President Obama's reelection campaign accuses Mitt Romney of distorting the president's words, by showing a side by side comparison of the Obama's words and Romney's quotation of those words.



"Mitt Romney is launching a false attack," the ad's text states. But the weird thing is: The Obama campaign is purposefully trying to make it sound like Romney is misquoting the president, when the official White House transcript backs up Romney's quotation.



In the ad, Romney says that Obama revealed his thoughts on business when he said this, "If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen."


And, in fact, according to official White House transcript that's precisely what Obama said on July 13, 2012 in Roanoke, Virginia.


"Mitt Romney will say anything," the ad concludes.



It turns out, he'll even say Obama's words when quoting him!

Exactly. The Roanoke Incident will be looked back upon as the defining moment in Barack Obama's loss to Mitt Romney.

Well when you have uneducated masses that don't read past headlines, if that, you can lie to them and they will believe you.

Pointing out the truth about what Democrats say and do, has always been the most destructive thing you can do to them.

And their only defense, is to tell lies, up to and including "I never said that" or "You quoted me falsely" when it's well documented that they said exactly that.

We're going to see more and more of this kind of response from them as the election nears. They can no longer count on the media to selectively cover what they said and leave out the things they wish they hadn't said. So they're going to have to lie about it more and more.

The statement by Obama was edited by the fascist media - they edited out the preceding sentence of his speech concerning the infrastructure built by the American taxpayer and utilized by businesses for their profit.
Here's the real story for those who want the truth, or who may believe these desperate and pathetic Fox disciples.

I can't wait until Obama's campaign unloads attack ads quoting Romney saying he "enjoys firing people" in the fall. Every swing state voter will hear Romney admitting he enjoys firing people.

Romney did quote the President out of context, and it wasn't the first time
