The Community Organizer in Chief subscribes to the notion that it takes a village to raise a business. Solyndra is a product of his it takes a village mindset.
If it’s that easy , why doesn’t someone do it for me.
I woudn’t mind a nice business given to me.
The man has never made a payroll and has no clue to the difference between a profit and loss statement and a balance sheet. If he did he wouldn't make such screamingly outrageous statements.
From the [other] article:
Ignorant idiot.
Beyond the ignorance of what Obama said about business lurks something more sinister; resentment. He doesn’t understand cause and effect and I suspect is upset businesses haven’t magically eradicated the recession so he can get reelected. Never mind that his policies are hostile to business. To him it is the responsibility of businesses to hire people, not to make a profit.
This is the same claptrap espoused by Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden. They have no clue about the role of free markets and entrepreneurs.
Funny, I did not see anyone else working along side me from 7 a.m. until after midnight for a couple hundreds bucks a month. In fact, I think everyone else worked regular hours and was paid a decent salary. Actually, seems to m they actually got a couple days off a week while I worked every waking hour seven days a week.
I also don't seem to remember anyone else putting their home on the line to fund the business the first few years.
I'm going to have to talk to Mr. Obama and see just who he is referring to that made my business happen. He must be referring to those old friends of mine, Mr. Delayed Gratification and Mr. Risk.
To apply this concept to another field of endeavor, Obama should know that he didn’t get elected president because he’s the smartest man in the room, the most brilliant mind ever to run for political office, or the man with the ultimate solutions to our nation’s problems.
Rumor has it that he does think he’s the smartest most brilliant man ever. I wonder if he applies this concept to the political world.
Probably didn’t have a class of Business 101 in Community Organizer school. I assume that the Indian Princess and Food Stamp President never considered that those business people also paid taxes that built the roads, paid the government (DARPA) to invent the Internet (sorry Al baby), etc. Communists always ignore inconvenient facts.
I’m glad someone else has been supporting my wife and kids for all these years ;)
Spoken like a person who never ran so much as a lemonade stand, and never knew anyone and does not associate with anyone who did. Government puts up infinitely more obstacles to the creation of a business by regulation, interference, and the injection of its own outside agendas, than it builds bridges or roads.
Spoken like a man who has never created a thing in his life. A man who has never known the fear of standing before a blank page. An empty factory. Or a new store. Of risking his money and his reputation to build a business where nothing existed before. A parasite who has lived off the fat of this land created by his bettors. A despicable and contemptible piece of human trash.
Did this stupid SOB ever hear of “risk and reward.†Entrepreneurs risk everything. Some of them succeed, others fail. No part of the government has anything to do with taking a risk.
“If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
Thus, you should not be surprised or resist if the government asks you to return it to its “rightful owners” sometime after the next election - a la 1917.
Tell that to my brother in law. He went to school, got his masters, and got a nice job paying well. Then he desides he wants to go into a concrete staining business all on his own. He leaves the corporate world and he and my sister started with hardly anything and busted their butt every day working together to make it happen all on there own. Now she no longer works with him doing the physical work because he has a team. He’s busy every week doing huge jobs all over the place.
I’m sure there millions of stories like my brother in laws. and for Obama to put every one of them down is disgraceful!
I don’t even know what he means by this inane statement. If it wasn’t for those who started businesses, then they (the government) would not exist. If it wasn’t for the initiative, ingenuity and productivity of entrepreneurs, this jerk would not be able to collect taxes and play golf.
Everything in this country was built on the blood, sweat and tears of businesses, large and small, that commies like O then proceed to tax, waste that money on all sorts of crap, and then proceed to tell us that they were the secret of our success? That is terminal stupidity at best. Without business there will not be taxes of any kind, and the bloated monster we call government would not be able to function like the giant parasite it is. It would simply cease to exist.
Government could not have paid for any of the infrastructure that O and the other commies now so proudly proclaim as the “governments”. It’s not yours, you ignorant buffoon, it is the property of the people of the United States who worked for it, and paid for it, and built it, in the first place. And we could have done it at half the price and twice as well if we didn’t have to carry the entire monstrous blood-sucking bureaucracy along with it.
Idiot.
Back at Obastard... Obama, if you got some money to spend, you didn’t earn it, you stole it...
If Obama ran a business, it would fail before the first year was past. He has no clue how to make money. He's an OPM addict. He live off Other People's Money. That's what he has done his whole life. Anyone who votes for this clown must be an OPM addict.
