Romney Ad Hits Obama For Use Of Woman’s Death

Romney Ad Hits Obama For Use Of Woman’s Death

A new ad by the Romney campaign calls into question President Obama’s character after a Democratic ad linked a woman’s death to Romney, and the Obama campaign subsequently reversed itself about being aware of the star of the ad and the woman’s husband, Joe Soptic.

“What does it say about a president’s character when his campaign tries to use the tragedy of a woman’s death for poliitcal gain,” a narrator asks.

The Obama campaign didn't release that ad. It was from a Super PAC. It is illegal for the campaign to coordinate with a Super PAC.

They must really think people are stupid to believe this crap and all of the other blatantly lying ads that came DIRECTLY from the Romney campaign. I hope they're wrong.

They either want to lose, or they're being hit from so many angles they don't have time to do better.
