James Kvaal, Policy Director for Obama for America, breaks down Mitt Romney's misleading claims on the national debt and how President Obama took action to stop this economic free fall inherited from the previous administration.

Voiceover:  "Seen the coal miners in these ads? Turns out they were told that attendance at Mitt Romney's rally was 'mandatory'.

Voiceover: "These appliances could have been made here in America. But a company called Global Tech maximized profits by paying its workers next to nothing under sweatshop conditions in China. When Mitt Romney led Bain, they saw Global Tech as a good investment even knowing that the firm promoted its practice of exploiting low-wage labor to its investors. Mitt Romney, tough on China?

Independent analysts and Mitt Romney's own supporters agree on two things:

1. Romney's an accomplished debater who excelled at debates in the GOP primary.
2. This week's debate is a make or break moment for Governor Romney.

Either way, Romney is facing great expectations.

"Mitt Romney: Great Expectations"

Voiceover: "He says..."

Mitt Romney: "President Obama and I both care about poor and middle-class families."

Voiceover: "But this is what the budget plan Mitt Romney supports actually does. More huge tax breaks skewed to the wealthy. While cutting nearly eight hundred billion from Medicaid even though middle-class families rely on Medicaid to help loved ones cover nursing-home care. And it helps parents support children with disabilities. If Mitt Romney really 'cares' wouldn't we see it in his priorities?"

Before the first debate on October 3rd, get the facts about Romney's business record. When Romney mentions his private-sector experience remember: it wasn't about creating jobs.

Dear Mitt Romney, While you're here in Colorado, I hope you'll answer a few questions. When you said "Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that," do you know how important Planned Parenthood is to millions of women? And when you said, "Do I believe the Supreme Court should overturn Roe v. Wade? Yes." Why do you want to put an end to safe, legal abortion?

Mitt Romney says he expects President Obama to "say a lot of things that aren't accurate" at the upcoming debates. Sounds terrible! What's he talking about?

Mitt Romney: "There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what ..."

"... who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it ..."

"... And they will vote for this president no matter what ..."

"... And so my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
