This is odd considering NBS News is basically an arm of the Obama campaign.

NBC has asked President Barack Obama’s campaign to stop using the network’s footage in a recently released reelection ad, POLITICO has learned. 

In a letter sent Friday night to Obama campaign manager Jim Messina, NBC told the Obama campaign to cease using network footage in a new 30-second spot, released shortly after Wednesday’s debate, in which Andrea Mitchell is shown on air citing an independent, stating that Mitt Romney’s tax plan would cost $4.8 trillion over 10 years, a source said.

    Do I have this correctly?

    The liar and his paid staff of liars, have been asked by his lying enablers to stop using footage of them lying in a lying attack ad?

    Still NBC falls short of issuing an apology for propping up The Hindenburg of all presidents.

    …stating that Mitt Romney’s tax plan would cost $4.8 trillion over 10 years.

    As opposed to 0bama who did that in 3 years.

    Nice try ace, but no soap. Even the “undecideds” aren’t buying your socialist snake oil any longer.

    Much too late. Will never trust the lame stream media no matter what they say ever again. Don’t watch tv. I only believe this site & a few others for the truth.

    Does that make them racist?
    Pretty soon, musical artists will ask Obama to stop using their songs at campaign rallies.
