Is anything his fault?

More floundering and backtracking to come...

This is the excerpt of Soptic's conversation with the Obama campaign, straight from the blog you linked to:

"After we lost our jobs, we found out that we were going to lose our health insurance, and that our pensions hadn't been funded like Bain promised they would be. I was lucky to find another job as a custodian in a local school district. They gave me some health insurance, but I couldn't afford to buy it for my wife. A little while later she was diagnosed with lung cancer. I had to put her in a county hospital because she didn't have health care, and when the cancer took her away, all I got was an enormous bill. That put a lot of stress on me: I thought I'd be paying it off until I died myself. That probably wouldn't have happened if Bain kept its promise and I was allowed to keep our health insurance."

It contains no reference to his wife's insurance coverage. That was mentioned to CNN later.

This is what the campaign said:

"I don't know the facts about when Mr. Soptic's wife got sick, or the facts about his health insurance."

So, where's the problem, mess? (sic)

When you find out that the campaign knew about the Priorities USA ad in advance and approved it in advance, get back to us, okay?
