Joe Soptic Ad
Featured Coverage of this Story
Fox News Digital
Ex-steelworker Joe Soptic, featured in an inaccurate and misleading Obama ad that suggests Mitt Romney was responsible for his wife's death, also appears in other Obama ads — an apparent contradiction of top campaign aide Robert Gibbs' claim that he doesn't know 'the specifics of the man's case.'

When President Obamas aides said they werent familiar with former Missouri steelworker Joe Soptics life story, all they had to do was check their own campaign archives. Soptic, laid off from Bain Capital-owned GST Steel, stars in a Priorities USA Action spot this week in which he tells of how his wife died without health insurance after he lost his job. Soptic also appeared, wearing what appears to be an identical shirt, in a May television ad for the Obama campaign.

Hypocritical. Contemptible. Dishonest. "Obamaloney." The rhetoric, charges and counter-charges flew fast and thick Tuesday as the presidential election campaign continued on its sharply negative trajectory.
