Briliantly, and all Obama has to do is open his yap and feed me more ops:

What's the difference between a calm and cool Barack Obama, and a 
rattled and worried Barack Obama? Four words, it turns out.

"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."

..
..That ad follows two separate ones from his campaign attempting damage 
control. His campaign appearances are now about backpedaling and 
proclaiming his love for small business. And the Democratic National 
Committee produced its own panicked memo, which vowed to "turn the page" 
on Mr. Romney's "out of context . . . BS"—thereby acknowledging that 
Chicago has lost control of the message.

The Obama campaign has elevated poll-testing and focus-grouping to 
near-clinical heights, and the results drive the president's every 
action: his policies, his campaign venues, his targeted demographics, 
his messaging. That Mr. Obama felt required—teeth-gritted—to address the 
"you didn't build that" meme means his vaunted focus groups are sounding 
alarms.

The obsession with tested messages is precisely why the president's rare 
moments of candor—on free enterprise, on those who "cling to their guns 
and religion," on the need to "spread the wealth around"—are so 
revealing. They are a look at the real man. It turns out Mr. Obama's 
dismissive words toward free enterprise closely mirror a speech that 
liberal Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren gave last August.

Ms. Warren's argument—that government is the real source of all business 
success—went viral and made a profound impression among the liberal 
elite, who have been pushing for its wider adoption. Mr. Obama chose to 
road-test it on the national stage, presumably thinking it would 
underline his argument for why the wealthy should pay more. It was a big 
political misstep, and now has the Obama team seriously worried.

..
And no wonder. The immediate effect was to suck away the president's 
momentum. Mr. Obama has little positive to brag about, and his campaign 
hinges on keeping negative attention on his opponent. For months, the 
president's team hammered on Mr. Romney's time at Bain, his 
Massachusetts tenure, his tax returns. "You didn't build that" shifted 
the focus to the president, and his decision to respond to the 
criticisms has only legitimized them and guaranteed they continue.

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. Republicans are doing their own voter 
surveys, and they note that Mr. Obama's problem is that his words cause 
an emotional response, and that they disturb voters in nearly every 
demographic.

I could, but liars like you so earn it that well... you know...

Did useless candidates and an anti-Bush backlash make that a moot one 
regardless?

Lol.
