Press Confronts White House on ‘Romney Killed My Wife’ Ad — Response: Sorry, Our Hands Are Tied

The pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA on Tuesday released an ad accusing Mitt Romney of being somehow responsible for the death of the wife of Joe Soptic, a former GST Steel employee and a known Obama campaign operative.
But despite the fact that the ad has been proven 100 percent false, and therefore reflects poorly on the administration, the White House maintains that it can’t say or do anything about it because it was produced by a third party group.
“You keep trying to refer to it as an outside group,” NBC’s Chuck Todd said to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney during Friday’s press briefing.
“This is a group that David Plouffe has raised money for. David Plouffe works in the West Wing. This is a group that the campaign has asked to come to the cabinet to help raise money. This isn’t just some third party group. So, you do have standing. How do you not have standing when you speak out about this?” he asked.
“Again, as a matter of, as I understand it, the law, [the White House] has no control over what third party groups –” Carney began to say before being cut off.
“The law says you can’t condemn an ad?” Todd asked.
Carney reiterated that the White House has no opinion whatsoever on the ad.
Here‘s Fox’s Ed Henry questioning Carney over the same point [via Mediaite]
Todd wasn’t satisfied with Carney’s response.
“You made this general request…to the Romney campaign: Mitt Romney ought to distance himself, whether it’s a Donald Trump thing, whether it was Mr. Ricketts,” Todd said.*
“So you’ve actually made those same requests, so, if you believe that they either stand by it or don’t stand by it, how are you not held to the same standard?” he persisted.
Carney argued that the ad is a campaign issue. Todd replied by pointing out that the White House has gone after “false” advertising before and that the decision to have no opinion on an ad tying Mitt Romney to someone’s death is kinda’-sorta’ arbitrary.
“Again, millions of dollars spent by the other campaign in states across the country, blatantly misrepresenting the president’s policy on an issue –” Carney started to say before he was caught for his obvious mistake.
“So on that, you will speak for the campaign?”
“It’s on policy!” Carney responded. “I know what the policy is and I take issue, as someone who speaks for and defends and explains the president’s policies, uh, with that representation of it.”
“What I’m not going to do is become a judge and assessor of every third party ad that’s out there. Again, just the other day, there was an ad — again, broadcast with real money, paid for by some group out there, conservative group — questioning the president’s citizenship,” he added.
And if you’re not familiar with the “Romney Kills” video, here it is:
Unsurprisingly, as noted before on TheBlaze, the reaction to the ad has been a mixture of shock and disgust. And because the common reaction has been a big, hearty “Are you Serious?”, Team Obama has tried to step away from the ad.
Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter claimed that neither she nor the Obama campaign knew anything about the details of Soptic’s family situation. Meanwhile, campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday “we don’t have any knowledge of the story of the family.” Even Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs pleaded ignorance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” when the panel asked him what he thought of the fraudulent ad.
But there are two major problems with Cutter’s and Psaki’s claim. First, Soptic is no stranger to Team Obama. You see, the laid off steelworker is a veteran of anti-Romney ads and he spoke personally with Cutter and others during a conference call in May:
Second, as TheBlaze’s Chris Field notes, the Obama campaign had already implicated Romney in the death of Soptic’s wife, meaning Cutter and Psaki lied when they said they were unfamiliar with his story [via BuzzFeed]:
That slide clearly blames Romney for the death of Soptic’s wife despite the fact that Romney left Bain in 1999 (do we really need to keep going over this?), GST Steel was shuttered in 2001, Soptic’s wife passed away in 2006, and the fact that Soptic’s wife had insurance through her own employer. Oh, yeah, Bain’s managing director at the time of GST’s bankruptcy was none other than top Obama bundler Jonathan Lavine.
Of course, because this is the age of the internet, it wasn’t long before all these facts came to light and the Obama campaign was forced to fess up.
“No one is denying that he was in … one of our campaign ads,” Psaki eventually admitted, adding that Soptic was indeed involved in a campaign conference call in May. However, she maintains that the outrage over the “Romney Kills” ad is unfair because the Romney campaign lied in its “Obama Gutted Welfare Reform” ad.
Pretty much the same thing, right?
Let’s do a quick recap: Team Obama has been caught in, to put it bluntly, a big lie; it has been forced to admit that it knows who Joe Soptic is; and it has been discovered that this isn’t the first time they’ve implicated Romney in the death of Soptic’s wife. Understandably, this has led many to believe that the Obama campaign illegally coordinated with a Super PAC on the “Romney Kills” ad.
Oh, one more thing: You know TheBlaze reported in May Soptic was offered a buyout before the company went belly up, right?
Anyway, since the release of the fraudulent ad, Romney’s people have returned fire:
Bonus: When asked by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about the video, Priorities USA founder and former White House spokesman Bill Burton claimed they never meant to imply Romney was somehow responsible for the death of Soptic’s wife.
No, really. He said that. This is what conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer had to say to that:

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 11:36pmBe careful what you wish for! This is the age of Karl Rove, Citizens United and in the words of Romney, “Corporations are people my friend.” America has fought for years to limit the amount of money that those with lots of disposable income can spend. Citizens United threw that out the window. Now any billionaire can put whomever he want in office, by providing him with unlimited funds, at least at the local and probably state level.
Probably 90% of Romney’s PACs come from a hundred people or less. Given that Romney is spineless and has taken polar opposite sides on every single substantive issue, who do ya think his policies will support? The average Joe like you and me, or the 100 guys who have given him a half billion bucks?
For sure, it’s nasty and dishonest on both sides. I think this website gives a pretty good hearing:

Again, “Corporations are people my friend.” You don’t think that Corporations by law are considered people” I recall that it sounded odd to me at first too when I took Business, and Business Law courses back in the early ’70s. The phrase is actually Corporate Personhood, and a name granted by the Supreme Court in the 1819 decision of Dartmouth College v Woodward as the court has recognized corporations as having the same rights as natural persons to contract and to enforce contracts. Although not fully written into the Constitution as mentioned above, originally it was the SCOTUS then eventually the Congress wrote this into laws. It allows people to sue Corporations, and even for Corporations to sue people and even other Corporations. This also allows corporations to be taxed the same as a person’s annual income tax when the 16th Amendment was ratified. Corporations are taxed as people, and have the rights of people.
I suppose you would have us believe that 0bama attends all of those $38,000 a plate fund raisers to raise money from the every day Joes like you and me? BTW, who let GE slide without paying federal income taxes at all? Was that all Hoax and Chains?

Both Democrats and Republicans are the problem with government, but those who claim that Romney has done more wrong than Obama is obviously proven to be a Liberal. The reason you must ask? Those who try to make Romney look worse than Obama have an agenda because he most certainly is not! Those of us who are Libertarian can clearly see the Chicago politics that Obama has played over and over again against Romney with lie after lie piling up. First Obama tried to demonize Romney with Bain Capital which was proven false by left, right and independent media outlets, then he used the offshore Swiss bank account Romney had which was also proven to be a load of hogwash by the media (Obama’s media included), now Obama went for a real low blow worse than any president has ever done as to claim Romney was indirectly responsible for killing a woman and the media on both sides immediately came out and cried fowl on the Obama administration for stooping so low. We could also go into all that Obama has done against the Libertarian belief’s by increasing the size of Federal Government, starting two new wars, and getting in bed with corporations and banks, as well as having some serious allegations put against him in the corruption of Fast and Furious, true Libertarians would despise all this.

Posted on August 11, 2012 at 4:13am@Huguenot, So you don‘t have any evidence that we’re plants for the left. Ok, Pal. It‘s not that everything you said Obama isn’t true, but why not refute the posts by those in the Liberty Movement about Romney being the same on practically every issue? I mean go ahead and say he’s the lesser of two evil if that helps you sleep at night, but don‘t spread this BS that we’re anything but genuine without any evidence. It might work on some of the people, but you’re not going to herd me back into the establishment box. The fact that so many of you people are coming out of the woodwork, even though Romney is practically a lock tells me the progs on both side of the isle are scared to death of the liberty movement. Oh and BTW, “true libertarians” have always been in Gary Johson‘s corner not Romney’s or even Paul’s.

You’re absolutely right, Romney is the lesser of two evils and as much as Gary Johnson would be a great choice he is not great to say the least. Gary Johnson has no chance in heck of winning and anyone and everyone should know that to be the case, he has not advertised his message, he has not gotten out to talk, he won’t even be in the debates so to cast a vote for Gary Johnson would be throwing the vote away for a second term of Obama, there is no getting around that.
As for Romney and Paul, the Libertarian party supported Paul from the beginning and so did I along with them. Romney was my second to last pick for presidential candidate but he is indeed the lesser of two evils as Obama is the worst of the worst. Would Gary Johnson be a better pick out of the other two? Yes, but can he win? No! However, I think Paul would’ve been the best choice.
As for the last remark you made as to Liberals coming in under the guise of Libertarians it is indeed TRUE, and there is proof right here on the Blaze. There is a story about Dennis Kucinich where he went against Obama over the war’s in the middle east, a certain individual who criticized conservatives and libertarian beliefs on the Blaze many times in the name of “libertariansunite” came on in support of how much he liked Kucinich. Now any TRUE Libertarian would despise Kucinich for all the government regulations and size increases he voted for, including his vote for Obama care. That is my proof for you.

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 4:20pmEverything the Obama campaign is trying is backfiring. Obama only knows how to run a dirty campaign but when faced with an opponent who’s spotlessly clean..he doesn’t have an answer.
Obama’s used to Chicago where everyone has some dirt on them that can be exploited. That is how Obama got his senate seat but forcing his opponent out of the race. With McCain all Obama had to do was say anything the public wanted to hear..and smear McCain as another Bush. The conditions were ideal for that kind of campaign.
But this time it’s different. Obama‘s got a record and he’s not trying to run on his record..he’s just trying to get a smear to stick to Romney..and it’s not working. Added to that Obama is surrounded by idiots like Carney, Axelrod, Plouffe and Cutter constantly putting their feet in their mouths. Obama has spent over $100 million in battle ground states to smear Romney and it hasn’t worked.
Just today, Obama’s job approvals slipped to 43% on Gallup. Romney is consistently ahead on Rasmussen. Meanwhile, Romney keeps outraising Obama each month.

Yes, they do, and Bob Dole released the most to date. McCain only released two years, and I know your favorite John Kerry released 20. Yeah he did release 20 spaced out over his 5 Senate campaigns, and his presidential campaign. Not quite two years worth per campaign is it? For his presidential campaign he only released two years. May as well give him a pass though since he is one of only 17 currently in Congress that released tax returns, but his alone, not his wife’s. McCain’s wife released hers for his campaign, as well the McCain Family Foundation.

Obama ran in 2008 on the so-called “promise” of changing Washington for the better. Remember the “most transparent administration in history” promise?

Now, in a DESPERATE bid to stay in power, Obama hides behind “our hands are tied” while, at the same time, he and his super PAC conduct the most despicable, dishonest, and cowardly campaign ever seen by the American people!
