Obama campaign admits they lied about "Romney Killed My Wife" ad

[Little-Acorn]

Well, the worst-kept secret in the Obama campaign is finally out: Of course they knew the story behind Joe Soptic, the man in the "Romney Killed My Wife" ad, despite their repeated denials they came up with when asked to comment on the ad.

It was hardly a surprise, of course - they had run a campaign ad earlier, featuring Soptic. He was even wearing the same clothes as in the Superpac's anti-Romney ad. And they held a conference call a while ago with Soptic, in which he explained his story in detail, with most of the top campaign staff listening in.

Apparently Obama is exploring which areas he and his campaign can lie and get away with it, and exploiting those areas as fully as possible.

"OK, Republicans, what are you going to do about it?" seems to be the guiding philosophy on whether they can put deliberate falsehoods on national TV.

With several months remaining before the November presidential election, it appears that the Democrats' vile viciousness is only just getting started.

Obama camp acknowledges knowing man's story

Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki acknowledged Thursday that the campaign was no longer pleading ignorance about the story of a man who has appeared in both a super PAC ad and a campaign ad.

"No one is denying he was in one of our campaign ads. He was on a conference call telling his story," Psaki told reporters on Air Force One.

Missouri steelworker Joe Soptic starred in an Obama campaign ad and participated in a conference call with the campaign in May, as POLITICO reported Wednesday. He resurfaced this week in a Priorities USA Action super PAC ad, charging that his wife died of cancer after Mitt Romney's former private equity firm laid him off.

Distancing themselves from the controversial ad, Obama campaign staffers initially denied knowledge of Soptic's story — despite the fact that he was in an Obama campaign ad.

Adviser Robert Gibbs said didn’t know "specifics," while deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said on CNN: “I don’t know the facts about when Mr. Soptic’s wife got sick or the facts about his health insurance."

And yesterday on Air Force One, Psaki said, "we don’t have any knowledge of the story of the family."

And we're learning that Obama lied about Solyndra being unknown to him as well.
The guy is a pathological liar.

He is the Prince of Deception.
Look at his whole persona.
The whole thing is deception.
It is almost Biblical.
Like a close-up look at his scalp, myself...

The guy is a pathological liar.

True. And a paranoid, and a narcissist. Hmm, sounds like symptoms of a personality disorder to me.

Narcissism

It manifests aggressive, paranoid, and borderline characteristics, but more commonly appears in the form of envy, greed, power lust, an extensively rationalized sense of entitlement, and a pathological grandiose self. Unlike psychopaths, narcissists can experience loyalty and guilt; but like psychopaths, narcissists lack empathy or caring for others, viewing people as "playthings" to be used. Female narcissists tend to be the kind that "sleep" their way to the top; male narcissists tend to get ahead by becoming involved in massive power struggles.

Narcissism

Manchurian Candidate. Really.

Well, the worst-kept secret in the Obama campaign is finally out:

Obama Supporter Defends His Story In Super PAC Ad
August 9, 2012
.​

"The makers of a new Romney attack ad, as well as the steelworker featured in the television spot, are standing by the highly-scrutinized ad, saying the ad does not suggest that Romney is responsible for a woman's death from cancer.

Joe Soptic, the former steelworker featured in a Priorities USA Action ad, told the Wall Street Journal that he thinks the ad is fair."

Is this evidence the Obama campaign lied in order to fool voters into voting Democrat in 2012? Harry Reid proudly admitted he lied about Romney to give Obama an unfair advantage in 2012. Such are Democrats - liars and election cheats.
