Selling out - Joe Soptic

This singularly vituperative advertisement published today by the Obama super-PAC Priorities USA Action.
The Lies: Joe Soptic was an employee of GST Steel that was shut down by Bain Capital in 2001. He lost healthcare for him and his family. His wife was ill and got sick enough to warrant a trip to the County Hospital. She was diagnosed with stage-four cancer and died 22 days later. The Truth: Romney left Bain Capital in 1999 to work on the Salt Lake City Olympics and to enter public service. The company would have folded earlier -- remember, Bain comes in to try to rescue companies that are in trouble. Joe Soptic said that he lost his health care when he was laid off. Actually, his wife -- Ilyona "Ranae" Soptic -- died in 2006, she and the family had health care through her own job. More (LA Times) here and (CNN) here. Joe -- how does it feel to use your dear dead wife's name for political gain. What does it feel like to be a fscking tool. If this is the caliber of Obama's PACs, this speaks volumes on Obama's leadership for the last four years... Posted by DaveH at August 7, 2012 8:52 PM
