Or was it - "And we've given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and about how - you know, how we live our life."

Today at that truck repair shop, which Democrats would probably argue relies on roads - Romney again stuck on the point: "When the president said, If you got a business you didn't build it, come here and talk to Brian and you'll learn that in fact he did build this business," Romney said, signaling to Brian Maloney, the owner of Middlesex Truck & Coach. http://abcn.ws/NB3dkc
