“Get the transcript!” is a great all-purpose response not only to fabricated criticisms of Obama but to almost everything that comes out of the mouth of Romney or Ryan (or their supporters) as they try to Etch-a-Sketch away from their records and primary-season pandering.
"Obama never called the Benghazi attack an 'act of terror'!"
"GET THE TRANSCRIPT!"
"Romney never said that he's turn Medicare into a voucher program!"
"GET THE TRANSCRIPT!"
"Romney never said that he's sign a bill making all abortion illegal!"
"GET THE TRANSCRIPT!"
"Romney never said he'd get tough on/go easy on/do anything in particular on China!"
"GET THE TRANSCRIPT! "AND GET THAT TRANSCRIPT!" AND ALSO THE OTHER TRANSCRIPT!"
"GET THE TRANSCRIPT!" may be the best bumper-sticker phrase of this election after “GM’s alive; Bin Laden’s dead”.
It deserves more than the buzz it is already getting.
It does not need to be paired with the photos of Romney looking angry or demoralized right after getting slapped down on his Benghazi gambit. That just makes it all the more fun.
