President Obama’s reelection campaign launced an attack on Mitt Romney’s record as a job creator yesterday, comparing Romney’s role at Bain Capital to an undead monster. “It was like a vampire. They came in and sucked the life out of us,” union steelworker Jack Cobb tells the camera.

The two-minute ad (airing in Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Virginia) blames Romney for the 2001 closing of GST Steel in Kansas City, Missouri. More than 750 workers lost their job after Bain tried to turn the company around.
