So, I get it. Obama is right. The government IS responsible for my success. Why didn’t I see it all along? I am totally incapable of doing anything good if it wasn’t for the government. Man, how could I be sooo stupid? Doh!
But, wouldn’t that also mean that the government is responsible for my failure as well? I mean if they get to take credit for my success, then they are to blame for my failure…right? So, that means the government is responsible for the following:
*8.2% unemployment – over 8% since Obama has been in office *Workforce that has shrunk by over 7 million workers since Obama has been in office *Unemployment benefits that have been extended to 99 weeks *20 additional taxes that will kick in with the full implementation of Obamacare *Income inequality – since they are the ones who made some businesses more successful than others *Housing foreclosures *Environmental disasters – I mean you can’t blame BP since it is the government that made BP successful in the first place

It’s spelled “D’oh,” stupid.
Hmmm...the spelling Nazis are out early today.
I have always thought that when you take Obama away from his script or teleprompter he shows that he isn’t very quick on his feet. I think Romney could kill him in the debates depending on the rules.
OMG!!!
1. I shall not get born.
2. I shall not grow up.
3. I shall not finish high school..
4. I shall not go to college.
5. I shall not have plans to start a business.
6. I shall not build that business.
7. I shall not hire and pay hundreds of people.
8. I shall not be CEO of the company.
9. I shall not enjoy my success.
10. I shall NOT thank the Gov. for taxing what they did not earn.
The short answer is yes.
The long answer is: If the government deliberately cultivates a nation of spineless, sniveling and spoiled wastrels, then the government must also take responsibility and ‘credit’ for the wholly undifferentiated mass of losers who populate America.
That is NOT the road to security, stability, excellence, abundance or national integrity!
That was my thought exactly. Free-wheeling thought is got be beyond Obama.
Well said.
But what you’re advocating is personal responsibility — something that most people are not intent on taking on for themselves.
“Spellin Nazis!” Come on Art, that was a good response. You fail to see the substance that was added.
Obama has to figure out how to get out of debating Romney.
Yep — that’s why we need to have a “West-Wing” style debate. But if Obama goes for that; then everyone would see how idiotic he really is.
You realize, of course, that my comment was addressed to the item’s author, not you, the poster.
