DNC fires back with 'You didn't built that, you destroyed it' [View all]

The DNC is out with a new video Tuesday pushing back on attacks against Obama for his "you didn't build that" comment.

The video begins with Mitt Romney's now-famous remark, "I like to be able to fire people that provide services to me," and strings together clips of workers from companies shuttered after investment from Bain Capital and reporters and analysts talking about Bain investments in companies that off-shored jobs.

"Mitt Romney: You didn't build that, You destroyed it," the tag line says.

The video is one of the most aggressive pushbacks to date against Republican attempts to capitalize on the president saying "you didn't build that" to small business owners. President Obama had been referring to public infrastructure such as roads and bridges that aided companies' growth, but the Romney campaign and the GOP have mounted all-out offensives on the comments, alleging that he was talking about the businesses themselves.

Fitting . . . the GOP's entire convention is built on a repeatedly-debunked out-of-context meme. HughBeaumont Aug 2012 #17
