We do not believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country.

I would not have said it that way. If you take "entitled" to mean authorized, empowered, enabled, permitted, or deserving, that statement means that he does not want anybody to succeed. Hmmmm.....

“...We do not believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country...”

My answer to him: What’s this “we” sh*t, Buckwheat?

If you work your butt off, put the sweat, time, hours, and labor into something, and it finally pays off, you ARE entitled to the success and better life it brings you.

And sometimes, even though you DO all those things, it doesn’t happen. That’s just the chance “we” take here. Part of being American, and living in a land where you DO get a shot at something better, to get a little bit of something better - but no guarantee of it.

It’s the chance to be in the chase...but no guarantee of catching the rabbit. THAT’S what we all get - a chance. What we do with it, however, is what determines the outcome.

Some folks don’t ever want to be in the chase - they want it handed to them, at the expense of those who worked for it. That’s HIS mentality, and the mentality of those that vote for him.

Once again, it shows how disconnected from the reality of American life, of BEING an American, that this affirmative action hire really is.

RE :”We don’t believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country,” said Obama. “But we do believe in opportunity. We believe in a country where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded, and everybody is getting a fair shot and everybody is doing their fair share and everybody is playing by the same rules”

He is mixing conservative terms mixed with collectivist terms. He has been doing that for a while and Dems think it's brilliant.
But Romney is playing a similar game driving Dems nuts by reframing issues in a populist way.

“Trickle Down government” is really good.

” I am not going to cut the taxes of the rich, I am worried about the middle class and will cut their taxes”

” I am going to replace O-care with something better, and it will protect those with pre-existing conditions”

“I am not proposing cutting education funding, just Big Bird”
Fun watching Dems fuss about big bird.

“tax cuts for shipping jobs overseas? I have no idea what you are talking about”

Here is what loser smells like :
