It's perfect, absolutely perfect! The way the Obama team uses humor to turn the tables on Romney and his campaign is brilliant, imo.

and let these guys take this Presidency away from him. Talk about in your face President Obama isn't letting these aholes time to come up for air and I LOVE HIM FOR IT. This is how you win and President O knows that. Now the rest of the Democratic congress critters needs to start doing the same thing. Fight fire with fire. One thing you know for sure is the republicon will lie, cheat, whatever it takes to win so get out in front of that and not let them get away with it. I love our President and Vice President and our first and vice familes. They ALL do us PROUD. Not to mention the honor and integrity they all have so much of that they're dripping wet with. Naw I don't need to mention that but I did it anyway

Obama ‘Redistribution’ Audio Clip Cited by GOP Was Truncated

The 14-year-old audio clip circulated by the Mitt Romney campaign this week to attack Barack Obama as favoring “redistribution” of wealth was “deceptively edited,” Democrats say, leaving out important context that Obama provided in his next breath.
In the clip Republicans are pushing around – and Romney now cites on the stump – then Illinois State Sen. Obama is heard speaking at a university conference in October 1998, appearing to endorse “redistribution” of wealth.
“I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level, to make sure that everybody’s got a shot,” Obama is heard saying on the clip, which then abruptly ends.
In the full recording, obtained by NBC News, Obama continues to explain in the next sentence that he is speaking broadly about making city and state government more efficient in their use of resources — and endorses “competition” in the “marketplace.”
“How do we pool resources at the same time as we decentralize delivery systems in ways that both foster competition, can work in the marketplace, and can foster innovation at the local level and can be tailored to particular communities,” he says.
The edit of the last line out of the clip earned Romney and the Republican National Committee a “four pinocchios” rating by fact checkers at the Washington Post.
