Not a gaffe.

Of course, Obama's deceitful campaign will take 10 seconds of that and turn it into an ad, but once more of it airs, I think a lot of Americans would agree with the point Mitt was making - Choice in education shouldn't be based on how much money you have.

Deceitful? Cry me a river. The Obama campaign is responding to questionable things that Romney has actually said, which, lets be honest, is the gift that keeps of giving. They may use the quotes to fit a specific narrative but that's how campaigns work.

Which, considering the context, is being deceitful, as the ad will probably have nothing to do with education.

Well, let's also keep in mind that we totally just made up an Obama campaign ad.

All presidential campaigns take unfortunate comments and squeeze the life out of them.  Clinton and McCain had a field day with some of the things Obama said early in 2008, but now he's a pro at staying on script and on message (with just a few slip ups). Romney is still working on that.
