President Obama's message to entrepreneurs that "you didn't build that" prompted one Georgia business owner to respond with a not-so-subtle retort.
"I built this business without gov't help. Obama can Kiss my ass," reads the sign outside Gaster Lumber & Hardware in Savannah, Ga. Owner Ray Gaster posted that and two similar ones at all three of his company's locations in response to Obama's comments during a speech to supporters in Virignia, which struck a nerve with small business owners around the nation.

Idiots is correct.
More likely the 4x4 pressure treated in his sign were probably grown in the state of Ga on a tree farm owned by Georgia Pacific, Canfor, Gilman, or any one of dozens of private companies growning and processing southern yellow pine.

Georgia Pacific hasn’t owned any trees for about 10 years or so, we sold all of the acreage to Plum Creek.

The sad reality is government, at virtually every level, is the greatest impediment to starting and building a succesful business.
Even if Obama’s assertion were true, it completely ignores the obstacles government (and, often, the community at large) puts in the way of success.

I stand corrected.
Plum Creek bought the timber. Koch bought the mills. Blue Linx got the distribution centers.

There were a whole lot of details in between, but that is a fair summary...

Henry Ford built it.
He built 1.1/5 million cars before there were any roads.
Using Obama Logic, Henry Ford Built the USA
And Obama has still done diddly squat but rob us all.

If Obama was 100% constipated and had to carve a prying stick to survive a gastro intestinal catastrophy resulting in death, he “ couldn’t build ( even) that!”
KUDOS to Gaster!
