Romney Campaign Calls Obama Hypocrite Over Super PAC Ad
On the campaign trail in Colorado, the president said Super PACs were "going crazy." Not an iota of a sense of irony was had
Mitt Romney's campaign accused President Obama of "hypocrisy" Wednesday night after the president bemoaned the "crazy" behavior of super PACs – despite the mounting furor over a controversial ad put out by the super PAC cheerleading his own re-election effort.
The president complained about the outside political groups, which often have ties to the presidential campaigns themselves, during a Colorado campaign stop. "You got these guys writing $10 million checks. You got these super PACs that are just … going crazy," Obama said.
