Mitt Romney held a town hall in Pennsylvania yesterday that has been receiving some attention, and praise. Perhaps most significantly, Romney hit back on President Obama’s comments about how small business owners didn’t build their business on their own (For more on that, see this piece by Tanner).

The idea to say that Steve Jobs didn’t build Apple, that Henry Ford didn’t build Ford Motor, that Papa John didn’t build Papa John Pizza, that Ray Kroc didn’t build McDonald’s, that Bill Gates didn’t build Microsoft, you go on the list, that Joe and his colleagues didn’t build this enterprise, to say something like that is not just foolishness, it is insulting to every entrepreneur, every innovator in America and it’s wrong

Romney was on his game and the full speech can be seen here (Romney enters around 2:20):
