Justin's Political Corner

President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign mockingly suggested Thursday that Mitt Romney’s campaign has been so dishonest that if the Republican were Pinocchio, “his nose would be reaching from Virginia to Ohio.” Romney’s campaign immediately shot back, using the Democrat’s own observation that sometimes his ads go “overboard.”

Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki’s comments came when she was asked about Romney’s charge, notably in an interview with ABC, that Obama would use the debates to “say things that aren’t true.”

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Psaki derided that statement as one of the “ridiculous, absurd and unproven accusations by the Romney team that are just meant to distract and are not based on any record of the last several months.”

“If Mitt Romney were Pinocchio, his nose would be reaching from Virginia to Ohio with the number of lies and untruths in the ads that his team has put out,” the spokeswoman said.’
