Pop-Up Politics: Mitt Romney's Iowa Stump Speech

Watch Mitt Romney give a stump speech with a little more context. As VH1 did with music videos, we added pop-up bubbles and animation to excerpted segments of standard Iowa speeches from top GOP candidates — embellishments that we hope will give you a better sense of the candidates and how they're selling themselves to voters. Part of an ongoing series. See more on NPR.org: http://n.pr/tzn3SX

Agh! He indulges in lowfat chocolate milk? Romney! I am disappoint!

[mobility987]

china holds 8 % of US's fed debt? I admit I haven't checked for around a year, but im pretty sure it was around 22 % (I don't think the chinese sold that much off did they?)

[mobility987]

interesting vid, i dont live in USA but am definitely interested to see what is going on... i do find the little pop-up's to be cons, some have spelling errors, and seem to prime the audience against this candidate

Romney says DOD well run, then contradicts himself with Navy example? Huh?

I've heard a great deal about how Romney doesn't seem to connect to the lower classes, and he's probably not going to get my vote, but I wanted to point out that here he shows that he does have an understanding of the way things really work when he mentions that being poor in one state is essentially different than being poor in another. The seriously impoverished have to face their environments in ways most can't imagine, and every environment presents its own challenge. Good job Mitt

@walrus12831 what did NPR say exactly that was bias?

- Half of those are medicaid are children.

- Cutting federal employment by 10% means 280,000 jobs lost.

- The U.S. only owes 8% of its debt to China.

- and so on...

Hate to break it to you buddy, but those are FACTS! NPR just made it easy to see the bullshit.

[walrus12831]

wow biased much? fuck you npr.

Dear NPR: I love you but the pop-up sounds accompanying this video make watching it intolerable! If I'm already watching the screen, then I don't need secondary auditory reinforcement to pay attention. Otherwise, interesting info!
