Obama Built The Trouble He's In
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 07/25/2012 | IBD Staff

Election 2012: For a campaign that claims not to be worried about the fallout from President Obama's "you didn't build that" bomb, they sure are spending a lot of time and money hopelessly trying to do damage control on it.

On Wednesday, Obama's top strategist, David Axelrod, dismissed the entire episode. "I've concluded that it's not all that impactful," he told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Oh really? [snip] Here's a quick review of what the campaign has done to tamp down this "unimportant" story:

The problem with The Great Redistributor is his history. He grew up with a socialist mindset, he campaigned on it, and he certainly hasn’t dispelled any notions that he’s not a socialist with his anti-business actions since taking the presidency. In fact, those words he actually said sound exactly something he would say.

Obama Built The Trouble He's In

Trouble? What trouble? I don't see no stinking trouble!

BTW, nobody does anything alone. Obama hasn't done anything on his own. Government does NOTHING on its own. Again, Obama has opened wide the door to the REAL point which is not being made (which is one reason why he's really not in too much trouble).

The REAL POINT here is in a free country with a free-market economy, others help you VOLUNTARILY because of mutual benefit, whereas under Obama's socialism and Obamacare, others are FORCED and COERCED to contribute UNDER CRIMINAL PENALTIES.

Will someone please REPEAT THAT POINT loud and clear a few hundred times over all the available loudspeakers? Then maybe there might be some trouble for Obama.

Thank you.

Axelrod wishes it wasn’t a big deal. He hopes their lapdogs at the MSM help him out (again) by ignoring and downplaying it. We won’t forget. A lot more Americans woke up and saw hussein’s true commie colors.

I bet Axlerod and the rest of his handlers are trying to cajol the Teleprompters to come back from whatever vacation they went on.

You could probably see the horror on their faces when B. Hussein told them he didn't need those anymore- he'd use notes....

Remember, he got caught with his redistribution of wealth plan when he talked to Joe the Plumber and it was a firestorm for a few days and then the Media buried it. This is bigger, I hope it outlasts the Media.

Maybe the teleprompters could be hacked like those road signs that displayed “impeach obama”?

If Obama was talking about Roads and Bridges here, he should have said 'you didn't build THOSE' plural, instead of that (which is singular).

And I guarantee you that if a Republican had said it they would be screaming the same thing I'm saying about it.

Can we finally say "BIASED" everybody!

You didn’t build that.

Spread the wealth around.

The private sector is doing fine.

We tried our plan and it worked.

A new ad running in the Reno area shows Obama trying to look like a warm & fuzzy person who is trying to tell me that ‘his words were taken out of context’ & that he supports small business in the USA.

BS

I have heard a number of reporting locations playing his speech—& it sure didn’t sound like it was ‘sliced & diced’ as Obama claims in this ad.
