Mother of Slain Navy SEAL Scolds Romney

Mother of Slain Navy SEAL Scolds Romney
The mother of a Navy SEAL killed in the attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya told WHDH-TV that she thought Mitt Romney was using her son's death for political advantage.

Said Barbara Doherty: "I don't trust Romney. He shouldn't make my son's death part of his political agenda. It's wrong to use these brave young men, who wanted freedom for all, to degrade Obama."

This is the second person I see that objected to this.

I think Romney is doing enough harm on this matter that we do not need to start a backdraft. If the woman is upset at Romney she will be equally upset at Obama for using it like how PBS agrees with Obama, but wants to stay non-partisan. It would do harm to use this let the mother speak, but do not force it as a issue.
