Do you deny that Obama said, "You didn't build that"?

As you've seen my posts to other people, my point was a simple one. You guys are all going nuts over Romney's poorly chosen words, but you were very upset when the GOP did the same thing to Obama. You'll notice, I didn't vilify Obama for that, because I chalked it down to being human and not choosing his words well, but I knew what Obama really meant. He meant that government has a role to play in the success of this country.

But if you want to continue to play word games and get all tied up in knots whenever a politician chooses their words poorly, then you are being small minded. If you are going to be small minded then at least be fair and crucify Obama the same way you crucify Romney. At least it would show you aren't biased.

For me, I choose to ignore silly season political antics like these. Romney and Obama have both made errors in their statements and those statements weren't a reflection of the totality of those two people. Anything implications beyond that is just silly people playing silly games so they don't have to deal with the important issues facing this country.
