Team Obama Caught in Blatant Lie

Step one - The Obama campaign claims no knowledge of Joe Soptic's story while refusing to denounce a shockingly offensive and false political ad produced by their former colleague's pro-Obama SuperPAC:

Asked about the Priorities spot on MSNBC Wednesday morning, Robert Gibbs said he doesn’t “know the specifics” while Stephanie Cutter said on CNN: “I don’t know the facts about when Mr. Soptic’s wife got sick or the facts about his health insurance.” And Jen Psaki told reporters on Air Force One that “we don't' have any knowledge of the story of the family.”

Step two - The coordinated lie goes down in flames:

Here is the audio of Mr. Soptic recounting the horrible details of his wife's death -- which occurred five years after he lost his job at GST and seven years after Mitt Romney left Bain Capital.  (He fails to mention that his wife had her own insurance before she left her job, a detail that was also omitted from the -- totally uncoordinated! -- SuperPAC ad).  Note the voice at the very end of the clip:

That was Stephanie Cutter in May, thanking Joe for "sharing his experiences" on a conference call she was running.  Yes, the very same Stephanie Cutter who claimed on national television earlier today that she does not "know the facts about when Mr. Soptic’s wife got sick or the facts about his health insurance."  Oh, and the May conference call was orchestrated, organized and executed by the very campaign that now tells voters that they "don't have any knowledge of the story of the [Soptic] family."  (Continues)
