You have to give props to the Obama campaign for how quickly they fight back:
"Seen this? Mitt Romney claiming the President would end welfare reform's work requirements?"
"The New York Times calls it 'blatantly false'."
"The Washington Post says, 'the Obama administration is not removing the bill's work requirements at all.'"
"In fact Obama's getting states to move 20% more people from welfare to work." [See PDF]
"And President Clinton's reaction to the Romney ad?"
"It's just not true."
Mitt Romney tried to change the conversation by telling a blatant lie about what President Obama was doing with regard to welfare. He's been called out on it. And yet yesterday, Romney had the audacity to say about negative political ads:
“You know, in the past, when people pointed out that something was inaccurate, why, campaigns pulled the ad,” Romney said on the radio. “They were embarrassed. Today, they just blast ahead. You know, the various fact checkers look at some of these charges in the Obama ads and they say that they’re wrong, and inaccurate, and yet he just keeps on running them.”
Mitt Romney trashes ads against him
Mr. Romney, try as you might to change the conversation by propagating lies,
We the People still want you to show us your taxes!
Tracy Knauss: THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES — A person's routines and habits build the foundation for his/her reputation as an individual. In the case of President George Washington, it was his truthfulness that became a romanticized legend. In the case of Mitt Romney, let's just say he's no George Washington. {My thanks to Pam Walker for the inspiration. And that's the truth.}
