After being called out for lying on the subject of whether or not Mitt Romney outsourced jobs, president Obama and his campaign have decided that the proper response is -- you guessed it -- to just tell more lies. Today the subject of the lies is a new claim, namely that Romney lied on reports filed under oath with the SEC about Bain Capital. The issue is whether Romney maintained a management role at Bain after he left in 1999 to run the Salt Lake City olympic games. This morning, Stephanie Cutter, deputy manager of the Obama campaign told reporters that Romney had committed a felony by misrepresenting his position at Bain in that period.
It is not worth going all the way into the weekds to discuss the issue. The important point is that so far this year, the Washington Post, Fortune Magazine and The Fact Checker have each run full investigations of this subject and concluded that Romney has accurately disclosed exactly what his role (or lack thereof) at Bain was during this period. In language that Ms. Cutter would understand, THERE WAS NO LYING; THERE WAS NO FELONY; THERE IS ONLY THE PHONY STORY MADE UP BY THE OBAMACRATS!!!
So, once again, Obama and his team have been caught in a lie, and the truth has been disclosed by the unfailingly liberal Washington Post, among others. This lie makes clear that many of the other ads run by the Obama campaign that talk about what Romney did at Bain have also been lies since they focus on events that took place after Romney left that firm.
To me, it seems that Obama is getting desperate. Just imagine, telling an easily uncovered lie in the middle of July. Surely, the truth will out before November and Obama will look like the dishonest shifter that he is to a huge hunk of the electorate. It is a crazy tactic. But I guess this is what Team Obama does when it has nothing else.
I know it is way early to predict the outcome of the election, but if Obama keeps this stuff up he will lose in a landslide!
