Yesterday should have been dominated by the news that all of President Obama’s top political advisers blatantly lied about their intimate knowledge of the false campaign ad Obama’s Super PAC produced about the death of a former steelworkers wife in Kansas City. When the ad first aired earlier this week, Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter, Obama Campaign Senior Adviser Robert Gibbs, and Obama Campaign Spokesperson Jen Psaki all categorically denied any knowledge about the facts of the incident in question.
But then yesterday, Politico posted the audio of an official Obama campaign conference call, hosted Cutter herself, featuring the exact same steelworker, Joe Soptic. “Thank you, Joe. We really appreciate you and David sharing your experiences,” Cutter says at the end of the call, right after Soptic detailed the facts of his case.
