The presidential campaign is officially back on.
After a three-day hiatus owing to the Aurora, Colo., theater
shooting, President Barack Obama laid into Mitt Romney at a fundraiser
here Monday night, blasting his GOP rival for taking his words out of
context.
“Frankly, the other side can’t sell their ideas so what they’re
goingto do is distort my vision. Earlier today, Gov. Romney was at it
again,” Obama said as the crowd booed. “Knowingly twisting my words to
suggest I don’t value small business. In politics, we all tolerate a
certain amount of spin. I understand those are the games that get played
in political campaigns. Although, when folks like omit entire sentences
of what you said, they start kind of splicing and dicing, you may have
gone a little over the edge there. But there’s actually a real choice
there.”
