(CNN) – Stephanie Cutter, the deputy campaign manager for President Barack Obama, said in an interview Monday that she stood by all of the president’s television ads, despite the assertion from Obama himself that some of the spots have gone “overboard.”

“Absolutely, absolutely,” Cutter said on CNN’s “The Situation Room” when asked if she could back all of Obama’s campaign ads.

In an unaired portion of Obama’s “60 Minutes” interview, the president admitted that sometimes political ads, even from his own campaign, go too far.

“Do we see sometimes us going overboard in our campaign, the mistakes that are made or the, you know, areas where there’s no doubt that somebody could dispute how we are presenting things? That happens in politics,” Obama said. “There is a sharp contrast there. But the stakes are high.”

“The truth of the matter is most of the time we’re having a vigorous debate about a vision for the country,” he continued. “Is it going to be sharp sometimes? Absolutely.”
