Oops? President Barack Obama's re-election campaign washed its hands Wednesday of an independent group's vicious (and misleading) ad effectively blaming Mitt Romney for the death of a laid-off steelworker's wife from cancer. Campaign officials flatly denied any knowledge of the facts in the case—but it turns out the widower told the same story on an Obama campaign conference call in mid-May. (The Obama campaign responded late in the day: See update below).

After we lost our jobs, we found out that we were going to lose our health insurance, and that our pensions hadn't been funded like Bain promised they would be. I was lucky to find another job as a custodian in a local school district. They gave me some health insurance, but I couldn't afford to buy it for my wife. A little while later she was diagnosed with lung cancer. I had to put her in a county hospital because she didn't have health care, and when the cancer took her away, all I got was an enormous bill. That put a lot of stress on me: I thought I'd be paying it off until I died myself. That probably wouldn't have happened if Bain kept its promise and I was allowed to keep our health insurance.
Note how all the events are compressed, much like the editing of Obama's life story in Dreams from my Father, to omit the six years from Soptic's layoff to his wife's cancer diagnosis, her having a job with health insurance for two years, and leaving that job. Soptic didn't do that piece of sleazy word smithing on his own. It had to have been done by an Obama lawyer skilled in creating false narratives by omitting and compressing events and time frames. The similarity of that statement to the one issued by the Obama super pac also show the whole hit was illegally coordinated.
Liars!
The only way progressives (aka Marxist communists) can continue to lie about everything is with the complete corruption of our media.
The media, through their communist filter, are able to affect the minds of those too lazy to verify what they are being told. Unfortunately for those of us who loved our country the way the founders designed it, there are so many lazy people the lies become the truth and we get the filth in our government that the communists want.
I wonder if this Administration can even perceive truth.
The Manchurian and his corrupt admin. got caught in ANOTHER lie. Dear Lord, it’s going to take ages for us to fumigate the WH and environs after these liars leave.
They don’t feel any shame whatsoever and will just move on to the next lie. There should be a thread having us all guess what they will come up with next. My bet, women and contraception.
Satan, the great Liar. Yes I’m calling Obama Satan and the ones with him are demons.

It’s fun to play the Obama lying game. Here’s how you play: take two events that occurred chronologically, but not necessarily close together in time, and imply that the first caused the second.
I’ll go first:
The Yankees signed Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig to their roster but didn’t win a pennant for 11 straight seasons.
(Those seasons were 1965-1975, inclusive.)
Alinski’s rules for radicals. Read it, it is the campaign strategy. A short summary:
Rules for Power Tactics:
1. Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
2. Never go outside the experience of your people.
3. Whenever possible, go outside of the experience of the enemy.
4. Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
5. Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
6. A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
7. A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
8. Keep the pressure on with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.
9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
11. If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside.
12. The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and
I thought coordinating with a Super PAC was illegal.
When lying is all you have, you have to lie about the lies, and then lie some more, especially if the liar is Obama, who is himself a lie.
Meanwhile all this coverage is giving a lot more play of the ad than the buys ever would. Question is if the net result is negative for Romney given the stupidity of the target audience.
Only for Republicans.
Right...and Obamacare will reduce the deficit.
Coordinating with a Super PAC is illegal, and the Obamunists sure as Hell did it here. Soptic’s carefully lawyered remarks on the Obama campaign’s conference call and in the ad are just too similar for it to be any other way.
Why yes, don’t you understand that insurance coverage for contraceptives is far more important than an economy sucking fumes as it continues to slog through depression (the new normal) with millions having lost their life’s savings, their jobs, their careers as they flip burgers?
Maybe if they had decent jobs they could afford to buy their contraceptives...or is that just too harsh?
