First there was the Mitt Romney whopper about a fictional Obama apology tour.  Then a flailing Rick Perry desperate to remain relevant in the Republican race raised him with an outright lie that Obama called American workers lazy.  Now Mittens has decided to double down with a blatant lie, taking a clip of Obama quoting McCain and pretending it was an original Obama statement.

This is the latest salvo in a campaign where a president who lowered taxes, oversaw a return of corporate profits to pre-recession levels, prevented a collapse of the Detroit auto-makers, passed a healthcare plan originally drafted by Republicans, ordered the raid that took out Osama deep in the heart of Pakistan and midwifed the fall of Muammar Gaddafi is somehow a befuddled America hating marxist/socialist naif.  Mitt Romney should know better, but then we already know that there is nothing he will not do to gain the Presidency.

Problem is, others can take Romney quotes out of context to lie as well (video below):
