Stephanie Cutter Biden chains Charge a Distraction
President Barack Obamas deputy campaign manager said Sunday that Vice President Joe Bidens chains comment was a distraction from the larger point he was trying to make.
"Let's look at what the vice president said. Speaker [John] Boehner and even Paul Ryan have been traveling this country talking about the need to unshackle the private sector, to unshackle the financial industry," Stephanie Cutter said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"And the vice president was just taking that metaphor a step further and talking about wanting to put other people in shackles. And the word that he used, chains, is a distraction from the larger argument."
Cutter then turned her fire to Republican rival Mitt Romney for the former Massachusetts governor's "poor choices of words."
