Team Obama Calls Out Romney For Lack Of Transparency In Press Conferences
Stephanie Cutter, deputy campaign manager for Obama's campaign, fought back against accusations that President Obama does not make himself available enough to the Washington press corps by attacking Mitt Romney's openness about his own campaign in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday.
"You know, Mitt Romney might have had two media availabilities [this week], but what did he tell you, Jim, in those media availabilities?" Cutter said. "He told you he wasn't going to release his taxes because he was afraid of getting attacked. And then he spouted off lies about the president's Medicare system. So do you find that media availability really useful, if he's not being transparent about his own policies and distorting the president's?"
"Well, Stephanie, I'm going to take a pass on answering your question and say that we're out of time," host Jim Acosta said in response.
