Obama Calls on Nation to ‘Invent Stuff’ ("We Need to Build Stuff and Invent Stuff”)
The Blaze ^ | January 22, 2011 | Jonathon M. Seidl

Posted on 01/22/2011 9:33:22 AM PST by RobinMasters

As the president gears up for the 2012 campaign, he may need to brush up on his stump speeches. Sure, he’s canned the teleprompters recently, but telling America we need to “build stuff and invent stuff” isn’t really the epitome of eloquence:

That means more young people become scientists and engineers instead of lawyers and community organizers. Works for me!!!

I'm gonna invent this round thing...I'm gonna call it a Hula Hoop.

After that, my next invention will be a Pet Rock...in Honor of our Rock headed president.

Why would I build or invent anything in Obama’s America.

If I invent something great that everyone wants, needs and buys Obama’s government will tax me to oblivion and vilify me in his stump speeches.

If I become wealthy through the income earned from my efforts to invent and build when I die Obama’s government will steal the wealth I leave my children with a death tax.

In Obama’s America there is no incentive to create.

Why go to all the trouble of inventing the light bulb when the statists will just ban it anyway?

We need to rid ourselves of this useless tool in 2012 if not before.

John F. Kenney: "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth."

Barack H. 0bama: "We need to build stuff and invent stuff."

C’mon. Give the guy a break.

He is a community organizer who is used to whipping up rather dumb and lazy entitlement types. His rhetoric is perfect for his base.

Statement: "Obama Calls on Nation to ‘Invent Stuff’ ("We Need to Build Stuff and Invent Stuff”)"

Response: This statement reflects this poor creatures "thoughts" based upon his life experience. His entire life is grounded upon the effortless and magic appearance of good things, money came in the mail, an education was provided without effort and jobs came without his demonstration of capacity. Thus, he thinks by saying so "stuff" will magically appear. God Help us!

The language is important beyond its mere inelegance because it reveals a profound conceit: that the commander of a command economy can command inventions.

The problem is that one can no more suspend the law of supply and demand than he can repeal the law of gravity. Great economic societies are built from the bottom up, not top-down. They are built painful step by painful step in which gratification is postponed and capital is accumulated. The system that produces that excess capital is the golden goose that ultimately delivers inventions.

Obama is an exponent of a Marxist philosophy which seizes the golden goose by the neck and attempts to ring Golden egg after egg out of the poor fowl. He thinks the supply of golden eggs is infinite and that it is not necessary to practice husbandry of such a valuable resource. He believes he can command its behavior by exercise of his own will. The ultimate practitioner of this economic theory was either Hitler, or Stalin, or Mao.

“We Need to Build Stuff and Invent Stuff”

Just don’t make any profit while at it!!
Or use too much energy!
Oh, and don’t forget to file 1099 forms every time you buy anything.
Oh, and make sure you buy health care for every one that works for you.
Oh, I almost forgot, those people have to belong to a union.

OK - now go ahead and build stuff.

He also said something to the dictator about China needing to buy more “STUFF’ didn’t he?

Well there are letters in that word that apply here: STFU

Barry, for two years (not counting the campaign time) you’ve been telling us the stuff we need to make is for green, alternative energy creation and use. Windmills, grid enhancements, solar... and that government support of these green efforts (i.e., enabling them to be produced although they are uneconomic) is THE route to increased employment and economic success. It’s hard to believe that you are now switching over to “stuff” exports as the solution to our economic problems.

Similarly, how can we believe anything about regulation reduction while you have a cabinet full of ex- and near- communists; a coterie of far-left advisers, and a closet full of regulatory czars?

Fortunately for you, the memory of the MSM, and of enough soft-minded voters, is short.
