It's Official

It's official or as official as anything can be in this crazy campaign season.

It looks like the Obama campaign has given an "wink" and a "nod" to the slanderous remarks of Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV).  Citing no source the Senate Majority Leader has avowed that presidential candidate Mitt Romney has paid no taxes in ten years.

The Washington Post, usually a campaign mouthpiece, has give the comments "4 Pinocchio".  A sign that the Post finds no credibility to the story of Reid's comments.

White House spokesperson Jay Carney (formerly of Newsweek) has said in press briefings that the White House has nothing to do with Reid's comments.  That also deserves a few Pinoochios.

A few weeks ago a campaign operative, Stephanie Cutter used the word "felon" to describe Romney.  Both the campaign and White House quickly disavowed her comments, but never required her to retract them.  This morning Cutter used Twitter to demonstrate that the campaign with her as a senior adviser were arm and arm with the Reid comments.

Not much of a surprise as the Obama campaign vowed early in the campaign to destroy Mitt Romney.  Looks like that is still a plan. More from Brietbart

Stories are circulating today that the Obama campaign will try the same tactic on Romney's VP pick before he picks one.  A Florida campaign staffer issued an email which told recipients to find the "bad and ugly" on Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH).  Rubio and Portman are widely believed to be at the top of Romney's list for VP.

Stay tuned for more denials from the campaign and the White House on all points.
