"You Olympians, however, know you didn't get here solely on your own power,” said Romney, who on Friday will attend the Opening Ceremonies of this year’s Summer Olympics. “For most of you, loving parents, sisters or brothers, encouraged your hopes, coaches guided, communities built venues in order to organize competitions. All Olympians stand on the shoulders of those who lifted them. We’ve already cheered the Olympians, let’s also cheer the parents, coaches, and communities. All right!

Just watch how that "... You didn't get here solely on your own." gets cut out and used as a sound bite on an anti Romney ad. The Republicans may have invented dirty tricks in their campaign ads, but anything they use can and will be used against them.
