White House calls NRA ad 'repugnant and cowardly'

The White House is not pleased with the National Rifle Association's ad released on Tuesday that calls the president an "elitist hypocrite" and asks, "Are the president's kids more important than yours?"

"Most Americans agree that a president's children should not be used as pawns in a political fight," Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a statement. "But to go so far as to make the safety of the president's children the subject of an attack ad is repugnant and cowardly."
Naturally, the NRA remains as clueless as ever:
NRA spox: "Whoever thinks the ad is about Pres. Obama's daughters are missing the point completely or they're trying to change the subject."
