The basic message here is that the President just wants to help. Times are tough and employers are having a hard time creating jobs. (::: cough ::: regulations ::: cough :::) But if you happen to be a business owner, the President wishes you the best. His help and good wishes, however, come with one small caveat… just remember that you didn’t build that business, so don’t get too cocky.
OBAMA
There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.

Barry and the Progessives want to morph the promise of the American Dream into the American Nightmare, i.e. equality of outcome. This is code for redistribution of wealth.
You too!
The thing is I STILL don’t know if he will truly grasp the outrage this kind of remark engenders- someone will have to explain it to him and even then- he simply is incapable of understanding what it means to be an INDIVIDUAL in America or what it means to have an idea and turn it into something real- a business.

What about the businesses who did have to build their own roads, extend the water, sewer, power, phone to their project sites? Not to mention pay all of the permit costs!
I do think that if he looked at industrial age of America those people, Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegy all pretty much did it themselves. They had the vision and resources to do it. But because they didn’t drive nails, rivets or work the line they wouldn’t and shouldn’t get any return on their genius and investment!

Those evil wealthy business men you love to bash, Barry, each give more back to the nation and their communities than your entire Administration and the entire Democrat Congressional Committee combined.
The hole wants to ‘take it back’ by force with his newly hired 16.5 k IRS agents equipped with an arsenal of new weapons, arcane and unknowable administrative rules, and new ways to violate the 4th amendment.
FUBO!
He has an intuitive grasp of the obvious.
Any business owner who gives this Communist a dime of campaign funds is a self-loathing imbecile who does not merit my business. If he didn’t build it, he doesn’t deserve my money.
Good point. We should pay attention to 0’s donor list. Interesting reading - especially since a lot has been coming out about how he has been rewarding his supporters.
The squeeking wheel gets the oil...Stand up and squeeeeek. That’s how liberals get in control. DO not give them the control.
A public funded library should not show any sign of being on one side or the other. You don’t even need to state you opinion, just threaten to take them to court, if you don’t see a change.....No BIAS in the local publicly funded library!
This guy is amazing! He doesn’t “get it” on so many levels! “If you built a business, well you didn’t do it all, someone built a road you needed.” Well, duh. Building roads and bridges and providing security through armed forces are legitimate constitutional duties of government. Exactly what conservatives say. You do your job, stay out of ours. Hold down the regulations and don’t tell us what to do. And don’t spend our money on wasteful government programs, i.e, welfare, obamacare, NPR, foreign aid, and on and on.
An amazing quote from a guy who’s only accomplishment is to win elections by tearing down the opposition. Jack Ryan, Hillary, McCain and now Romney. Never runs on his accomplishments (none) only on vague stuff like hope and change. I am baffled that anyone plans to vote for him.
I have a question. When Reagan ran again, in 84, a lot of people voted for him for the first time, because of his record. Is there anyone in America who is saying to themselves, “I didn’t vote for Obama in 08, but now that I’ve seen him operate and do the great job he has done, I’ve decided to vote for him this time?”
Who could make a decision like that?

They all learn this carp at the ivy league schools..
Rush is going to have a field day with this one. So nice to see you and the gang, Mom! :)
Why do all feminists have scary clenched teeth?
From biting back their hate.
You hear what comes out of their mouths. Imagine what their clenched teeth are keeping in.
