Obama campaign’s devastating, simple strategy to attack Romney: ‘Corporate criminal’

Cenk talks to BuzzFeed correspondent Michael Hastings about the growing attacks on Mitt Romney’s business record — and Romney’s scramble to change the messaging. Hastings says the Obama campaign has been laying the groundwork for Romney’s contradictory statements about his work with Bain for months. “They finally hit on the narrative they want to paint Romney with,” Hastings says. “The narrative [from the campaign] is, Romney is sort of a corporate criminal. I mean, they called him a felon. That resonates with the financial crisis. … That’s a very simple explanation for what are often very complex financial stories that no one cares about. You say the guy is a felon and liar — that’s pretty simple.”
