Romney echoes the same sentiments:
Romney Hits 'Didn't Build That' Obama Remark - YouTube

Listen to it all, or jump to the 1:00 mark. He admits exactly what Obama said (not the hatchet editing job that some of you still believe is real...) in his speech.

But true to Romney's repulsive, duplicitous nature, he needs to attack Obama for the same thing he believes in by LYING about what Obama said.

And for the record again...

Obama's real comments (skip to :58):

Obama: If you've been successful you didn't get there on your own - YouTube

Romney's hatchet job editing:

Obama: "If You've Got A Business, You Didn't Build That. Someone Else Made That Happen" - YouTube (lol... notice the hiccup in frames right after "business")

I love how the same mugs on here that call Obama a disgrace, pardon Romney's multiple lies on the campaign trail.

Short sound bite quotes taken out of context are fodder for political ads and have always been dishonest. Romney has provided a boatload so far and promises to continue his generosity.

The haters who are trumpeting this misquote from the president are beyond analytical thought, anyway. They're supporting a candidate the don't like (Romney) in hopes of defeating a president they hate with a blind irrationality that they feed with childish false accusations.

There is no need to excuse away the Presidents statement. I'd be embarassed to tell someone who worked decades to build up a business, make payroll, grow and expand and become profitable, that they didnt do it.

It doesnt matter what he said before, or after, only an ahole would ever claim that the owner of a company didnt build what they built..

I'm supposing you didn't listen to the President's remarks which you've distorted. Before attacking someone you might want to understand what they said, so that people don't assume you're a ..... (you fill in the blank). I'm just trying to save you further embarassment.

The Romney statement though, saying essentially what the President said ... is golden! Thanks to the OP for posting it. Here we see once again, how so very similar the two candidates are on many of the issues. Mr. Obama, however seems the more honest of the two.

Thanks.

This line of attack on Romney (who is R Money?) will fail as they all have. And what they were discussing are two very different issues but I can understand the atrophied liberal mind is unable to understand the differences in their respective remarks.

First, did you listen to two different Obama clips I posted?

Second, so you also disagree w/ Romney's speech saying the same thing that Obama is being criticized for?

Extrapolate on the difference. I can't wait to hear the high-minded Conservative breakdown coming this way...

I wouldn't waste my time; you're a leftie who doesn't care about the differences. You work for the obama campaign?
