A Campaign Spot reader puts the spotlight on another great moment in campaign journalism:

Last night one of the stations played a clip of Obama speaking in PA and he said he wanted to eliminate the capital gains tax. I was stunned and immediately asked my wife if he said what I thought he just said. She confirmed it. I checked this morning for a transcript of his speech and it included this line, “Change is eliminating capital gains taxes for the small businesses that are the engine of job-creation in this country.” So, I think someone really clipped it since it sounded like the period was after taxes. It seems like another example of Obama using smoke and mirrors to claim he is doing something that he really is not doing.

I’d put this one on whoever edited the footage of Obama’s speech. Par for the course this year.
