Obama is a Hypocrite? Say it isn't so!

So there is this super PAC, right? They are called Priorities USA and they recently ran an ad about this unemployed steel worker named Joe Soptic.

Here it is:



See, Joe the steel-worker's wife passed away, she had cancer. Sad I know. According to the ad, she lost her life because her husband lost his healthcare when the company went under because, buzz word coming up, BAIN CAPITAL closed the factory down. There are a lot of things wrong with ad, first off, Bain Capital closed GST Steel in 2001. In 2001, Romney wasn't even running Bain, he was in Salt Lake City working on the Olympics. His wife became ill in 2006, 5 years later anyway.

Fun Fact: The Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA) gave you free healthcare if you could not afford it, since 1986. Those are special hospitals for people with no insurance. Continuing...

I don't think poor Joe realizes that Obamacare will give you a big fat bill if you don't have insurance.

When reporters asked President Obama's Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter about where she was getting her facts, she replied, "I don't know the facts". Wait what? Lets just say that line she just fed the reporter was true, just for fun here. You are Deputy Campaign Manager, as in, pretty much running (or co-running) the show, and you're telling me that you don't know what is being advertised about your candidate? Please. Anyway, that line was a crock anyway because, as it turns out, Cutter hosted, yes hosted, a conference call with Soptic, where he detailed his situation.

You may have noticed that earlier in the article, I said he lost his healthcare, not their healthcare. That's because he didn't lose their healthcare. His wife had her own healthcare from her own employer. She left that job in 2003, that is when they had no healthcare at all, but as I said, that is not much of a problem. But Joe Soptic felt like he was being punished by Bain and Romney.

You're punishment must be more severe.


Now, lets look past all of this to the President himself. Mr. Obama was quoted yesterday saying "You got these guys writing $10 million checks. You got these super PACs that are just going crazy". I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that could you say that again Mr. President, "...Super PACs just going crazy". Oh, I thought that's what you said. WHAT?? You know, Mr. President, one of those crazy super PACs, is yours! I know you can't really lay claim to them but you know that one that I was just talking about that has a video of an unemployed guy accusing Mitt Romney of killing his wife of cancer?! Priorities America? Yea, that was founded by Bill Burton and Sean Sweeny. Both former campaign officials.

I cannot wait until November, I'm tired of seeing Obama's campaign continually sink to new and lower lows.
