Better to let your opposition write their own ads.

Mitt Romney, advertising manager for the Democratic National Committee.

Mitt Romney, advertising manager for Barack Obama's campaign.

 As for the latter, Jonathan Chait says this in The Poetic Justice of Romney’s Self-Immolation:
What's devastating about the ad, aside from the juxtaposition of Romney's words against photos of regular Americans, is something I only noticed the second time I watched it. It's the sound of silverware clinking on china in the background as Romney speaks. That detail contrasts the atmosphere Romney inhabits with the one in which most Americans live. You can tell, even though you're not seeing this, that the remarks are being made to people enjoying a formal dinner.
