Obama camp denies knowledge of cancer tale it told in May

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).

(Joe politicizing wife's death)./....wonder how much he was paid.........

Any news on the American soldier who was kidnapped by the Talibal, how about the facts over fast and furious, nah the media will make this go away, talk about the boy scouts and those who engage in fecal matter sex and talk about useless crap but they never will report the facts.

[manc]

WOW JUST WOW, THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY TO MAKE.

You ain't seen nothin' yet.

I’ll play.

The Yankees won last night, after a scare. (Went to walk the dog, it was 7-1, got back, it was 8-7, but they pulled it out.)

They won last night due to they used to have Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, right?

Actually, for some odd reason, the media IS calling out the Obama people on this and the Bain & tax/felon attacks. Of course, to be “fair,” they then sy that Romney is doing it too with regard to the welfare ad (which is a lie).

[Starstruck]

Obama got elected and 300 Mexicans, a border agent and an ICE employee were killed. Oh crap! This game is harder than I thought.

No doubt the guy is getting a good fisking...

I can’t believe how anti-bammy the comments are at yahoo on this article.

Barely a single Obamanite that I can find defending him! Perhaps the Hopeychange balloon has a big leak?

[JayAr36]

Liars all.

There is a severe case of Allergies going on in the White House and some Senate/House Offices.

Whenever a lie detecter machine comes near people in these places, they have severe and immediate reactions.

I imagine the DNC has banned such equipment from their headquarters as a health risk...

[musicman]

I agree!!

(Well...one can always "Hope"...)

In my experience, the comments in every Yahoo news story I’ve ever read are OVERWHELMINGLY anti-Obama. No idea why - Yahoo news clearly leans left - but 95% of the commenters would fit right in here at FR.

LMAO!

[Borax Queen]

Same here. Then Yahoo started using Facebook for most of the stories about Dear Leader, to restrict bad comments, I guess... Now it seems like they’re allowing regular Yahoo commentators again.
