Romney claims the President told entrepreneurs they didn't build their own businesses

Mitt Romney has been pushing a deliberately misleading
attack against President Obama -- and we all need to get
the facts out now.

Romney claims the President told entrepreneurs they didn't
build their own businesses -- an attack the Washington Post
called "ridiculous." If you've seen the President's actual
remarks, you know that all the President said was that,
together, Americans built the free enterprise system we all
benefit from.

President Obama has consistently fought for small
businesses and entrepreneurs -- he knows the American
middle class was built by hardworking people turning ideas
into successful businesses. But if the Romney campaign
wants a debate about who'll step up to support small business,
we're ready.

Take a look at this video I recorded to respond to Romney's
distortion, and help make sure people know the truth about
President Obama and small businesses:

It's the Truth Team's job to push back against smears like
this.

President Obama's record shows his commitment to helping
small business owners. His tax plan will extend tax cuts
for 97 percent of American small business owners --
building on the 18 tax cuts he's already signed that are
helping small businesses grow and create jobs. Romney
opposes the President's plan, and supports a plan that
would favor large corporations and give tax breaks to
companies that ship American jobs overseas. Check out this
blog post comparing the President's record to Romney's,
then share it with others:

This isn't the first time the Romney campaign has twisted
the President's words. It won't be the last. But every time
they do this, we need to call them out -- and this time is
no different.
