Cancer Victim Had Health Insurance For Year or Two After Bain Closed Plant

Earlier today, pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA released an ad in which Joe Soptic discusses how he lost his job because Bain closed a GST Steel plant in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2001, and notes that his wife passed away of cancer not long after, suggesting that she waited to see a doctor (she had stage 4 cancer by the time she received medical attention) because of the couple’s lack of health insurance. Well, first it turned out that Soptic’s wife, Ranae Soptic, died in 2006 — five years after the GST Steel plant closed.

“I’d like to know how much they paid this guy to spew this dribble.”

Democrats LIE for free. Just ask obama.

Did Soptic somehow think that nobody would investigate this claim?

[PubliusMM]

Showing this ad on Hannity right now...

Why would Soptic think his claim would be investigated? This is the same media that can’t be bothered to look into the gaping holes in Obama’s background.

What could they pay a guy to use his wife’s death as a political prop? When the story he tells is a lie - and he looks like scammer of the year? Scummy, scummy, scummy...

I told my wife early in this abomination administration that arrogance would be their undoing.

[matginzac]

What kind of POS uses his wife’s death for political gains?
What kind of POS political candidate lets someone use their dead wife for
Their political gain?
Disgusting...

CCN breaks the story. Not Fox what is Roger doing? No one investigating this crap at Fox. Talk about top heavy. CNN runs it down unbelievable.

Ask John Edwards.

[Jane Long]

This lie, coupled with Geithner's fingers on the Delphi non-union pension elimination should be a knock out punch for Romney/GOP to use against this regime.

Waiting....

nnnNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!! Not FACTS!!!!! AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

[Cementjungle]

In any event, he could have continued his insurance after being laid off using COBRA had he felt like it.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Why let a few facts get in the way of a good story ?

[ican'tbelieveit]

We haven’t hit the convention yet. And American memories are like goldfish - 5 seconds. Wait, it is ok.

Ads as well as transcripts of interviews with Joe S. have been on barackobama.com for a while.

Is that a PAC website or DNC etc? If Obama is responsible for that website he cannot say it's a PAC I have no control over.
