“And if you don’t like folks talking about you, you probably shouldn’t run for president. The one thing I do have no patience for is this argument that somehow what I’m criticizing is success… I want to promote success," Obama said.

Bunk.

Nothing was taken out of context, he meant exactly what he said.

In the mind of a socialist no one is more important than anyone else. Everyone is equal and just as important as the next person. Everything is a collective effort.

The guy sweeping the floor and keeping the place clean, is just as important as the CEO that keeps the place running.

What he's laying the groundwork for is limiting the income of the top earners in a company to X times the amount of the lowest earners.

This has been a wet dream of the left for as long as I can remember, and it is a common theme of the OWS crowd. In short, they got the minimum wage, now they want a maximum wage.

Then maybe he should have calibrated his words better. He said what he said and now he has to live with it.

WTF!? HE screws up and it’s OUR fault??!!

Of course! He didn't screw up the economy on his own ... someone else did that for him.

Oh, what .... he has been claiming that all along, hasn't he?

Right.

In my heart, I blame the MSM and Liberals who blindly accept medicocrity in the character and conduct of their nominees.

A whole nation sat still for ‘what the definition of IS, is’...so where did we think the diminished expectations and the headlong spiral down to childish and gullible leadership would end?

Can you just imagine the reaction that George Bush would’ve received if he said, “I have no patience for this continued questioning about my Global War on Terror strategy...”

This remark has become Obama’s “tar baby”. The more he struggles the deeper he gets drawn in to it.

In the past he could always extricate himself by proclaiming “I’m the Messiah and you’re a racist!” But Romney is not taking the bait. He does not appear to know any other way of getting out of a mess.

His speech patterns are odd to say the least.
He is no public speaker in my opinion.
One thing I would like some feedback on is Bambi's use of the word “folks” in his speeches. I know it is his attempt to appeal to the “common” man but he uses it in seemingly inappropriate junctures. I mean when he is trying to be serious or gets worked up ,”wee-wee-d” up, he reverts to this use of “folks”. It just strikes me as odd the times he chooses to use the word.

if you people don’t stop talking bad about mac daddy he is going to throw a hissy fit.

Remember he is “The One” and is never to be questioned about anything he does or says.

But then again those of us with an IQ above that of a rock already know that what he does is ruining America and what he says is nothing but lies.

By definition it was taken out of context. The “you didn’t do that” out of context implies that he was saying that the businessman did not build his business, but the “that” was the roads. But I’m just speaking technically, because the overall message was that the government and “other people’s taxes” were necessary for the businessman to build his business.

It is also baloney. He used the same infrastructure everyone else did. He just used it more wisely. And because he was successful, he paid more for it as well.

And this has always been true. I like to post a picture of a cattle drive from the 1800’s. There were no roads. They drove the cattle through untamed territory. They sometimes took amazing risk. But when they got to their distination, what infrastructure WAS there was almost ALL private. e.g. the Railroads.

And here is the zinger: Anyone “could have” built a ranch, raised cattle, negotiated sales prices and driven the cattle to market, but those who took the risk are the ones who DID IT. And they were rewarded for it.

If others think other people’s businesses are so financially rewarding, they can take the risk and do it themselves, using the infrastructure they are already paying for. So, what are they waiting for? I’ve got all day. I’m waiting...

Then, Baraq, you probably shouldn't have criticized success.
