“somebody invested in roads and bridges...”

OMG(osh)!!! What an idiot!!! It was the tax payer dollars from the people who owned business and their employees that enabled the gov’t to pay for the roads and bridges to be built!! Not to mention that only 50% were paying taxes- the rest were freeloading non tax payers. This man is a moron without a logical thought in his head. Frightening!! (sorry for the rant - I had to - this is so egregious it makes me sick)

Obama has made an accidental admission with this latest pronouncement. Obama is admitting that he cannot take personal credit for the creation of any jobs. His statement requires recognition of the others whose contributions lead more directly to whatever job creation he has claimed.

So, when a business fails, is that government’s fault too?

If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.

Translation: That's a nice little business you've got there......be a shame if anything happened to it.

It makes sense.

The guy thinks creating imaginary jobs is the same thing as creating jobs that actually exist.

Get this. Granny Warren was asked a question about the high cost of a college education on a live chat on Friday. Her answer was the class schedule at a local community college.

...tax payer dollars ...

I wish everyone woul stop using this reference. This money stops belonging to the 'taxpayer' after the Central Soialist Government mugs us each April and extorts a large portion of what WE have earned in order to feed their voracious, swinish appetites!

And another DAMNED thing: now the Republicrat governors are all crowing about the windfall they'll receive from taxing internet purchases. They figure that they'll have enough loot from this sales tax to prop up their rapidly bankrupting states.

This is bi-partisanship at it's most evil. The rotten Republicrats in Congress have reached across the aisle to 'grope' their opposite numbers in order to allow this flood of largesse to flow down the poopchute into the state coffers.

These rats make me sick, especially when we consider that most physicians make less per annum than do these weasels!

Obozo's right. Our form of government is no longer functional as today's DC resembles 1936 Madrid. They've caused the right wing in this nation to feel hopeless. A war against government in this nation will make Greece appear as a Sunday school picnic.

Many of these weasels will disappear.

To be governed by an utter asshat, communist, muslim hating Christian is just too damned much! Everything this creature does is anti-American and an unforgiveable insult!

Commrade Zero has moved his attacks from the wealthy to the middle-class small business owner and their families.

“Everything you have is mine,” he told them this weekend.

“If you're not a dependent on the state, I'm coming after you.”

This evil man is a tyrant and a menace. We'll see how many Americans have gotten the message and are paying attention.

The bottom line is the bs Sinfrastructure thing is a clever way of redistribution of wealth and REPARATIONS. Every state mandates the contracts for these things go to women and minority owned companies.

“Seems politicians are afraid of the backlash if they cut the freebies, but the blind fools don’t see the “front lash” of the demise of Democracy by letting it continue.”

Excellent point. The GOP in DC has NO clue how We the People think. The points you make are spot on!

I hope Mitt has his team out interviewing small business people now. They should run a new commercial every day showing just one business man and how he built his business from the ground up.

There is no possibility of changing their minds, mostly because of their own egos.

Yes, this is why you cannot even begin to have a reasonable debate with these people. We're a hair's breadth away from a descent into violence and savagery that will take everyone by surprise. Why would this be the case? Because those with the leftist worldview have invested their entire existence in what amounts to a fundamentally insane and downright evil premise: that human beings are things, animals or machines and therefore you have no right to your own life. And that's precisely the premise implicit in what that communist bastard 0bama said.

Chantal Delsol, in her landmark Unlearned Lessons of the Twentieth Century offers an excellent perspective on refusal of the Left to face reality:

Vital resistance and resentment are the two main responses to the events of 1989 (she refers here to the collapse of the old Soviet Union - WD). Vital resistance: the mind realizes its mistake - it admits, for example, that nationalization of the means of production does not produce a happy society, but rather laziness and constant shortages; it refuses, however, to let go of the idea because of its passionate attachment to it. Existence - adventures, friendships, successes - is nourished and permeated by this belief to such an extent that the belief becomes an identity; the individual cannot renounce it without committing a kind of symbolic suicide. No one can admit... that his existence reflects the echo of a failure.
In other words, no one wants to admit that the premises upon which one has constructed their entire raison d’être amount to an empty, shrieking fraud. But it's a lesson that will go unlearned by most of them until it is far, far too late.

If the Romney team doesn’t make a campaign commercial using this immediately, they are incompetent. This makes even non-business owners’ skin crawl. Major gaffe.
