    Yep, he said that too. He's a schmuck. The truth is, businesses built that too. How are you helping your case with this?

    And now they are screaming that we should be subsidizing them to build their warehouses to store their foreign-made crap that we used to make, even though they are siphoning all the money out of our pockets. Grow up and stop whining about rich people having to pay their utility bills.

    Obama definitely is letting his true colors show. He literally despises business.

    They were required to pay taxes and they are screaming like little babies about it. When they are not required to pay for it, they expect working people to subsidize the roads for them to open up a new Maomart distibutiuon center on top of our water suplies.

    Really, give us some examples? You are just pissed off because the skin has been peeled back on this socialist. You have never owned a business and haven't a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing clue what it takes to plan, execute, and succeed in business. I started owned and operated my business for 40 years without so much as an ounce of help from the government, which I wouldn't take in the first place. If anything, government impedes business, that's why businesses are moving to the friendly states.

    End thread.

    Any way you look at it, Obama's comments were nonsensical. If a person is successful, or comes from a successful family and continues that legacy, then yes, they're far more responsible for our systems and infrastructure than anyone else. Rather than fomenting resentment towards the wealthy and successful, we should be appreciative that we have such resources via the taxes they pay.

    20 years from now people will be asking the question: How did Obama lose his re-election bid and will point to this nonsensical remark.

    Arguing from your false assumptions about me.

    Now tell us how government interefred with your business without cause.

    Be specific. Don't just shriek about "burdensome regulations." What regulations were burdensome?

    Defend what? R-money's ad is deliberately misleading. He probably has a few Fox News editors working for his campaign...

    What Mitt's campaign ad says Obama said:

    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 ‘cause 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. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.​

    What President Obama actually said:

    Let me tell you something. There are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. 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.​

    It's OK, though, we don't expect right-wingers to question their sources of information.

    Let me put yout post in context, can I? Let's see now....

    That is a lie. I get a lot of tax breaks, and want more. Screw me. I need to pay the full freight. I never do.

    You know what, leftysergeant? (*)(*)(*)(*) (*)(*)(*)(*). (*)(*)(*)(*) all the *******s who think I get more tax breaks than they do. (*)(*)(*)(*), (*)(*)(*)(*), (*)(*)(*)(*) all you guys on the left who think I did not get there on my own, and tell me, I did not build my business on my own. I sure did. And don't tell me about infrastructure that was there to help me build and run my business - very same infrastructure is available to each and every welfare recepient. It's called a level playing field, and all Americans start on it. Unless you're stupid, lazy or happy with the welfare check.

    (*)(*)(*)(*), (*)(*)(*)(*). Pisses me off.

    And to your hackish attempt to misrepresent what was actually said:

    "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."

    Did those businesses build the roads, bridges and other infrastructure that they used to thrive on?

    what a well done video. The message is clear and you don't even realize it's over a minute long because it captivates you to want to hear the story.

    From several small businesses in rural America who are converting their 8-12 vehicle fleet from GM to Ford, to the businessman I know who is relocating his company out of NY NY

    the stories are everywhere. Americans have awoken and Obama shall hear us in November.
