An Iowa woman was "shocked" at the way her comments at a town hall meeting with Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan were portrayed in the media and by President Barack Obama's campaign.
CBS News reports:
A woman who pressed vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan for mores specifics on his jobs plan at a town hall meeting in Clinton, Iowa, this week has penned an op-ed in her local newspaper expressing outrage over the way the question was interpreted by President Obama's campaign and the reporters who covered the event.
"I was quite shocked to learn the Obama campaign seized my question, putting out the statement, 'Even Ryan can't attend his own rally without being called out,'" wrote Linda Morrison of Fulton, Iowa, in the Quad-City Times. "I was not calling Ryan out. I had the opportunity to ask a direct question to Paul Ryan and what I got was a complete direct answer with no spin."
"Even though 600 other people were attending, I felt Mr. Ryan was talking directly to me. I thanked him after the event for answering my question. I left the event feeling satisfied and confident that the Romney/Ryan plan is what our country needs. Today I am outraged that my question is being misrepresented and used as a political tool against the Romney/Ryan campaign by both media and the Obama camp," she continued.
