The Obama campaign now thinks it’s Chico Marx playing Chicolini in Duck Soup: “Well, who you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?”
In a new ad, the Obama campaign says Mitt Romney is intentionally changing Obama’s words; they show a side-by-side comparison of Obama’s words and Romney’s quotation of them, saying, “Mitt Romney is launching a false attack.”
Only one problem, guys. What Romney quoted from Obama was this:
“If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
The Obama ad continues, “The only problem? That’s not what he said.” Guess what the official White House transcript says Obama said July 13, 2012 in Roanoke, Virginia?
“If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
And astonishingly, guess what video is included in the same Obama attack ad? Video of Obama in Roanoke saying:
“If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
The Obama ad triumphantly ends by saying, “Mitt Romney will say anything.”
As Groucho said about Chicolini in the same movie, “Gentlemen, Chicolini here may talk like an idiot, and look like an idiot, but don’t let that fool you: he really is an idiot.”
