BOSTON One of Mitt Romneys top campaign advisers lashed out at President Obamas reelection campaign for what he called ugly distortions and lies that he said were tarring the office of the presidency.
Eric Fehrnstrom seized on a television advertisement released this week by the pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA that suggests Romney is at fault for the death of a woman whose husband lost his job after Bain Capital took over his steel mill.
Briefing reporters at Romney campaign headquarters, Fehrnstrom said that though a super PAC released it, he held the Obama campaign responsible for the ad, which independent fact checkers have called irresponsible and over-the-top.

I hope the Dems are learning how politics is played from Obama's team. Keep at 'em PBO and Harry!!! The more people that pile onto their well-crafted talking points and rebuttals from our side, the better!

Maybe a limbo set-up at the National Press Club?

Probably most think it's some kind of Catholic level of Hell. No offense to Catholic's intended. But it is another limbo reference.
