BRIT HUME: It is fair to say that we know more tonight than we ever have about the president's view of business and the economy. His assertion over the weekend that, 'If you got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen' explains nearly everything. He wasn't talking about God, he was talking about government.
Here is a man that believes not just that the government provided framework of roads, bridges, defense and law enforcement helps the private sector. He believes these things are are the nerve center, the driving force. More important than any individual, talent, enterprise or initiative. As he put it: 'There are a lot of smart people out.' As for diligence: 'There are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.' Success? 'You didn't get there on your own.'
This is a view that successful businessmen, women are merely the ones who did better at taking advantage of the benefits that government has bestowed. Therefore, he thinks they should be glad to pay an even greater share of federal taxes than they do. He (Obama) calls that, 'giving back,' as if the government conferred all that they have and they shouldn't mind returning a bit more of it where it came from.
This explains why so much stimulus money was spent to protect government and why his legislation on healthcare and financial reform involved extending the reach and power of, you guessed it, government.

“Perhaps you should seriously consider going
back to DU and the Democrats and your home with Myth.”
you’ve got to be delusional. it’s you, not me, who is dragging up every criticism you can find about Romney. it’s you who appears ready to fling whatever dirt you can find at the Republican candidate.
i’m the one who will support the Republican nominee, even tho he is a mormon, but not you and others here on FR who cannot stand the notion that a mormon might be the alternate to BO; tho, you pretend to be a Christian of some unknown denomination who sits in judgment on the Christianity of others.
you truly would prefer that BO be re-elected, a man who by his deeds has demonstrated over and over again his distaste for the America i love. but that is less important to you than Romney’s religion.
Gingrich was my first choice for the GOP candidate this year, but he will not be our party’s nominee: mitt will be, and i will support him. Gingrich would have taken the battle on with BO’s Chicago mob with relish and flair.
God save America from 4 more years of BO.
YOU support Mitt Romney's love of TARP; consistent with
you being from the DNC and DU.
YOU support Mitt Romney's love of TAXES; consistent with
you being from the DNC and DU.
YOU support Mitt Romney's RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE; consistent with
you being from the DNC and DU.
YOU support Mitt Romney's support by Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Soros; consistent with
you being from the DNC and DU.
YOU support Mitt Romney's support by the MSM; consistent with
you being from the DNC and DU.
Try taking a CONSERVATIVE STAND, if you can. P
Pretty much...
Thank you both for the examples given. ctdonath2 @ #70.
It added value to the discussion.
Look to China for an example of the Obama plan... all those vacant cities, empty streets just waiting for something “good” to happen. Their ruling elite, through a Fascist/ Communist/Mafia hybrid government, push this agenda for personal gain. A “poster child” for wanna-be diktats.
