By JENNIFER EPSTEIN
Mitt Romney's campaign manager called Thursday for President Obama to apologize for his campaign staff's "out of control behavior," but the Obama campaign says there's no apology coming.
"No," Obama press secretary Ben LaBolt said in response to a question from POLITICO about whether the president would apologize.

In a conference call with reporters, deputy Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter suggested that Romney had either lied to the American people about his work experience at Bain Capital or had committed a felony. Rhoades responded: "Campaigns are supposed to be hard fought, but statements like those made by Stephanie Cutter belittle the process and the candidate on whose behalf she works."
LaBolt also offered a statement from Obama campaign general counsel Bob Bauer, who said that the conflict of the assertions made by the Romney campaign, Bain and the candidate with filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission would typically lead to suspicions. "Under normal circumstances, the question of the truth of this representation would result in an investigation by the SEC into possible criminal, as well as civil, violations of the law," Bauer said.

(20,317 posts)defending Romney by saying that 'if he did what the Obama Administration claims (being in with Bain after the date he claims), then it would've been a felony'. He demanded to know if these detractors were seriously insinuating that Romney was guilty of a felony.
Now that there's proof that he did in fact do as was claimed, they are offended at the suggestion that it constitutes a felony? Huh?
Ah-- found it. Here it is:

Mind you, I'm not complaining. Far from it. It's just such a strange and beautiful sight to behold, part of me still can't believe it's real.
