Obama Campaign Releases ‘Out Of Context’ Video Mocking Romney

The Obama campaign is out with a new web video mocking the GOP's recent penchant for using out-of-context quotes from the president in ads and videos. The video uses chopped up clips of Mitt Roney that distort his meaning to absurd extremes:

Watching the video, Romney finally seemed like a down to earth, level headed guy.

I love Obama. He just does not give a shit about what the Republicans think of him. I waited years for a tough democrat and we got one with Obama. He reminds me of how Clinton used to mock the Republicans. Treat them like the joke that they are. That is the key.

This isn't really 'normally' though is it?

First they build the entire republican convention around a statement taken out of context; then they respond to Romney's 'secret' video with another Obama statement taken out of context.

This shit is too funny. Nicely played.
