Granted, the Obama admisitration did the politically practical thing. Whether it was the right thing remains to be seen, but there was hardly a different option for the administratation. It was a damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of thing. Romney on the other hand is engaging in opportunism. Had Obama decided to stay out of it, Romney would be hammering him on that.
