(Reuters) - President Barack Obama accused Republican Mitt Romney on Tuesday of misrepresenting a comment he made about small business owners that the former Massachusetts governor's campaign has pounced upon as a sign the Democratic incumbent is anti-business.
Romney's campaign seized on Obama's comment that "if you own a business, you didn't build that," to portray the president as unsympathetic to small businesses that help boost the U.S. economy.
Obama's point was that successful business owners have had the public's help at some point in their lives through public education, roads or other government-funded projects that created an environment for businesses to bloom.
"It wasn't a gaffe," Romney said at a trucking company just outside of Boston last week. "It was instead his ideology."
On Tuesday Obama's campaign released an ad rejecting Romney's interpretation of the remarks, and at a campaign event in Oregon, the president addressed the issue directly.
"He's been twisting my words around to suggest that I don't value small business," Obama said of his Republican opponent.

I hate it when they take your actual words and repeat them too Commie Scumbag. We understand completely comrade.
Twisting words? No, just repeating them.
After all, nobody can create a profitable business and be successful without government (read socialism) “help”.
The Pussy can dish it out but can't take it.....
Barack hasn’t yet come up with a better explanation for what he said. If it was a grammatical gaffe, it was Freudian.
“I’m struck by people who think they’re so smart... they work harder....”
There’s the context .. an in-your-face, trash talking taunt.
How can Obama say his words were “taken out of context” when it only got worse once they played the entire speech?
You can bet now the “Teleprompter-in-chief” isn’t gonna go off of script!!!...Good job Valerie!...U must be getting worn thin....
It’s a lot more than just this particular speech. Obama has revealed his marxist views on many occasions.

wait for it...
Waaaaaaambulance!!!
I’m struck that someone so stupid is POTUS.
Obama does not understand from where the basis of government arose. Taxpayers fund business. Private income, paid by private sector businesspeople generates the money that makes the government works. He just doesn’t get it.
She never gets tired. She was taught well by her commie dad. With Valorie you have to ask, what happened to all that cash Obama handed you for that slum rehab that never happened? She is pure evil.
Does this mean George Bush is now off the hook for Obama’s failures?
LOL
Romney stuck it to Obama even further when he said “the context is worse than the quote”.
Even taken at un-face value, that is, taking “what he meant”, it is STILL dead wrong, it STILL shows his disdain for real achievers. It is still a LIE, because he makes it sounds as if Business makers don’t pay for roads and infrastructure, when the truth is, THEY PAY FOR MOST of it, in wages and taxes. This was Obama’s Freudian Slip, down he shall go...
I hope that’s a model for his Presidential painting. It’s the hallmark of his presidency.
1. It wasn’t my fault
2. It was his fault
3. It was the fault of Wall Street, Banks, Lending Institutions, employers, the rich, corporations, anyone with a pulse whose last name wasn’t Obama...
4. If you achieved, you deserve no credit
3.5 years and counting, this infant STILL has no plan for getting this nation back on track, and a myriad of plans for destroying it.
Adios Heffe...
FBHO
Correction: Make that, "Hasta la vista Heffe..."
WAAA, my pussy hurts.
Obama vs Obama hehe
FBHO
I’m really getting to enjoy Romney and the “context is worse than the quote” is so refreshing, and amusing and true.
This was arguably the stupidest statement ever uttered by a North American politician since the Spanish discovered America. Nobody needs to twist this one.
Obama has no idea what he read. He’s on drugs all the time.
Obama is stunned that someone is turning his own words back on him.
How can that happen to Chris Mattews’ “Perfect American”?
To the smartest man to ever occupy the presidency?
To the “Golden Orator”?
It’s dirty politics, that’s what it is!
Color me non excited.
I hope thats a model for his Presidential painting. Its the hallmark of his presidency.
1. It wasnt my fault
2. It was his fault
I believe the Baraq Hussein Obama Presidential Library and Choom Gang Museum will have three branches:
Hawaii, California, and Chicago.
Psst...O, Read my tagline! The government didn’t do it, my CUSTOMERS did. I’m succesful because of them - not the government.

The windows in the smoking rooms will be locked closed.
That bell isn’t going to get unrung no matter how
hard his handlers try to walk it back....
There was reference to the choom gang on another thread a few days back. Who or what is the choom gang?
google it...
Okaka’s dope smoking buddies at Punahou. Maybe it’s Hawaiian pidgen.
Oops - should have added, the Hawaiian pidgen word for marijuana is or used to be pakalolo.
“Crazy weed”.
Thank goodness we have media like Reuters to explain to us what Barack Hussein Obama really meant to say.
And guess what, 0dumb0sh_t? He's right! Your own words condemn you as a hardcore radical commie pig marxist muslim pig!
I like ‘’Adios cabron!’’ much better.
“He’s on drugs all the time’’.< Exactly what I’ve been saying all along, seriously. He’s either doing coke, smoking crack or dropping acid. The jaw-dropping, sheer stupidity of the things he’s been coming out with lately seems to lead to that conclusion. Either that or there is the slight possibility that he’s playing to lose. He knows he’s in over his head and I’m sure Michelle wants out. He’s probably trying to ‘’take a dive’’.
Obama says “the buck stops with you”.
Obama said the words. He wasn’t misquoted or misunderstood. He needs to listen to himself every so often so he can hear how crazy he sounds.
Thanks. :-)
