From The Washington Post:
This clever and utterly false allegation was advanced more than once by Stephanie Cutter, President Obama’s deputy campaign manager.
During several days of media rounds that included some tough challenges — “Felon?!”— Cutter variously stuck to her guns, softened a bit and, finally, under relentless pressure, retracted the comment — or at least the felony insinuation.But the fact that the campaign advanced the notion in the first place is revealing. Trying to define Romney in some criminal light was obviously a strategy and, not to leap to conclusions, suggests both desperation and a lack of any substantive criticism.
Unfortunately for Obama, more folks care about the bad economy than Bain Capital. While Romney was there, he did exactly what he was supposed to do. In business you win some & lose some. Think Obama is barking up the wrong tree.
