This Week, President Obama’s Campaign Claimed They Didn’t “Have Any Knowledge Of The Story” In A Disgraceful Obama Super PAC Ad:
Obama Campaign Spokesperson Jen Psaki: “We Don’t Have Any Knowledge Of The Story…”
PSAKI: “We have nothing - no involvement with any ads that are done by
Priorities USA. … We don’t have any knowledge of the story of the
family. As you know, campaign finance rules in that regard are in place
for a reason.” (Adam Aigner-Treworgy, “White House, Obama Campaign
Distance Themselves From Super PAC Ad,” CNN’s White House Blog, 8/8/12)
But President Obama’s Campaign Has Repeatedly Featured The Exact Story On Their Own Website, In A Campaign Ad, And On A Conference Call:
The Obama Campaign’s Own Website Highlights The Same Story Featured In The Controversial Super PAC Ad:
(Obama For America Website, www.barackobama.com, Accessed 8/9/12)
In May, Obama Deputy Campaign
Manager Stephanie Cutter Hosted A Campaign Conference Call That Featured
The Same Story As The Super PAC Ad. “But as my colleague Reid
Epstein reported yesterday, Soptic appearead in an Obama campaign ad in
May, and Cutter hosted an Obama campaign conference call around that
time in which Soptic told reporters the same story as the one featured
in the Priorities USA ad.” (Dylan Byers, “'Morning Joe' Slams Obama Camp
For 'Scam',” Politico, 8/9/12)
In May, President Obama’s Campaign Released An Ad That Featured The Same Person From The Super PAC Ad. “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.” (Byron Tau, “Obama Camp Acknowledges
Knowing Man's Story,” Politico, 8/9/12)
