey and New York.
According to this article, the ad was not created to encourage people to vote for Obama, but it is meant to wake up the people who have been ignoring climate change.
"We've always found the attitude that Mitt Romney had about climate change to be morally offensive because of the catastrophic risks associated with it. Unfortunately, those risks were realized with Sandy." says Brad Johnson, campaign manager for the group, which was started to put pressure on meteorologists who deny climate change and has since moved on to politicians and other leaders. .
"We're not saying [Obama is better]," he adds. "Just because we're calling out the outrageousness of Mitt Romney's deliberate cruelty doesn't mean we find Obama's silence to be anything other than a dereliction of duty."
It appears that Hurricane Sandy has potential to make or break the Presidential candidates election turnout. Do you think Hurricane Sandy will waver Romney fans and/or undecided voters opinions about him?
