Whoa geeze. Romney's folks are taking the gloves off big time and I'm thrilled. Obama's campaign staff are over the top.
Suggesting that Romney is a felon is way way out of line.
Mitt Romney's campaign manager today accused President Obama's campaign of being "out-of-control" after a top Obama staffer said the former Massachusetts governor either broke the law or lied to voters.
Stephanie Cutter, Mr. Obama's deputy campaign manager, said recent news reports that questioned when Mr. Romney left Bain Capital have put his entire business record under scrutiny, and said he owes voters or the Securities and Exchange Commission an explanation.
On a conference call with reporters Ms. Cutter said Mr. Romney "is the most secretive person to run for president since Richard Nixon."
But Matt Rhoades, Mr. Romney's campaign manager, said that charge was so over-the-top that Mr. Obama needs to apologize for his entire campaign operation.
"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," Mr. Rhoades said in a statement. "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."
