Ann Romney

Why did the Obama campaign punt instead of fighting back?

I am confused. Hilary Rosen, who is described as a "political consultant who advises the DNC" is being criticized by Obama's campaign staff:

David Axelrod, Obama’s top strategist, tweeted: “Also Disappointed in Hilary Rosen’s comments about Ann Romney. They were inappropriate and offensive.”

And Stephanie Cutter, Obama’s deputy campaign manager, tweeted: “Families must be off limits on campaigns, and i personally believe stay at home moms work harder than most of us do.”

On the other hand, Greta Van Susteren of Fox News is defending Rosen and her remarks against both the Romney and the Obama folks.

I agree with Susteren. What Rosen said is only being attacked when taken out of context of the question and her complete (not truncated) reply on CNN interview.
