Romney Demands Apology For Obama Campaign's 'Felon' Lie

This morning, the Obama team, springboarding from mainstream media coverage it had likely astroturfed, said that Mitt Romney was either a “felon” or a liar. Its mainstream media lackeys quickly played it up. And this morning, the Obama team was completely debunked by members of its own media, who were shamed into telling the truth by an enraged New Media. Now, the Romney campaign is calling for an apology from the Obama campaign and a retraction from the Boston Globe.

“President Obama’s campaign hit a new low today when one of its senior advisers made a reckless and unsubstantiated charge to reporters about Mitt Romney that was so over the top that it calls into question the integrity of their entire campaign,” said Matt Rhoades, Campaign Manager of Romney For President. “President Obama ought to apologize for the out-of-control behavior of his staff, which demeans the office he holds. Campaigns are supposed to be hard fought, but statements like those made by Stephanie Cutter belittle the process and the candidate on whose behalf she works.”

Another day, another Obama campaign implosion on Bain Capital.

Yesterday, official mainstream media Obama bootlicker Greg Sargent of the Washington Post explained why the Obama campaign was so intent on targeting Bain Capital:

The goal is twofold: First, to undermine Romney’s principle case for the presidency, i.e., that his business background makes him a “job creator” who is equipped to turn around the country’s economy. And second, to define Romney in a way that makes it easier for voters to understand his true policy goals and priorities on entitlements, taxes, and other issues.

And thus the Obama campaign has sought to exploit the Bain Capital issue in a variety of ways. Each time, they’ve failed epically:

John Sununu was on with Katherine Mary Ham and Guy Benson today and he slammed Obama, saying that the Obama campaign and Felony are what Chicago politics are all about. Then he went on to remind everyone that Obama’s financier and neighbor Rezko was in prison for felony, that Blago was in prison for felony.

It was hilarious. Hopefully Andrea Mitchell can invite him back and start on the Romney may have committed a felony line of questioning...

Demanding an apology. Such tough talk! /s

John Sununu and Juan Williams were on Hannity talking about this--Sununu did a pretty good job of explaining when he could get a word in edgewise.

I wonder--can Holder put pressure on the SEC to have an "investigation" to find out if Mitt committed a felony?
