Desperate to change topic from taxes, Romney again misquotes Obama

I don't need to walk you through Romney's latest intentional misquote of President Obama. Greg does that nicely here.

What's important is to watch the Romney desperation meter rise as the discussion shifts from whether Romney is hiding something in his taxes to what exactly he's hiding? Just yesterday everyone was atwitter as to whether Romney paid any taxes at all in 2009. (His campaign now says he didn't pay zero. That's nice, did he pay 1 dollar? 2 dollars?)

And now that scores of Republicans, including hard-hitting conservatives like Bill Kristol and George Will, have called on Romney to release his taxes, the Romney campaign has desperately tried to change the conversation to anything but taxes.  Even going so far as to accuse the President of not being American - anything, at any cost, to change the topic.

Every day the stench of desperation grows.
