>So now you want to tell us what he meant instead of what he said? Is it any wonder that most of the time when I'm busy, I don't pay attention to SI? I don't need to play these games online except when I need a diversion... but right now I need one, so what the hell, I'll play yours. I'm going to tell you what he said: "If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that." Sounds reasonable, I think. But, this is what Romney's camp spliced together from it: "If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be ‘cause I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen." Big difference, no? -Z
