28. Geesh, did you notice how ABC spins it with their final paragraph?

This is already a brutal campaign, but the Obamas have long said families are off limits. Apparently somebody high up reminded the DNC of that.

These ads did NOT attack Ann Romney in any way. Is showing the horse they own an attack? GET REAL ABC! And, FIGHT BACK DNC!
