re: #34 Brother Holy Cruise Missile of Mild Acceptance

O/T but There they go again… Team Romney is now circulating a HEAVILY edited video to claim Obama was cheering the fact that gov’t payrolls had gone down under his administration…

The entire quote:

The only time government employment has gone down during a recession has been under me. So I make that point just so you don’t buy into this whole bloated government argument that you hear. And frankly, if Congress had said yes to helping states put teachers back to work and put the economy before our politics, then tens of thousands more teachers in New York would have a job right now. That is a fact. And that would mean not only a lower unemployment rate, but also more customers for business.

The part in bold is the only segment of the quote used in the Romney campaign smear ad.
