    they had the complete video on John Stewart last night, he said they did not build the roads and stuff, not that they did not build their business

    then they played a speech of Romney actually telling the Olympic winners they did not do it themselves, they had help

    Oh Jon Stewart says....:disbelief:

    Also, Ronmey's speech about olympians has ZERO to do with private sector business. It was a nice try though.

    Oh my, the rightwingnutjobs have their panties in a twist over Obama stating an obvious truth.

    It kind of sad to see you cons swallow some BS rightwingnut propaganda that takes a line from the President's speech, ignores the context, turns it upside down and inside out and convinces all of the retards that he said something he didn't.

    Here's what President Barack Obama actually said.

    "There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn't -- look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.) 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've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

    The point is, is that when we succeed,
    we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don't do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.

    So we say to ourselves, ever since the founding of this country, you know what, there are some things we do better together. That's how we funded the GI Bill. That's how we created the middle class. That's how we built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hoover Dam. That's how we invented the Internet. That's how we sent a man to the moon. We rise or fall together as one nation and as one people, and that's the reason I'm running for President -- because I still believe in that idea. You're not on your own, we're in this together."


    That's right, you poor bamboozled cons, he was saying something that is obviously true. Businesses don't exist in a vacuum. Every business depends on many things that the business owner doesn't (and can't) provide on his own. The entire infrastructure of the country for example, like the roads and bridges, the educational system that provides qualified employees, police and fire services, etc., etc., etc.. When he says: "you didn't build that", the "that" that he is referring to is obviously (except to retards) "this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive".

    The greater the venom in the Obama campaign ads, the worse their internal poll numbers. Right now, I'd say they are panicked.

    Fantastic.

    Now try to fire enough synapses to understand that the comment isn't objectionable unless it is meant to push higher taxes on producers.

    Most important part of the speech...If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.

    Thanks for sharing again.....

    Who said they do?

    Was Obama giving that speech to a group of Special Olympians who may not know where roads and bridges come from?

    Surely not even Obama voters are so stupid that they have to be told that roads and bridges come from the government.

    I think Obama wandered off message and said something not printed on the teleprompter when he said "If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. "

    That was an unscripted line by Obama that told us how he really feels not what the political speech writers wanted him to say.

    Yeah, as I just said: "It kind of sad to see you cons swallow some BS rightwingnut propaganda that takes a line from the President's speech, ignores the context, turns it upside down and inside out and convinces all of the retards that he said something he didn't."

    You make it easy to believe that you are incapable of understanding the meaning of "context".

    Hey joker, if he meant "roads and bridges," he would have said "those" not "that." Do you Dems not understand the English language?

    Or.

    "If you own a business, you didn't build that roads and bridges. Someone else made that roads and bridges happen. "

    Even after a night out with the Choom Gang I don't think Obama would talk like that.

    The fact is that Obama is a collectivist who thinks the wealth belongs to everyone equally.

    Only when he goes off script does Obama tell us what he really thinks.

    Neal Boortz said on the radio today that even liberals will understand this argument. It is a matter of singular and plural. When you say, 'They didn't build that." That refers to a singular thing, ie, a business. If he would have said, "You didn't build those." Those would be plural and would refer to multiple items.

    The context was him telling a bunch of looters that the rich and successful are only that way because the looters made them that way. As such, he will use the force of government to take away the rich's money and give it to them.

    That is the part you keep missing.

    The mere fact that the Boy King's sycophants have rushed so galantly to his aid to "explain" what he "meant"...
    suggests they know just how abrupty revealing and damaging his little collectivist slip is to their deceitful, insidiously implemented agenda.....a Marxist "overreach" that must be put back in the box...and let out slowly...through frog boiling "social justice" policy

    keep talking, morons.

    It's kind of sad you libs don't realize or just don't care that obama believes in the collective and not the individual. He is a marxist.

    Here....read this (I will put it in the color font that you seem to like so much)

    It’s Collectivism vs. Individualism
    Copyright © 2010 By Ray Thomas

    People think the basic conflict today is between liberals and conservatives. It’s not. It’s between believers in collectivism and those who believe in individualism. They think that it is the difference between simply their own definition of “compassion” and “mean-spiritedness.” It isn’t that. at all. It’s the difference between collectivism and individualism.
    Collectivism is really pretty simple, no matter how much collectivists want to complicate it so you will not understand what they’re trying to put over on you. It is defined thusly by one of the best known collectivists, Karl Marx, author of communism, in his “tome,” the “Communist Manifesto:” “From each according to his ability, and to each according to his need.” Meaning it is okay to :take from one who earned it and give that taken to those who did not. This gave permission for government to steal from one and give to another to gain power over both.
    They want you to think the fight is between “right and left.” It is not. The real fight is, while it is still between right and left, on the left, counter to common belief, is always a despotic government, in complete control of its populace while on the right, contrary to what they want you to think, is not fascism or Nazism, but complete freedom, which is sometimes called anarchism.

    Neither is something we want to have, for different reasons. We need to be somewhere in the middle, with just enough government to keep us from each other’s throats, but only that much.

    Obama hates America because America has too many whites. He hates all white people. He hates all Christians. He hates anyone with blue eyes. He denounces any form of hate based on skin color. Eye color is ok because it relates to whites. Obama is a product of a pornographer and a whore who stripped for porn magazines. How proud he must be of his family. Obama forged every document he has presented to America. Who in there right mind would vote for this lying fool? Wake up America.

    Why don't you actually read what he said. "That" refers to the entire infrastructure of the country, not just "roads and bridges". Us dems apparently understand the English language a lot better than the ignorant retards who fall for rightwingnut propaganda and spin.

    The delusion that is modern conservatism continues to grow and insure the end of the GOP in just a few short years.

    And its the tax payers via the private sector and businesses that made it possible for that infrastructure to even exist in the first place.Government has no wealth of its own without the private sector.
    Obama's rhetoric is simply "Big Government".That "Government" is the answer to everything.That "Government" solves all problems.The man changes his tune,but sings the same song."Fair Shot" meaning he wants to take more from the working private sector,and successful businesses,and redistribute it.Every speech he has that SAME class warfare tune to it.
    Im successful,but I should "share" with those that are not.<~Thats his message there,and it reeks of socialism.
    People will start seeing the real Obama by November for what he really is.Hes a big Government statist.
    This is Obamas equivalent of Rick Perrys "you dont have a heart" comment during the GOP primaries(which pretty much killed his campaign).No matter how hard he tried to explain or say sorry for what he said,the damage was already done.There was no going back.He never recovered from that.This comment will stick for a very long time.

    OK.

    For Mr Obama's sake lets raise three cheers for Big Brother.

    Hip hip hooray!

    Hip hip hooray!

    Hip hip hooray!

    But that's all you get.

    Obama and the Obama robots are not entitled to a bigger share of our wealth any more than we are entitled to keep the Olympic medals for ourselves instead of the athletes who earned them.

    Roads, Bridges, Entire Infrastructure? Who cares? The point is that ALL citizens of this Country benefit from Federally funded projects, but I would be correct in saying, that those of us that took our education serious, worked our way through technical schools and college or perhaps took out loans to get a better paying job, one that would allow us the ability to marry and raise a family; ARE paying for these infastructure programs while those that do not pay federal income taxes do not bear any of the cost.

    Those already paying 55% of the federal income taxes collected should not be asked to pay more and should not be insulted by Democrats or a President that is suppose to be working on behalf of all Americans. And in my case, I have employed 5 employees, the same employees for over 25+ years, paying 100% of their Health Insurance, 100% of their profit sharing contribution and providing other benefits. I never received one dime in assistance from the Federal or State Government and I owe nobody but myself for my success. Period.
