On the trail, Obama is calling for more taxpayer investment in infrastructure and other projects - investments he was touting when he uttered the phrase "you didn't build that" - a line Republicans chopped up and turned into a rallying cry. Several of the small business owners tapped by the Obama campaign say their businesses survived the recession thanks to government projects.
"I am a product of all the great opportunities our country gives its citizens. I grew up with middle-class values, where I went to public school. I went to college at a public university, where I received a Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship," Angie Morgan, a co-founder of the Leadstar company says in a release sent by the Obama campaign to Virginia news outlets. "Upon graduation, I served my country as a Marine. Today I am a military wife and a small business owner that employs military veterans. I believe that President Obama's leadership and vision create paths for the American Dream to be possible."

If all it takes for success is to go to public schools and use public roads, than why isn't everyone a successful entrepreneur -- how come we have half the country on welfare?!

“She sounds like one sick puppy.”
I’m surprised she didn’t say, “Long live the Revolution of 2008, and long live our glorious Comrade Chairman Obama!!!” /s;)

Well sounds like this woman is a recipient of one of OHoles Tax incentives to hire Vets so the government built her business it seems or should I say the tax paying slaves. I guess the next ad will be a minority owned business touting OHoles policies.

Thanks for the link to Leadstar:

I bet they “consult” to the Dems...
They they plan some of those million dollar seminars for the GAO, I wonder... those with the $50,000 drumsticks...

They have “spirited and festive” holiday parties for team building? That’s weird. No red, white and blue anywhere on the website. I can see why Angie Loves Barry.

Awesome. Just when the furor over this epic gaffe begins to die down, this clueless jackass doubles down.
If he isn’t unseated this November, I truly believe this country’s electorate may be lost.

I can just picture this scenario. 0bama’s goons show up at your place of business Chicago-style and make the case about how your business would be better off with their help.

Wow - take Angie and Courtney's challenging multiple-choice Leadership Quiz --
http://www.leadstar.us/news/quiz/ I wonder how BO would answer this one:
What's typically your first reaction when a problem arises?
A) I get nervous and concerned and then I clam up, hoping no one blames me.
B) I accept responsibility for my role in the problem and work to try to resolve the issue.
C) I avoid blame and work hard to pin the problem on someone else.

Here are 56 reasons why Barack Obama is a lying, lawbreaking, warmongering, corrupt cronyist, who loves corporate lobbyists and Wall St., and who has no respect for the Constitution, limited government, rule of law, individual freedom, civil liberties, the taxpayers, or sick people who have prescriptions for medical marijuana
