CHARLOTTE — After being pummeled for days at the Republican National Convention for his remark that business owners “didn’t build that,” President Obama heads to the Democratic National Convention in North Carolina this week facing mounting questions about how he will respond to charges that he is hostile to free enterprise.
On Sunday, senior Obama advisers suggested that they will not address the anti-business allegations directly but will instead try to turn the tables on their GOP rivals by accusing them of being dishonest about what Obama meant. David Plouffe, a senior White House adviser, said in an interview Sunday on ABC News that Republican Mitt Romney’s campaign is engaged in a broader pattern of dishonesty and is “built on a tripod of lies.” Plouffe cited accusations that Obama has gutted the work requirement for welfare and “raided” Medicare to pay for the nation’s new health-care law as other examples of untruths coming from the GOP.
The Obama team thinks that it has effectively dealt with the “build that” attacks and that the issue is overblown — the “drill, baby, drill” of 2012, a rallying cry for the right but ultimately one with limited appeal in the broader electorate...

And obama STILL would win in Maryland.
If they truly believe that, they are fools. And do they really think they'll win North Carolina this time? I doubt that they'll win in ANY former Confederate or border state.
Yeah that’ll work.
the democrats need to be informed we plan to revive....
DRILL HERE DRILL NOW BABY..
ARE WE READY??? YA BETCHA WE ARE...
DRILL HERE DRILL NOW...
Obama meant EXACTLY what he said! He was mocking achievement! He belittled hard work!
Here’s the video in case you’ve forgotten! If the Romney camapign does not run ads with this from now until election day then they are stupid!

Actually, they could run the ads and still be stupid.
;)
I was just surfing and learned the Dem’s convention theme is going to be...wait for it...
“WE MAKE IT POSSIBLE”...
So the message I’m getting here is- yeah- you citizens do some good stuff, but WE, THE GOVERNMENT make it POSSIBLE.
Seriously? THIS is their answer to You Didn’t Build That?

What’s the old adage... “if you’re explaining, you’re loosing”... they’d be better off if they just left it alone and talked about everything else... lucky for us...
That is prime dude...
LOL!
Perfect.
Marxists have always scoffed at the concept of private property.
Oh, I don't know about that. But let 'em continue to think it.
Make an ad - Obama says we are lying so we will let him speak for himself - then play the clip in his own words.
That was the motto submitted by the nonpartisan host committee of the city of Charlotte to win rights to the convention. And they probably did make the infrastructure possible through public financing. I doubt the Dems will double down on an unpopular message to make it the actual theme of the proceedings, but you never know.
Well..they have a point.
They have made record unemployment possible
They have made record poverty levels possible
They have made record healthcare costs possible
They have made record food stamp recipients possible.
They have made record deficits possible.
And on and on and on.
That is how this should be answered by the Romney Campiagn IMHO.
Brilliant response:)
Good! Keep digging, ‘Rats!
I am dreading this week with all dems all the time...lol. Wish I could go on a vacation to get away from it all!! We went to see Dinesh D’Souza’s movie today. It was pretty good but nothing as a political junkie that I didn’t already know. I think it will appeal to moderates and independents though.
Not sure this country will survive 4 more years of Obama and his merry band of Marxists.
