James Taranto writes: “Still on the defensive over "you didn't build that," President Obama's campaign is out with yet another ad claiming he didn't say that, or at least he didn't mean that. This one features Stephanie Cutter, the deputy campaign manager. . . [we haven’t seen this in Ohio yet].
“If Obama has made any permanent, across-the-board cuts [he claims 18 times] in either individual or corporate tax rates, that's news to us. As far as we know, such tax cuts as have been enacted since 2009 have been temporary and targeted--designed to provide "help" to particular segments of the economy or "stimulus," not to improve the overall business climate.
“Then Obama takes credit for "investing" in (read spending on) "infrastructure"; in Pell Grants, which transfer money from taxpayers, including businessmen, to colleges and universities; and in "expanding broadband access," an area in which the private sector is doing fine.
“Now remember all the governmental goodies Obama credits with building small businesses: roads and bridges, teachers, the Internet. It's all right there on Cutter's list. She's confirming, not refuting, Mitt Romney's account of Obama's collectivist philosophy.”

He didn’t say it, or didn’t mean it, but it doesn’t matter, we know his heart

Murray sez:
An example of fast evolution!
I specially like the ad where the guy in the green shirt says, 'Yes, I built my business, did it all on my own". My son, my father, they helped with their own blood, sweat and tears. He forgot, however, to mention the $800,000 interest free loan he received from the government. hahaha... That's a do-it-yourself rebub!!
