This is rich.
Stephanie Cutter, the Obama spokesperson and deputy campaign
manager, is being quoted over there at Talking Points Memo as going
on CNN and saying the person who needs to apologize for
then-Senator Obama’s race baiting 2007 tape is…. Mitt Romney!
Really!
Here’s the
quote from TPM:
“I think allies to Mitt Romney are responsible and the Romney
campaign should stand up and do the same — the right thing and say
it was the wrong thing to do,” Cutter said. “Mitt Romney has been
taking heat now for weeks about the comments behind closed
doors.”
As if that isn’t humorous enough,
here’s CNN. Their problem?
It seems “conservative media” are coordinating on the tape
story.
Ya gotta love these people.

What planet is Ms. Cutter from again? We need voter ID laws to prevent aliens like Cutter from voting.

OK...Let's assume that FOX is "conservative media." Who do they "coordinate" with...themselves?

Mitt would never in his life even reference the 2007 Obama speech. He would probably even goes so far as to demand that his allies cease and desist. However, if the Obama Camp wishes to make that speech about Mitt's unfair attacks, they stand the danger of Joe Six Pack going to YouTube and seeing for himself what the big deal is. And if that happens, Obama could find himself in a position he cannot easily spin. Suddenly, his own words (for once) will come back to haunt him. So, I don't think you will hear very much about this speech either from the Obama Camp or the MSM.

Another question that may arise of this, if the MSM and Obama persist in making this issue about Mitt's inherent racism, is that once people watch the recordings of the speech, they will ask themselves why wasn't this speech reported on back in 2007-2008? Why are we now just hearing about it in 2012? Perhaps enough people will raise a ruckus as to put a bit of pressure on the likes of ABC/NYTs/Wash Post. But, in that event, Obama will create another one of his patented distractions.

BO needs to apologise to the American people for the fraud he has perpetrated upon us.

Ask Stephanie which orifice she uses to pleasure Libyan jihadists....

Since the tape is from 2007 it is the fault of George W Bush, and not Mitt. Bush made Obama speak with an accent. Bush made Obama praise Wright. Bush wrote the speech.

I'll apologize for Mitt, Stephanie, and I'll spell it out: B-L-O-W-M-E-Y-O-U-S-K-A-N-K.
There. Apology appropriate and complete.

Stehpy already said they do (did) not blame Bush. Obviously, with that in mind, it must be Romney's fault.
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.

Just another example of the parallel left/lib universe -- their problems are never their fault. Obama and his team have raised that behavior to an art form.
