   OBAMA'S "YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT" SPIN DES

   Now that President Obama and his apologists have spent a few   
   days insisting – with increasing panic and desperation – that he   
   didn’t say what he clearly said in Roanoke, Virginia, the spin   
   itself has become a negative reflection on the President.  He’s   
   basically demanding that his supporters abandon their own   
   senses, and the most elementary understanding of the English   
   language, to un-hear his words, forget his contempt for   
   individual achievement, and swallow him as a champion of the   
   entrepreneurial spirit.   
      
   “You didn’t build that” has become a sort of litmus test for   
   pure, blind, unwavering faith in Barack Obama.  If you’re   
   willing to believe he was misquoted or somehow taken out of   
   context, you have abandoned the faintest pretense of rational   
   thought.  You’re literally not listening to a word he said, not   
   just the four words that are killing his campaign.   
      
   The American Future Fund masterfully makes that clear in a new   
   video, only one minute and thirty seconds long, that provides   
   all the “context” anyone could ask for, shredding both the   
   President’s original remarks and his numerous attempts to re-   
   write them:   
      
   This isn’t going to work with people who still think they can   
   cover a blackboard with elaborate sentence diagrams and somehow   
   prove that the World’s Greatest Orator meant the exact opposite   
   of what he said.  But that’s a small group of people, and they   
   generally agree with what he said in the first place.  They’re   
   just uncomfortable that he expressed it so clearly, and the   
   reaction against him has been so strong.
