*Out of context alert* - Romney attack on Obama's business statements.

Romney pulled one line out of comments made by Obama who pointed out how infrastructure support (gov't) supports business development (private).

The Romney team is trying to rally their anti-government base with an Obama-as-anti-business meme. A pretty poor sleight of hand aimed at those who don't, or won't, read the larger context.

Obama's message was simple and direct. Government support of infrastructure, from the highway system to the internet, has supported growth of private business in the country.
