But first, host Ed Schultz provided his own very special spin on Obama’s controversial statements. Predictably, Schultz bent himself into pretzels to defend the commander-in-chief.

“If you only watch Fox News, you might think the president was minimizing the hard work it takes to run a small business in America. But, in fact, President Obama was giving small business owners a lot of credit,” Schultz said. “He also pointed out that business folks need infrastructure and opportunity to succeed.”

He then played a clip from Obama’s speech that he gave at a campaign rally in Roanoke, Va., which Schultz said would put his comments into “context.” However, it was just a portion of the same clip that has been sending chills down the spines of Americans all over the country. This is what Obama told America’s innovators and business owners on Friday:
