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.
