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

      XPost: dc.urban-planning, wa.politics       From: ass-sucking-leeches@barackobama.com              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.              http://www.humanevents.com/2012/07/26/obamas-you-didnt-build-       that-spin-destroyed-in-1-5-minutes/                                    --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
