Do you believe Obama's claim of plausible deniability of involvement in the disgraceful Soptic attack ad?

Obama camp denies knowledge of cancer tale it told in May
'President Barack Obama's re-election campaign washed its hands Wednesday of an independent group's vicious (and misleading) ad effectively blaming Mitt Romney for the death of a laid-off steelworker's wife from cancer.
'"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," Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One on Wednesday.
'The ad features Joe Soptic, who lost his job and his health benefits after Romney's Bain Capital closed the GST Steel plant in Kansas City, Mo., in 2001. Soptic later told CNN that his wife had health insurance through her own employer from that point to 2002 or 2003, when she left that job because of an injury—a detail that undermines the ad's heartbreaking narrative.'
Obama's campaign staff CLAIM that they had no involvement in making the shameful Soptic attack ad.
Do you believe their claim, or is it a transparent sham?

If the fed taxes do not take you out then there's state or county and neighborhood taxes. Add to that if in case you have a plan then the economic system is manipulated and the curiosity premiums cross up so the banks that are managed by means of the government does you in. And without a truly means of creating it, the trade homeowners have diminished pay and less employees. And the government is going on and hires extra that do much less and taxes don't seem to be ample to pay those overpaid executive employees that are available from eight-four:30 to make matters a dilemma for the businessman/lady. So the government is killing us with two frame blows -- taxes and laws. Contrary to what the click says, the Tea Party has the one believable reply and the Democrats are a minimum of 4 occasions as dangerous because the RINO's which might be slowly taking us to the equal inevitable finish because the Democrats are with the innovative ambitions of socialism via taxation and laws and YES I have noticeable it first hand. The say for those who tax the wealthy much less they're going to unfold it to the fewer deserving. Well, individuals you notice how good that has labored over the final 30 years wherein the tax premiums for the wealthy has plummeted. We nonetheless are an excessively wealthy nation. The handiest concern is the cash has shifted to the only a few wealthy. We rather didn't have a economic problem, however a shift in wealth. Hopefully individuals get annoyed ample to ultimately observe this. It's already beginning with the Occupy Wall Street motion. Maybe a brand new political celebration will pop out of it. But, ultimately will pop out of this mess.

Soptic did appear in a different ad back in May, but did not mention his wife. He did mention losing his health insurance, pensions, etc.
Actually that ad is much more effective than the present one.

Bill Burton, the founder of "Priorities USA Action" ( http://thehill.com/video/campaign/242881-prioritie... ), has been "deputy press secretary at the White House under President Barack Obama" ( http://www.politico.com/arena/bio/bill_burton.html ).
Do we have to say anything else?

Stephanie Cutter is Obama's deputy campaign manager!!!! She has been recorded. She can't deny her involvement. She is part of Obama's campaign team. As Groucho Marx once said "what are you going to believe? Me or your eyes? Obama and his minions cannot speak without lying. They are all scumbags!!!

I believe that the campaign did not create the ad or contribute to its content. From what I understand this soptic guy tried to sell the idea to the obama campaign but they rejected it. Then he went to an independent group and they wanted to air it.

Stephanie Cutter already lied when she said that she had no knowledge of the story of Soptic's wife. She had him on a conference call where he recounted the story.

If they had any involvement they would be fined for coordinating with a Super PAC. Since that hasn't happened it's a good bet that they didn't have anything to do with it.

How do you feel about this latest Romney lie?
=================================
Romney’s ad says, "Under Obama’s plan (for welfare), you wouldn’t have to work and wouldn’t have to train for a job. They just send you your welfare check."
PolitiFact judges the ad’s claim is not accurate, and it inflames old resentments about able-bodied adults sitting around collecting public assistance. Pants on Fire!

Whatever it is, it's working in favor of the President as Romney is exposed for the lying, thieving, scumbag that he is.
Don't believe me, check the polls.
