Obama: “Nobody Accused Mr. Romney Of Being A Felon”

Nancy Cordes, CBS: As you know, your opponent recently accused you of waging a campaign filled with anger and hate. You told Entertainment Tonight that anyone who attends your rallies can see that they are not angry or hate-filled affairs. But in recent weeks, your campaign has suggested repeatedly – without proof – that Mr. Romney might be hiding something in his tax returns. They have suggested that Mr. Romney might be a felon for the way that he handed over power of Bain Capital. And your campaign and the White House have declined to condemn an ad by one of your top supporters that links Mr. Romney to a woman’s death from cancer. Are you comfortable with the tone being set with your campaign? Have you asked them to change their tone when it comes to defining Mr. Romney?

President Obama: Well, first of all I am not sure that all of those characterizations that you laid out there were accurate. For example, nobody accused Mr. Romney of being a felon. And, I think that what is absolutely true is if you watch me on the campaign trail, here’s what I’m talking about. I’m talking about how to put Americans back to work.

“Nobody accused Mr. Romney of being a felon”

What freaking planet is Obama on?

Obama team: Romney committed a felony or lied to voters

Mitt Romney either lied in federal filings that show he worked at Bain Capital through 2002 and could be guilty of a felony, or has lied to the American people in saying he left the company in 1999, the Obama campaign is arguing in light of news reports on the firm’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“This is serious business,” said Bob Bauer, the Obama campaign’s counsel, in a conference call for reporters coming after the Boston Globe published a story Thursday that calls into question the timeline of Romney’s involvement of the firm that the Republican candidate has been promulgating for years.

Deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter laid out the issue as the Obama team sees it: “Either Mitt Romney, through his own words and his own signature, was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the SEC, which is a felony.”

“Or,” she said, “he was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the American people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments,” including layoffs and the outsourcing of jobs.

Obama Campaign Brings Up ‘Felons’ in Latest Ad

The latest web ad from Barack Obama’s campaign goes after Mitt Romney for not releasing more tax returns than he already has. The ad, titled “Mitt Romney’s Tax Returns: When Will He Come Clean?,” at one point flashes two words onscreen, “FELONS” and “TAX RECORDS.”


Obama Spokesman Tells Ed Schultz Campaign Will Not Apologize For Romney/Felony Remark

Ed Schultz hosted Obama 2012 national press secretary Ben Labolt on his show today, and asked him if the campaign will be apologizing for a remark made by a campaign staffer that either Mitt Romney lied about his Bain Capital tenure to voters or he misrepresented himself on federal filings and therefore could have committed a felony. The Romney campaign demanded one today, but Labolt said they shouldn’t be expecting an apology any time soon.

MUST SEE: Senior Obama Campaign Advisor Robert Gibbs Refuses to Condemn Ad Calling Romney Murderer

But let me urge you to watch anyway so you can see the depths with which the Obama campaign is unwilling to condemn something as blatantly outrageous as accusing Mitt Romney of being responsible for the death of a cancer victim.

Obama:

“We point out sharp differences between the candidates, but we don’t go out of bounds.”

Felon. Liar. Murderer.

Not out of bounds, according to Obama.

This is offensive, so contemptuous of the American intellect that only an Obama supporter and the lapdog press could possibly be so stupid as to believe Obama any longer.

Watch the video of this Q&A.

Not only were all of the reporters chosen sitting in the front row, but, at at least one point, you can see Obama reading his NOTES!
This was a pre-planned set-up!
Not a real Q&A.
Spoon feed Obama because he is a baby.
WH handlers had made contact with at least three members of media beforehand.
They wanted to ensure question on the Akin rape comments was asked.
Prepared notes for response by president were rehearsed.
Obama was pushed out onto the stage with some crib notes and instructions to wait for the abortion question. The question came and the president read from his notes.
I forget now which fallacy of logic it is to claim that only X’s can properly make judgements regarding X’s.
The X’s might be Greeks, Jews, Muslims, in this case women, or any other subgroup.
But it IS a fallacy of logic.
A big one.
And Obama is counting on his listeners not realizing that.

What’s offensive are your images and graphics.

@Greg: What’s even more offensive is your defense of a failed President, your false accusations which you fail to prove, and your ignorance of what is right in front of you. The images?? Give me a break, the image of 0blama as President is enough to make anyone with any integrity ill!!

@Greg: I am more offended by Obama’s thinking how stupid you are.

@drjohn:

If Obama thinks Greg is stupid, at least he is right about ONE thing.

@Greg:

Typical, Greg. You are more offended by a stupid image, because it deigns to be critical of Obama, than you are by Obama’s outright lies. In effect, you condone Obama lying to the American people.

That you would rather support such an obvious liar such as Obama, over anyone else, says more about your lack of character, honesty, and integrity, than anything else you could say.

And for the record, this isn’t the first time, or even the second time, that Obama has lied and you haven’t mentioned or commented on the lie being told.

One has to wonder if it is merely that you are that gullible that you believe the lies Obama tells, or that you are so devoid of any integrity that lies are nothing more than an acceptable tactic in order to “win”.

Don’t bother answering, Greg. It’s not like we could ever believe anything coming from you anyways.

@Nan G: Hear the part in which Obama says that parsing and slicing what rape means doesn’t make sense to him?

He’s apparently never heard of statutory rape vs. forcible rape.

And he’s a lawyer?

@Common Sense: Demanding proof is a pseudo-intellectual ploy that you use. I don’t recall you ever providing any kind of proof of anything yourself—you just breakout the usual righty rants and call that evidence.

@drjohn: Calling names again—the usual right-wing resort instead of reason.

@Nan G: I don’t know what logical fallacy it is either. In fact I don’t think it’s a logical fallacy at all—just a statement that’s either true or false. Logic is the relation between two or more such statements (premises).

@Liberal1 (objectivity): Not surprised with your response. If you think I accept the dribble that comes from you without proof you are wrong. I am NOT a Kool Aid drinking robot like you and the obvious is that 0-bama has failed. My proof is right in front of you in the form of failed unemployment figures, national debt, and no economic stimulus. Geeez man, you just spew garbage like 0blama and expect me to believe it?? I know you won’t provide any proof to support your position because you can’t, doesn’t surprise me though.

@drjohn: @johngalt: Saying Obama lies is simple a rhetorical tool used by righties without any cognizance of their own accusation—they’re just repeating right-wing talking points.

To be consistent, however, they ought to be really upset by Romney’s lies.

@Liberal1 (objectivity):

Looked it up.
It is the ”appeal to authority” fallacy.
In the case of Obama insisting that only women can properly judge abortion/women’s health issues, there is no reason to believe that un-named ”women,” might have any more expertise than men or other women who have familiarized themselves with the issues.
Unless or until Obama names the females in question, we can not tell if she/they have sufficient expertise in the subject matter in question.
There maybe many other equally valid positions one can take on the matter, both by men and by other women.

It is a fallacy.
The fact that a liberal is unfamiliar with this fallacy means he/she falls for it more easily than one who recognizes fallacies as they occur.
Sad for you.
You should have studied the grammar and rhetoric of motives when you were in school.

@Liberal1 (objectivity): Reason is entirely absent from Obama’s comments. Then tying Romney to Akin’s dumb remarks was pathetic. It was only Akin’s fumbling that brought the cockroach Obama out of the shadows when Obama thought he could make political hay out of Akin’s words. Then once more Obama stuffed his foot into his mouth when he denied his campaign called Romney a felon, let alone tax cheat and murderer.

Obama’s outright lying – but he knows how stupid liberals are. He knows they’re going to defend his words and defend his lying and defend him from the proper use of images which accurately depict what he’s doing to this country.

@drjohn: It may be argued that ‘statutory rape’ is a lay term, not a legal one, since very few jurisdictions use the actual term “statutory rape” in the language of statutes.

@Common Sense: Your response just goes to prove my point. Geeez man, don’t your knuckles get sore, dragging along the ground all the time.

@Liberal1 (objectivity): My knuckles feel a lot better than yours which are likely playing in your pants looking for something that isn’t there.

@Nan G: I didn’t plan of giving a lesson in logic today, but, here goes:

The informal fallacy of ‘appeal to authority’ is a rule of reason which students learn in their freshman or sophomore year of college, in order that they may develop a semblance of critical thinking for their report papers. This particular ‘fallacy’—often used to question the Word of God— means that the you can’t rely on what someone (God) says entirely, just because it is represented as an authority. For example, would you deny the Word of God, on the basis of it being simply based on an authority figure without any other empirical evidence? Of course you would because you are a religious person. But other might question it.

But of course, like all ‘informal’ fallacies—unlike ‘formal’ ones—the have limitations, for example we appeal to authorities all the time, and as long as there statements are supported by the appropriate credentials and evidence, this is generally considered satisfactory for acceptance.

However, all this is beside the point (another informal fallacy) since I thought this article was about Romney’s felonious activities, rather than women’s health issues. Furthermore, I don’t know when Obama stated that only women were the only authorities as to women’s health. (Please document.)

Unless you are talking about Obama’s indictment of “…a bunch of politicians—who are mostly men—making decisions about women’s health”. This statement seem not to be affirming women as authorities, but denying that politicians are.

It seems to me that your position is an attempt to bend the meaning of something to fit you beliefs. (Probably another informal fallacy.)

@Liberal1 (objectivity):
I think the article provides plenty of proof. Plus, anyone that has watched the campaigns at all knows full well that Cutter said Romney was a felon or a liar and doubled down by refusing to retract or apologize. President Obama said yesterday that no one called Romney a felon. So, he’s either lying or terribly out of touch with his campaign.

Actually lib2, the thread is about how obama lied about what his surrogate said about Romney.

@drjohn: I don’t believe Obama called Romney a felon.

@Hard Right: I realize what the thread id about. What’s your point?

@Liberal1 (objectivity): Let’s try this again. Obama said:

“Nobody Accused Mr. Romney Of Being A Felon”

That’s complete bullshit.

@Aqua: Righties are always reading things that aren’t there—just to justify their position.

Remember when Obama got caught re-writing history on the past president’s bio information, adding in stuff about himself?
Then, once outed, he removed it all?
Well, he’s at it again!
This time it is through the State Dept. as countries all over the planet are fitted out with new Obama-factoids added in when they USED to have info about their own population stats!
Details and more here.

Obama is utterly shameless!
Note how he hides GWBush gigantic AIDS efforts in Africa.
But Obama adds in his own name whenever possible!

@Liberal1 (objectivity):

Did Obama lie or not?

@Liberal1 (objectivity):
That’s your response? “Nothing to see here, move along.” Perfect “lefty” response.

@Liberal1 (objectivity):

1) You are lying
2) You are trying to derail the thread

@Greg: What’s offensive is your abuse of the English language. Piss on Obama and everything that he represents.

the thing is Liberal and the other liberals come here constantly, and only bring nothing from OBAMA,
they only attack what is said here, they cannot find nothing interesting and productive done by OBAMA, BUT THEY will defend him but on what ground? there are no ground they can talk about,
that’s why everybody say that he OBAMA HAS DONE NOTHING FOR THE ECONOMY, NOTHING FOR THE DEBT CEILING EXCEPT ASK FOR MORE MONEY,BESIDE THE MONEY HE GET FROM THE PEOPLE, HE HAS DONE NOTHING FOR THE WOMAN OF THIS NATION EITHER, HE HAS TRY TO IMPOSE HIS AUTHORITY ON EVERY BODY HERE, HE HAS LET COME MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS WITHOUT ANY EFFORT TO CURB THE PROBLEM, HE HAS CAUSE ARIZONA MULTIPLE PROBLEMS AND MULTIPLE EXPANSES,
HE HAS PREVENT TEXAS TO GET HIS OWN PLANE TO AVOID IT’S CITIZENS THE BURDEN
OF THE TSA MANIPULATION BY UNION’S THUGS ONLY WHICH HE IS IN BEST TRADE WITH
BECAUSE HE HIRE ONLY THE UNION GUYS TO SERVE HIM IN THE MULTIPLE AGENCIES HE ALWAYS FIND MORE OF, all get the benefits which hundreds of thousands don’t even find a job,
he has done all and more to destroy this COUNTRY,
IT’S UN-IMAGINABLE TO THINK THAT THE PEOPLE WILL VOTE FOR HIM, AND HE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE THE PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP AFTER ALL THESES YEARS AND HE ACCUSE MITT ROMNEY WHO IS THE MOST TRANSPARENT PERSON EVER TO GIVE HIM HIS TAX RETURNS,
YOU HAVE TO HAVE NO SHAME TO DO ALL THAT IN THIS MOST TOLERANT COUNTRY BUT TOLERANT IS NOT STUPID AS HE THINK OF AMERICA.

The democrats are so used to the propaganda media going along with whatever they say that they speak without thinking about what they say. If someone put together a montage of things Obama has said without his TOTUS, it would make a great comedy routine.

As I have said before, when a democrat speaks on their own, they either babble on and say nothing, or they tell the truth. I believe Obama was thinking about how he wants the US to be, where he wants us to be like Russia and other socialist countries, where the government runs everything. Farmers take there crops to market, then are told some time later how much they got for them. Obama would love to have a system like that, and is working hard to have it.
