Mitt Takes One Of Obama's Comments Out Of Context & Makes It His Campaign Strategy!



Mitt Takes One Of Obama's Comments Out Of Context & Makes It His Campaign Strategy!

To take a comment so out of context and then put it up as the convention theme is the completion of the Southern Strategy. The complete dumbing down of a segment of a population to a point all you have to do is say "get him" and they obey.

News Report: Republicans to declare ‘We Built This!’ in stadium built with government funds

You can't create a modern business without infrastructure. You need a car to get to a business, that care requires roads - you need electricity for running the business etc. Although this can be done privately it rarely is (historically). It's basic economics. (Study ECON 101). 

OR

As Mitt Romney put it... "There are a lot of people in government who help us and allow us to have an economy that works and allow entrepreneurs and business leaders of various kinds to start businesses and create jobs. We all recognize that. That's an important thing.... I know that you recognize that a lot of people help you in a business. Perhaps the banks, the investors. There's no question your mom and dad. Your school teachers. The people that provide roads, the fire, and the police. A lot of people help."...

Jed Lewison flagged  this clip from a Romney event in Ohio yesterday, where the Republican candidate continued to take Obama's words out of context, but proceeded to share an interesting perspective. For those who can't watch clips online, Romney said:
"There are a lot of people in government who help us and allow us to have an economy that works and allow entrepreneurs and business leaders of various kinds to start businesses and create jobs. We all recognize that. That's an important thing.... I know that you recognize that a lot of people help you in a business. Perhaps the banks, the investors. There's no question your mom and dad. Your school teachers. The people that provide roads, the fire, and the police. A lot of people help."
Romney went so far as to say yesterday Americans "couldn't have " businesses were it not for public institutions.
What's the difference between this sentiment and the Obama quote that's proof he's a radical, Kenyan, communistic Martian? That's the point: there is no difference. After Romney condemned the president's point, he proceeded to endorse it.

 



Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart on Wednesday continued his Republican National Convention coverage, taking issue with one of the GOP’s defining mantras: “We built it.”
“When was the last time we heard a catchphrase that was such a peculiar mix of braggadocio and whiny petulance,” Stewart said.
But it has become the Romney campaign’s defining theme. Only one small problem, Stewart said: it’s based on a statement by President Obama that Republicans have taken wildly out of context.



These are earlier editions of factually accurate truth in satire form...

In the middle of a rather banal populist run, President Obama invents an original kind of gaffe when he tells the truth on purpose.


Mitt Romney's attack on Barack Obama's slight grammatical misstep regarding small business is what people do in an argument when they're completely f**ked.


Some of Mitt Romney's and Fellow GOP Members Lies Are Just Mind-blowing! Do they have no shame? Are the GOP's followers a bunch of dufflepuds? (well, they only watch one news channel which is run by a proven criminal, well, his close family friend has been charged). 


1. "ObamaCare" is LITERALLY based on "RomneyCare"

(Mitt say's Romneycare was JUST for Massachusetts and shouldn't be applied to the States as the States should decide... while on gay people he thinks the Federal Government should decide NOT the States AND amend that into Constitution! He can't even steal Ron Paul's explanations properly!)...


2. Here is yet another Mitt Romney campaign add lie that is so absurd that it makes the Republican party look like a cult!

A couple of weeks ago, Mitt Romney brought his trusted teleprompter to the NAACP convention, where he received a polite reception, right up until he vowed to destroy a health care reform law that brings coverage to 7 million African Americans. The Republican then heard loud and sustained booing.
Soon after, Romney made it seem as if he wanted to get booed. In fact, that night, he told donors in Montana that if NAACP members want "more free stuff" from the government, they should "vote for the other guy."
Two weeks later, however, the Romney campaign has a new video, reaching out to African-American voters (via ABL).
In this 81-second video -- which appears to be a web ad, not a commercial for broadcast -- viewers not only see African Americans who apparently support Romney, we also see the former governor receiving hearty cheers from the NAACP.
Funny, I remember the reaction from the crowd a little differently.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the effects of this outreach will be limited. In fact, I suspect the intended audience is white moderates, who ostensibly might be impressed that Romney is making the effort in the first place.


3. Has this guy been fooled or is he just lying cause he hates Obama because he only watches Fox News?...
 

Small Businessman Who Hit Obama at GOP Convention Got $850,000 in Government Loans

At the Republican national convention on Tuesday, nearly every speech invoked—in an unfair, out-of-context manner—President Obama's statement that successful small business owners benefit from government investment in roads, bridges, and education. Republicans have repeatedly used Obama's line "you didn't build that," excluding the crucial context, to imply that Obama believes that entrepreneurs didn't build their own businesses.
One small business owner tapped by the Republican National Committee to speak at the GOP's "I Built That"-themed convention Tuesday was Phil Archuleta, owner of P&M Signs in New Mexico. "President Obama talks like he supports small businesses, but his actions are destroying us," Archuleta told the thousands in attendance Tuesday night. "His administration is putting us out of business. It is our turn to put them out of office!"
But Archuleta's business, like those of several other business owners at the GOP convention, benefited greatly from government help. Through the Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency, Archuleta secured an $850,000 Small Business Administration loan guarantee to build an 11,700-square-foot building for his company.
The Minority Business Development Agency's website also says that Archuleta worked with the US Forest Service, to which he supplies signs, and a Department of Energy laboratory to develop environmentally friendly sign materials. So not only did Archuleta build new infrastructure for his business with a government loan, he collaborated with government agencies to improve the quality of his product.
Archuleta's small business, in other words, directly contradicts the GOP's "I built that" nonsense. The Republican National Committee has trotted out business owners to highlight Obama's and the government's supposedly harmful effect on businesses. In Phil Archuleta's case, government has had the opposite effect.
 Do you see the sheer madness of the whole 'we built this' campaign strategy yet?

A small collection of Mitt Romney Lies...

Mitt’s master gaffe list

Post-RNC, we update the massive (and growing) list of Mitt's epic flubs, goofs and falsehoods

 UPDATED:We’ve added to our comprehensive list of Mitt Romney’s dubious statements — and will keep updating until Election Day. Check back soon!
49. “That very optimism is uniquely American.” Truth: Actually, according to Gallup polls several years running, Nigerians are the most optimistic people in the world. Greeks are the most pessimistic. Americans are somewhere in the middle. (Aug. 30, 2012)
48. “But today, four years from the excitement of the last election, for the first time, the majority of Americans now doubt that our children will have a better future.” Truth: Setting aside the fact that it contradicts his earlier claim about Americans’ optimism, he’s right that Americans are not very optimistic about their kids’ future. But it’s hardly “the first time.” (Aug. 30, 2012)
47. “When I was 37, I helped start a small company.” Truth: Bain Capital was not and never has been a “small company.” (Aug. 30, 2012)
46. “And let me make this very clear — unlike President Obama, I will not raise taxes on the middle class.” Truth: Obama did not raise taxes on the middle class by any stretch of the imagination. The stimulus actually gave a tax cut to 95 percent of working families via a cut in payroll taxes. Republicansfought the extension of that cut when it expired. Meanwhile, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, Romney’s budget plan would raise taxes on the middle class, while cutting taxes on the wealthy. (Aug. 30, 2012)
45. “I have a plan to create 12 million new jobs. It has five steps.” Truth: History shows this is likely an unrealistic pipe dream(Aug. 30, 2012)
44. “His $716 billion cut to Medicare to finance Obamacare will both hurt today’s seniors, and depress innovation — and jobs — in medicine.” Truth: One of the most persistent lies of the campaigns — Obama did not cut Medicare. (Aug. 30, 2012)
43.  “President Obama began with an apology tour.” Truth: Politifact gave this one a “Pants on Fire,” calling it a “ridiculous charge.” (Aug. 30, 2012)
42. “His trillion dollar cuts to our military will eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs, and also put our security at greater risk.” Truth: Romney blames Obama for cuts that will kick in in January, but they actually are the result of a 2011 bipartisan budget to raise the government’s debt ceiling that Republicans agreed to. (Aug. 30, 2012)


I repeat...

Some of Mitt Romney's and Fellow GOP Members Lies Are Just Mind-blowing! Do they have no shame? Are the GOP's followers a bunch of dufflepuds? (well, they only watch one news channel which is run by a proven criminal, well, his close family friend has been charged). 

GOP Followers? Or just Dufflepuds from Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis?
