President Obama called out the Romney campaign for their false welfare attack ads Wednesday. Romney, Obama said, won’t let the “truth” get in his way during a rally with students from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville Wednesday. 

“Somebody was challenging one of their ads, they just, they made it up, about work and welfare.  And every outlet said this is just not true.  And they were asked about it, and one of their campaign people said, ‘We won’t have the fact checkers dictate our campaign.’  We will not let the truth get in the way.  Think about that.”
