Update to this story.

CHARLOTTE — President Obama’s campaign is distancing itself from a Democratic Convention video in which a speaker says “government is the only thing that we all belong to.”

Republicans quickly jumped on the comment, saying it reflects the Democrats’ eagerness to impose government on people’s lives.

“We don’t belong to government, the government belongs to us,” tweeted GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Dan Murrey, the executive director of the Charlotte in 2012 Host Committee, said in a statement that it produced the video — entitled “Welcome to Charlotte” — that was designed to promote the city and welcome guests to the convention.

“The intent of this video was to tell the story of this region and it is completely unaffiliated with the Obama campaign or the Democratic National Committee,” Murrey said.

The website Buzzfeed, which cut the video clip shown above, said it received an e-mail from an Obama for America campaign official it did not identify:

“The video in question was produced and paid for by the host committee of the city of Charlotte. It’s neither an OFA nor a DNC (Democratic National Committee) video, despite what the Romney campaign is claiming. It’s time for them to find a new target for their faux outrage.”
