[OBAMA CAMPAIGN BUSTED]

Obama campaign no stranger to steelworker in disputed ad

The former Kansas City steelworker featured in a scathing ad tying his wife's death to Mitt Romney has appeared in Obama campaign videos before -- despite claims by a top Obama adviser Wednesday that he doesn't know "the specifics of this man's case" amid revelations that the ad is inaccurate and misleading.

The Romney campaign and other fact-checkers have pushed back hard on the ad, released Tuesday by pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA. The ad, featuring former GST Steel worker Joe Soptic, suggests Romney was in some way responsible for the death of Soptic's wife because his plant was shuttered after a takeover by Romney's firm and others -- and because his wife died of cancer after he lost his health insurance.

However, the ad hides details about the timeline of those events. Soptic's wife died five years after GST filed for bankruptcy. His wife reportedly had her own health insurance after Soptic left GST. And Romney had long since left Bain Capital at the time of her death.

Further, the Obama campaign certainly is familiar with the story of Soptic, despite claims by top campaign aides that they're not as they tried to make the case Wednesday that the super PAC ad had nothing to do with the campaign's work.

Soptic appeared in a pair of Obama campaign videos in May which hammered Romney over his former company Bain Capital's role before GST filed for bankruptcy.

"They made as much money off it as they could, and they closed it down," Soptic said in that video, wearing what appears to be the same shirt he wore in the most recent ad. "It was like watching an old friend bleed to death."

This week, Soptic reemerged in the Priorities USA ad telling how his wife got sick, and later died of cancer, after he was let go at GST steel.

Asked about the spot, Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs stressed that the super PAC is not connected to the campaign.

"This is an ad by an entity that's not controlled by campaign. I certainly don't know the specifics of this man's case," he said on MSNBC.

Under questioning, he said again: "I don't know the specifics of this person's case."

Romney spokesman Ryan Williams attacked the honesty of the ad in a written statement Tuesday.

"President Obama's allies continue to use discredited and dishonest attacks in a contemptible effort to conceal the administration's deplorable economic record. After 42 months of unemployment above 8 percent, it is clear that the president and his campaign do not have a rationale for reelection," he said.

Before the GST Steel closure, Romney left Bain in 1999 to work on the 2002 Winter Olympics in Utah. There have been ongoing disputes about his involvement with Bain during that period, since he was still listed as CEO in financial documents, but the campaign has maintained he effectively left the company in 1999.

Further, Soptic's wife died in 2006, according to a Kansas City Star article from the time. This would have been several years after the plant closed down, several years after Romney left Bain and as Romney was finishing his term as Massachusetts governor.

Yeah, Obama has secrets he doesn't want us to know. I hope Donald Trump can bring those to light. I had no idea we have so many people in this country that have on rose-colored glasses. Some of them don't even know who the President is! Can you believe that? Of course, those people probably don't care as long as they get their little gov. checks in the mail.....and don't have to work even tho' they are capable. That is what burns me!

OBAMA CAMPAIGN ADMITS LAWSUIT TARGETS OHIO MILITARY VOTERS TO EQUALIZE VOTE
Senior Obama Campaign official David Axelrod, admitted Sunday, August 5th on Fox News that Ohio military voters who are allowed early voting was indeed the target of the lawsuit filed against the state of Ohio. He incorrectly claimed that military early voting was an exception, which must be corrected, so that all Ohio voters can have the right to vote early
As Ohio Democrats and the Obama campaign were targeting the military overseas voters and lambasting the Ohio state legislature and the Secretary of State for engaging in alleged discriminatory practices, they conveniently avoided mentioning that federal law protects early voting rights of overseas soldiers.
The Obama lawsuit’s claim for relief states that as a matter of fact, Ohio voters are similarly situated as military overseas voters, in their inability to vote early. The lawsuit states:“Whether caused by legislative error or partisan motivation, the result of this legislative process is arbitrary and inequitable treatment of similarly situated Ohio voters with respect to in-person early voting,”
What is clear is that the intention of the lawsuit is to convey a sense of voter rights imbalance where none exists both legally or factually. The Obama lawsuit claims that the action by the state of Ohio was,‘arbitrary’ and unconstitutional to allow three extra days of in-person early voting to military voters and their families who are overseas.
Yet, the 1986 and amended 2010 Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voti... allows this preferential treatment as a matter of fact and of law.

The Pinocchio Test


Romney’s statement suggests that the president is undermining the voting rights of Ohio service members. But the lawsuit in question would not change the deadline one way or another for military voters. It simply requests an order for the state to extend its civilian deadline.

The lawsuit doesn’t describe the military privilege as unconstitutional or arbitrary, which is what Romney and Biber suggested. Instead it uses that argument against the separate deadline for civilian voters, in what the Obama campaigns appears to believe is an attempt to supress African-American turnout.

Overall, the facts show obvious contradictions to the statements from Romney and Biber, no matter how carefully they were worded. The Romney campaign earns three Pinocchios.

Well that wonderful organization known as the U.N. has made yet another brilliant move that reminds us all why we should take them seriously and continue to fund them with millions of taxpayer money....

First it was Iran on the "Commission on the Status of Women Rights" (Because I ran has such a great history of treating women right)

Next came North Korea being put on The Conference on (nuclear) Disarmament. Not just on it, but they were made the chairperson.

Now today, are you ready for this??? They put a Sudanese warlord Omar Al-Bashir, who is accused of genocide, on the United Nations Human Rights Council.

He would privatize Social Security
Supports Personhood Act
Said President Obama is a complete menace to our society

That is the most awesome ad I have seen so far. Why? It's a Claire McCaskill ad that tells us all the reasons why we SHOULD VOTE FOR Todd Akin.

I about lmao when she said "he is a crusader against big government" as if that is supposed to make him evil. Is she that out of touch that she doesn't realize people are sick and tired of our big, and constantly expanding, government?

You mean the same Washington Post that gave the Harry Reid/Romney Taxes claim 4 Pinnochios? But I bet you still believe Harry don't you? Of course you do. You are a Liberal and you pick and chose what you believe. If you agree with it, or like it, you believe it. If you disagree, or don't like it, you don't believe it.

You're nothing but a typical left wing brain dead zombie.

Why would the Obama admin wait until now to sue Ohio over this law? If you don't see the truth that is right in front of your eyes then you are a complete moron.

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh called the comment "a potential gold mine for Obama supporters," according to Talking Points Memo.

First time I saw it I was eating lunch at 54th St Bar % Grill with a couple of friends. I made the comment "Hey Claire, thanks for telling me why I should vote for him". Someone a couple of tables over heard me and said "I thought the same thing". It's almost hysterical she doesn't see how stupid of an ad for her it really is.

Judging by the primary turnout last night, Claires days in office are dwindling down. Of course we have to take into consideration, as pointed out by our resident LADYBOY retard, that Democrats didn't go vote yesterday because they all have jobs and were all working. LMAO!!!

I don't have the heart to tell her, that despite the name, giving head behind a dumpster doesn't count as a "job", even though she puts some work into it.
