The Obama campaign called a video touted by conservative news aggregator Drudge Report as a potentially explosive development in the election a "transparent attempt to change the subject" from Mitt Romney's comments, made by his "allies."
In a transparent attempt to change the subject from his comments attacking half of the American people, Mitt Romneys allies recirculated video of a 2007 event that was open to and extensively covered by the press at the time. The only thing shocking about this is that they apparently think its wrong to suggest that we should help returning veterans, children leaving foster care and other members of Mitt Romneys 47 percent get training that will allow them to find the best available jobs," said Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt in an e-mail to The Hill.

would think that speaking up for job training is somehow shocking.
They've cried wolf so many times that most reasonable people just tune them out.
