"You didn't build that" is swelling to such heights that it has the
president somewhere unprecedented: on defense. Mr. Obama has felt
compelled—for the first time in this campaign—to cut an ad in which he
directly responds to the criticisms of his now-infamous speech,
complaining his opponents took his words "out of context."
The Obama campaign's bigger problem, both sides are now realizing, is
that his words go beyond politics and are more devastating than the
Romney complaints that Mr. Obama is too big-government oriented or has
mishandled the economy. They raise the far more potent issue of national
identity and feed the suspicion that Mr. Obama is actively hostile to
American ideals and aspirations. " [WSJ]
