The conference call with Obama of America apparently hosted by Stephenie Cutter, Obama 2012 deputy campaign manager May 14, 2012.

 

 

Off the cuff personal story? Or read from a prepared script? Listen to the actual call to decide.

 

Background on Ms. Cutter:

The buffoon, Bill Burton isn't backing off. This is from an interview with Anderson Cooper Wednesday.

 

 

COOPER: You claim — you really claim — you really want people to believe you’re not trying to link in any way even just subtly or not subtly that there’s some linkage between Mitt Romney, Bain campaign, business decisions he made and her death.

 

BURTON: It would defy logic to do so. Today that community is completely worn down. The whole area, the factory is abandoned. people still don’t have jobs in some cases. many folks still don’t have health insurance. people who do have jobs are being paid much less. And the point is that Mitt Romney’s business experience had a profound effect on the lives of thousands of people. That effect is still being felt, and that’s what this ad tells the story of. That’s what all our ads tell the story of.

 

COOPER: I don’t want to go back and forth on this, but this ad tells a specific story. More than half the ad is him talking very detailed about his wife.

 

BURTON: It’s a sad story.

 

COOPER: It is a sad story. but it truncates time in a way that makes it seem like he got fired, she didn’t have health insurance, which she did from her other job, her primary insurance, in fact –

 

BURTON: Not at the time when she died, though. She had health insurance for a short time.

 

COOPER: Because she lost her other job.

 

BURTON: But ultimately when Joe Soptic needed health insurance for his family, health insurance that had been promised to him by a contract that Mitt Romney helped to negotiate, he didn’t have that health insurance.

 

COOPER: Right. Because under bankruptcy protection, they were able to do away with the prom—

 

BURTON: Contract they made with workers. but they made plenty of money. All those workers got screwed.

 

COOPER: You can make an ad all about that. You’re implying — I think any rational or certainly nonpartisan soeb observer looks at this and says you are linking this. otherwise we would not put this in an ad.

 

BURTON: I think just the opposite. I think the rational thing to take away here is that — how on earth could you possibly imply that? What we’re saying that at a moment of true anxiety.

 

COOPER: How can you say how can you imply that? It’s totally disingenuous, Bill.

 

BURTON: I don’t think that’s true. I think that Mitt Romney had an effect on these people’s lives. And to talk about it is an important part of the story. Because he wants the American people to make a decision on whether or not he should be president based on his business experience. When people take a look at it and hear the stories of these folks they say I don’t want that guy to be president of the United States.

Based on polls what I believe is coming to fruition. The average Obama supporter (maybe those that post here are above average) isn't smart enough to realize that their man is doing everything he can to muddy the waters because he can't run on his abysmal record.

He's trying to clean up the abysmal mess ole George W and Dick Cheney created for 8 years. We are still waiting for the Reaganomics to trickle down to the average American :ohbrother:

That lame, overplayed excuse is beyond tiresome. He's created a much bigger mess where the economy is concerned. So, if he wins, like the picture I've seen on FB, he'll be inheriting one heck of a mess...one that he made.

So the Romney campaign decided that their first ad stating incorrectly that the President dropped work requirements for welfare recipients was not enough so they've doubled down on it and brought out a new ad stating the same.

 

Even Newt says it's incorrect.

 

 

It's going to be a long few months.

^ And the Obama administration won't denounce the "Romney's responsible for a woman’s tragic death" ad plus we have an ad accusing Paul Ryan of throwing grandma off a cliff, Romney's been accused of being a felon and now we have the Vice President saying Romney and Ryan want to put people in chains. Interesting wording on that last one....

 

Yep, it's going to be a long few months.

What is the "interesting wording" you mention?

 

I've said it 1,000 times on here. It's sad we have to go to other sources to see if an ad is remotely true.

Poor Mr. Biden was not even sure where he was today....

 

"With you we can win North Carolina again!"

 

Notice the city state in the video....

 

 

Saw some tweets about this. Sometimes off the cuff isn't best even though it's innocent.
