Ranked second in Politifact's "Lie of the Yea= r" is a Mitt Romney campaign video, which quote-mined Obama as saying:=

"If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody= else made that happen."

The video aimed to make it appear as though Obama was attributing succe= ss to the government and not to the people. The quote's actual context:=

"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some= help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to= create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to = thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you=92ve got a business,= you didn=92t build that. Somebody else made that happen."

What he meant by "that" that you didn't build, then, woul= d be "roads and bridges". The pro-noun however *can* technically = refer to the business that you've got as well, and the Romney campaign = (let alone Fox News) took this anaphoric ambiguity to their advantage.

Had the presidential race taken place in Lojbanistan, would = such quote-mining have been possible? Which KOhA would Obama have used for = "that"?
