Here is the actual quote, from which the quote used in the ad was severely edited. (I assume that you did not know this): "And then after this immediate problem, we've got the long-term fundamentals that will really make sure this economy grows. Change means a tax code that doesn't reward the lobbyists who wrote it but the American workers and small businesses that deserve it. As president I am going to eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses and start-ups. That's how we'll grow our economy..." As you can see, Obama was talking about his own economic plan, not our economy. Do you think that this sort of deliberate distortion in a campaign ad is honorable? Sorry, but no.
