USA Today: "The President says" that "you didn't build that" taken out of context

That is the state of our media these days. The USA Today (in an article written by its Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page) says that Obama says (instead of flat-out calling out Republicans for this lie) that Obama's assertion was taken out of context. USA Today goes on to quote Romney's campaign repeating the accusation.

Unbelievable.

A Romney ad that accuses Obama of gutting the welfare law by offering state waivers has been debunked by independent fact-checkers. The waivers offer states flexibility but not relief from the work requirement. And the president says Republicans are pulling out of context and mischaracterizing his "you didn't build that" remark.
