Psaki: We are not going to stand by while Mitt Romney slices and dices and deliberately takes out of context the president’s remarks on businesses."
Ahhhh, the " are you going to believe us, or your own lying ears" approach.
Well Mr Romney has already addressed this response.
Romney: Obama’s ‘You Didn’t Build That’ Comment’s Context is Worse than RemarkBy Katrina Trinko
Obama campaign deputy manager Stephanie Cutter (of “felon” suggestion fame) is out with a new charge: Mitt Romney is lying about Barack Obama’s “you didn’t build that” line.
The new Romney TV ad, Cutter claimed, “blatantly twists” what Obama said. “Romney is not telling the truth about what the president said, and is taking the president’s words out of context,” Cutter said in a new Obama campaign web video. “Romney claims the president told entrepreneurs they didn’t build their own businesses. Actually, he didn’t say that.”
“Anyone who’s seen the President’s actual remarks knows the truth,” Cutter added. “The President said that together Americans built the free enterprise system that we all benefit from.”
In an interview with Larry Kudlow that aired last night, Romney brushed off the idea that he was taking the comment out of context. “I found the speech even more disconcerting than just that particular line,” Romney said. “The context is worse than the quote.”
“The context, he says, you know, you think you’ve been successful because you’re smart, but he says a lot of people are smart,” Romney added. “You think you’ve been successful because you work hard, a lot of people work hard. This is an ideology which says hey, we’re all the same here, we ought to take from all and give to one another and that achievement, individual initiative and risk-taking and success are not to be rewarded as they have in the past. It’s a very strange and in some respects foreign to the American experience type of philosophy.”

I do think, at some point, you've put down enough sod.

And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to their hoses or sprinklers or antipathy to people who have green grass or anti-immigrantgardener sentiment or anti-miracle grow sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.".

Weeks after Congress opened a probe into national security leaks that mysteriously arose making Barack Obama look good, we seem to have gotten a little close to the source. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said publicly yesterday that at least some of these reputation-burnishing leaks came from the White House that benefited from them.
Feinstein rushed to defend President Barack Obama, however:
Feinstein said she was certain that President Obama had not disclosed any of the classified intelligence, but believed others in the administration were responsible.“I don’t believe for a moment that he goes out and talks about it,” she said of the president.
Of course not. That’s why a President hires staff and appoints political players — to do that kind of work for him.

I've got a say that I don't know where this "Romney has to define himself" or "What is Romney doing?" crap comes from. You must be in a NY or New England. Because Romney has been running for President for what seems like 6 or 7 years now.
Exactly OX, this "concern" on the left, that Gov. Romney is "hurting" himself by not saying more (or releasing more...lol) is touching.
The man is well-established to those who are paying attention. He was one of the most moderate of the GOP candidates, so much so that the conservatives still are not 100% behind him. He gives 3 to 4 speeches a day, and interviews right and left.
The "has to define himself", is just another "hey look over there" tactic.
PS: Belated Happy Birthday wishes Oxrock !

I know what scares me more than the biased "Climate change" activists,
thats the thought of someone who posts such illogical nonsense, driving a car.....................................................

@ TNB your goal of finding a solution to the unacceptable tragedy in Colorado, resolving differences among those with different points of view along the way, is certainly unimpeachable. But given what you've seen here from the likes of Rob, DC, Meazza, Dev, Tasker, 3rdinning, OCinBuffalo and others, do you honestly believe they have any legitimate interest in finding a solution that would require giving up their guns? The only instrument to directly cause death to 12 innocent people, including a 6 year old girl the mother of whom lies in critical condition in a hospital bed with a bullet lodged in her neck that may very well paralyze her. So sad.
Re-read your statement and tell me where your incredulity comes from ?
You feign surprise that the other posters won't agree with a "solution" that takes away their guns, when apparently that is the only "interest' that you offer.
Law abiding people should give up their defense and their guns , so that these tragedies won't re-occur, says anyone with an "open, caring mind"like yourself.
Self-righteousness like that doesn't help convince anyone...............sorry.

Prove it. I'll be happy to rescind.
LOL....well you're the one who initially made the statement that needs backing up, but forget it
just do me (and yourself) a favor and look up the definition of rescind..................lol

The McCain camp threw a hail Mary with Palin. They needed that hail Mary because of...OBAMA. Palin ended up costing more votes than she earned.
Off the point of the thread, but that statement is false.

Obama Tells Tall Tales About The Bush Years
Fri, Jul 20 2012
By JOHN MERLINE
A key attack line in President Obama's campaign stump speech these days is to claim that the country has tried Mitt Romney's economic policies already, and they were a dismal failure.
Romney, he says, wants to do two things: Cut taxes for the rich and massively deregulate the economy.
"The truth is," Obama says, "we tried (that) for almost a decade, and it didn't work."
Bush-era tax cuts and deregulation, he argues "resulted in the most sluggish job growth in decades" along with "rising inequality, surpluses turned into deficits, culminating in the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes."
There's just one problem. Obama's got his history wrong.
First, Bush was no big deregulator.
In fact, under Bush, the size and cost of the federal government's regulatory machinery increased dramatically, as Bush imposed dozens of major new rules.
Regulatory staffing, for example, climbed 44% during the Bush years , according to a study by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and George Washington University.
By contrast, regulatory staffing was essentially flat under President Clinton.
Likewise, federal spending on regulations shot up 45% in real terms under Bush, compared with 26% under Clinton.

Time to just take that and spread the wealth!
This message bought to you (thru the media) by the DNC.
Are we to assume that the same thing was not occurring in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 00's?
Funny timing with this article, hey M. Axelrod.
Your "playbook" is getting old....................................lol

Mr. Obama was also wrong about how the Internet came about...........not the government, Jefe
Who Really Invented the Internet? Contrary to legend, it wasn't the federal government, and the Internet had nothing to do with maintaining communications during a war.By L. GORDON CROVITZ
A telling moment in the presidential race came recently when Barack Obama said: "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." He justified elevating bureaucrats over entrepreneurs by referring to bridges and roads, adding: "The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all companies could make money off the Internet."
It's an urban legend that the government launched the Internet. The myth is that the Pentagon created the Internet to keep its communications lines up even in a nuclear strike. The truth is a more interesting story about how innovation happens—and about how hard it is to build successful technology companies even once the government gets out of the way.

You Didn't Build That
Readings from the Book of Barack
1 In the beginning Govt created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the economy was formless and void, darkness was over the surface of the ATMs, and the Spirit of Govt was hovering over the land.
3 And Govt said, “Let there be spending,” and there was spending.
4 Govt saw that the spending was good, and that it separated the light from the darkness.
5 Govt called the spending Investments, and this he did in the first day.
6 Then Govt said, “Let there be roads and bridges across the waters, and let dams divide the waters from the waters.”
7 Thus Govt made the infrastructure and the patronage jobs for eternity under the firmament from the Potomac which was above the firmament; and it was so.
8 And Govt called the firmament Washington. This Govt did on the second day.
9 Then Govt said, “Let the regulations and the guidlines under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the Bureaus appear”; and it was so.
10 And Govt called the Bureaus demigovts, and the gathering together of them He called AFSCME. And Govt saw that it was good.
11 Then Govt said, “Let there be police, and firefighters, and teachers according to their kind, for they will create more jobs”; and it was so.
12 And then Govt bade the void bring forth crime, and arson, and stupidity, that each would yield seed to bring forth more police, and firefighters, and teachers, and jobs. And Govt saw that it was good.
13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 On the fourth day Govt said, “Let Us make the economy in Our image, according to Our likeness; let it have dominion over the cars of the road, over the appliances of the supercenters, and over the pet groomers of the strip malls, over all the clickthroughs of Amazon and over every creepy thing of the Dollar Stores.”
15 So Govt created the economy in His own image; services and wholesale and retail He created them.
16 Then Govt blessed them, and Govt said to them, “Be fruitful and use the multiplier effect; fill the land with jobs; thou have dominion over thy realm, within limits, as long and thou remember to get thy permits and tithe thy taxes, for they are good. Hope to see you at the fundraiser.”
17 And on the fifth day Govt made an official Govt holiday, and headed off for a 3-day golf weekend at Camp David. But first Govt said to the economy, "you are free to eat from any tree in the garden, except the tree of Knowledge. There is a serpent in that thing, and thy health care does not cover it."
18 So when Govt was on vay-cay the economy set about the garden, plowing its fields and generating revenue for the glory of Govt. They obeyed the regulations and were not ashamed.

And no one knows what Mitt paid in taxes, that's for for!
Wrong.........as usual.
The IRS knows.
and we know about his 2011 and 2010returns
but stay with your knee-jerk responses..............no one expects anything else from you.

B-man, how do you not get sick of these Op-ed pieces?? Lol.
As soon a writer drops the "Un-American" bomb, I'm done with them.
A rather odd policy, since Mr. Obama has used the phrase "Un-American" many times.
You would have done well, to have actually read the article............your loss.
and ....lybob, you could have had someone read it to you.........................................
There's the gist of it,
The president’s central case rests on the idea that individuals should view government as society’s moral center, the engine of prosperity and the arbiter of fairness.but you can't respond to it so you try and disparage the source.....................sorry, this response is all the effort that your nonsense is worth.

“If not un-American, the ideas that propel Obama’s re-election campaign are certainly unprecedented. . . .
The president’s central case rests on the idea that individuals should view government as society’s moral center, the engine of prosperity and the arbiter of fairness.
Traditionally speaking, that’s not a very American notion.
Surely, he’s not the first president to think it, but he’s probably the first to say it — and he says it over and over again.”

The shooter didn’t need body armor.
He just needed to look for a no-guns sign. And he found one at Cinemark.
“Headquartered in Plano, TX, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. is a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry with 459 theatres and 5,181 screens in the U.S. and Latin America as of March 31, 2012,” their website reports. Cinemark owns the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, scene of last night’s mass shooting. Cinemark doesn’t allow anyone other than law enforcement officers to carry legal firearms in their theaters..

Not worth the effort.
You are correct sir,
doubtless, he/she felt that since there was a B in both our names, he would attempt to be clever.........................but of course he/she failed.
My response was due to the fact that I have debated with B-Large many years on the old BMMB board., and that he is only a few miles from the shooting.
but Mr./Mrs. "Smears" didn't think that deeply...................no big deal.

Whenever I hear one side declare what the other side should do to further its political interests I automatically assume the opposite is true.
100% correct.
The polls show that Americans favor Voter ID by a large magin.
"The GOP should drop this issue"....................yeah, EVERYONE knows they're doing this for only one reason............
