Claim: The Obama campaign is in a lather over Mitt Romney's first TV spot, calling it "a deceitful and dishonest attack" because of an edited quote from 2008. That's a matter of opinion. We find a far more consequential issue is the ad's exaggerated claim that the new health care law is "killing jobs." The truth is that the law's effect on employment is expected to be slight, and the law's main requirements on employers don't become effective until 2014.
