As the controversy continued to swirl over President Obama’s anti-business remarks on the campaign trail, MSNBC analysts and reporters rushed to explain what President Obama really meant to say, instead of what he actually did say.

But after watching the full video, Obama’s message is clear. If you built a successful business, you owe its success to other people’s work and government infrastructure, and therefore you should be willing to pay more taxes.

Mitt Romney, justifiably is calling out the president for his rhetoric, as is Sen. Scott Brown R-Mass., linking the president’s remarks to his liberal opponent Elizabeth Warren in a new campaign video.
