Obama’s ‘Truth Team’ Considers MSNBC’s Ed Schultz a Good Source For “The Truth”

Just like in 2008, the Obama campaign is supposed to be a sharp, unstoppable, well oiled machine that is guaranteed to carry him to his reelection. But there have been some glaring missteps…

A few weeks ago the Obama Camp disabled credit card verification on its donation webpage, inviting campaign finance fraud.

Obama has skirted the the laws of propriety and decency so severely with his constant campaigning at taxpayer expense, even liberals are grousing about it, and RNC lawyers are investigating. His appearance on the Jimmie Fallon Show the other night, (where he continued in his pitiful mission to regain “his cool”), was a possible violation of campaign finance laws.

We’ve seen the Obama camp use diversionary tactics like  attacking Ann Romney for being a stay at home mom, and Mitt for the way he traveled with the family dog 30 years ago…

And just when you thought Obama’s reelection campaign could not sink any lower, and get any more desperate – this happens:

On Wednesday, the President’s campaign website – under the hysterical rubrick of “Truth Team” aka “Keeping GOP Honest“ – published a video featuring Ed Schultz trashing presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

So one of Obama’s biggest and most ridiculous shills is being tapped by his campaign to supposedly tell the truth to voters. What next? Will the Truth Team link to Keith Olberman’s Twitterfeed?

Newsbusters’, Noel Sheppard asks,  “Does the White House REALLY want to associate itself with a man that has said or done the following in the past twelve months?”:

• ‘So What’ if Trayvon Martin Broke George Zimmerman’s Nose?‘
• ‘Bastard,’ ‘Slut,’ ‘Dirthole’ Conservatives
• ‘You Better Be Packing Iron’ to Defend Yourselves
• Equates Pepper-Spraying Occupy Protesters to Rodney King Beating
• ‘Damn Political Phony’ Marco Rubio Is ‘Not a True American’
• Edits Rick Perry to Falsely Accuse Him of Making Racist Remark About Obama
• Boehner Is a Lazy, Short-Fused Liar Who’s ‘More Comfortable On a Bar Stool’
• Badly Mispronounces ‘Schlafly’ in Segment Mocking Palin and Bachmann’s IQ
• Claims He ‘Broke the Story on Larry Craig’ He Didn’t Break
• Calls Laura Ingraham a ‘Right-wing Slut’ and ‘Talk Slut’
• ‘Gingrich Wants to Cut Food Stamps to Give Tax Breaks to Old White Millionaires’
• Sued by NBC Employee Alleging Fraud, ‘Anti-Labor Practices’
• Calls John Boehner and Paul Ryan Liars Moments Before Lying About Medicare
• ‘The Republican Party Stands For Racism’
• There’s a Vast Right Wing Network Spreading Reagan’s Ideas to Destroy Middle Class
• His Favorite Senator Is Congress’s Only Avowed Socialist

Is this REALLY the kind of person you want doing fact-checks for your campaign?

If your name is Barack Obama, the answer apparently is “Yes.”

They are desperate and flailing, folks.
