Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people.[1]
An example of this behavior might be blaming another (i.e. G.W. Bush) for self failure. The mind may avoid the discomfort of consciously admitting personal faults by keeping those feelings unconscious, and by redirecting libidinal satisfaction by attaching, or "projecting," those same faults onto another person or object.

I think this Obama ad is another example, among many of Obama projecting. Obama is alleging or at least suggesting that Romney has blood on his hands by being responsible for this woman losing her insurance and dying from cancer.
But clearly Obama has the blood of American citizens on his hands. Agent Brian Terry was killed in the botched anti-gunrunning operation Fast and Furious. Obama was aware of this operation and has asserted executive privilege in keeping many of the documents out of public view.
However, I think an even more clear example of this is when Obama ordered the assassination of
American citizen Anwar Al-Awlaki without due process. Granted, not exactly an ideal American citizen but, an American citizen who is supposed to be protected by the US Constitution, not the less.
Which one of these men do you believe actually has the blood of American citizens on their hands?
