One month to the day after his infamous ‘you didn’t build that’ speech, President Obama’s description of wealthy people did not include “smart” or “hardworking,” as he instead ascribed their success to good luck.
“If you’re lucky enough, and fortunate enough, and been blessed enough to be in the other two percent, the top two percent, you still get a tax cut for your first $250,000 of income,” Obama said during a campaign stop in Council Bluffs, Iowa. “All we’re saying is after that, maybe you can do a little bit more to help pay down this deficit and invest in things like education that help our economy grow.”
Obama avoided the cringe-inducing soundbite, but his remarks echoed the sense of his “you didn’t build that” speech in Virginia.

The adjectives he chooses to describe people who’ve had success are revealing and mindblowing.
Lucky?
Fortunate?
How about “diligent”? How about “driven”?
If anyone is “lucky” to be where they are, it’s Obama.
Luck is often overlooked or mistaken because it comes dressed up as hard work.
All anyone ever sees is the end result - the Olympic swimmer breaking the world record. The guy who owns a chain of dry cleaners driving his Maserati. Some people (we call them liberals) get jealous of that success.
What conservatives understand is that behind the world record and behind that Maserati are HOURS AND HOURS of backbreaking work. Getting up early, working ALL DAY EVERY DAY until late for YEARS.
In this way, liberals are like children. They need to be taught that true success cannot be handed to you. It can ONLY be earned.
Mostly it's deferred consumption. He has a Maserati now, but he drove a couple old buicks into the ground all his life before that.
Obama didn’t earn his money. He got where he was by affirmative action or political correctness. Harvard Law Review without publishing an article. He IS lucky.
The Gift That Keeps Giving.
Let loose the campaign cash for lots of ads is set to roll with the RNC in the next two weeks. Isn’t that when Romney/Ryan will be eligible for much more of the war chest?
Can’t wait for some great ads using his own words against him.
And I hope & pray after yesterday the Secret Service steps up their protection of Paul Ryan and throws the book at those two loons that rushed the stage.
Nought-bama is engaging in the traditional liberal practice of projecting. He knows his own success is not his doing, so he’s projecting that onto all successful people.

- Obama could have simply taken tests with a MENSA certified shrink without releasing his sealed high school, college, and law school records and/or test results; but if Obama did not score the minimum - MENSA would have had the test results.
Mensa stopped accepting SAT test results when the SAT tests and the SAT test results started being “race-normed”, “race-rigged” and “PC-adjusted” - Obama being (allegedly) born in 1961 would have been required to take tests administered by a MENSA approved psychiatrist.
MENSA also used to accept US Military IQ test results - but Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama Junior never served in the military.
- Bill and Hillary Clinton attempted to intimidate MENSA into giving them membership - but MENSA told then they would be required to take tests administered by a MENSA approved psychiatrist - that ended the bullshirt.
Obama - as you likely know - continues to lie and insist that he was a “law professor” in Chicago - the university there says he was merely an temporary assistant lecturer - he was never a professor.
Lying and bullshirting has worked for Obama’s whole life - as it still works with the support of the left-wing media creeps and lying “historians”
One thing you can find at a MENSA is an abundance of professional women looking for an intelligent and desirable DNA donor. Your phone will also suddenly start ringing much more.
If you look through the criminal records of sucessful prison escapees you will also find some fairly high-IQ men.
Albert Einstein never took an IQ test - but on the internet you will see sites that rate him anywhere from 150-185.
Marilyn Mansfield had a very high IQ - so does actor James Woods.
A score of 99% on a mental maturity test taken in the mid 50s will corrolate with an IQ of 186.
My estimate is that both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have IQs at least in the high 150s or mid-160s.
Romney got both his business and law degree at the same time - and Ryan is a mathematics machine.
Benchsitter Barry was known in hs for stomping off the basketball court in an angry snit in practice - according to those on the team that actually played, scored, and did not “seal” their records.
If you want a good new employee you do not have to always hire a genius. Just find someone with about a 110-118 IQ who will do what you want properly and immediately without questioning you. The same applies to young military recruits.
Those that will not do that should not finish their first hour on the job.
Obama would not qualify under any circumstances.

“...we won’t recognized America after another 4 years of Obama...”
I hardly recognize much of it now, at 62, and in 4yrs, it’ll be totally gone and completely unrecoverable.
I think another key is, besides hard work, is getting the money you earned to work for you. Everybody who puts aside enough to make a little investment, is on their way to a better life, even the ditch digger. Most of us max out at a modest income, based merely on what the work of our hands will earn. But we can get our money to work for us.
That’s where the low interest rates for savings, cds, etc., really concern me. It’s hard for the little savers to get going these days. No wonder so many are looking to government to pay for things.
Exactly my point. No one knows about those years and the problems exist because of the liberals do not understand what it takes to get to that Maserati turning into straight out jealousy.
It’s not good to be jealous. Jealousy becomes a serious problem when the liberals try (and many times succeed) to acquire the object of their jealousy through force of government rather than putting in the effort to earn it themselves.
“All we’re saying is after that, maybe you can do a little bit more to help pay down this deficit and invest in things like education that help our economy grow.”
Every time this asshat opens his fat, useless mouth the sheer epicness of his stupidity slightly dulls the Platonic ideal of Pure and Beautiful Logic.
This is no mistake. Obama is on message. Apparently he has calculated that the resentment and class warfare he has seeded for the last four years appeals to a majority of voters.
My greatest fear is that he is correct and we have become an entitlement society where the majority vote themselves benefits paid for by the minority. And this is not just four years in the making.
I’m not sure. They all look and sound alike you know.
Nice Obama Olympic cartoon:

“Obama is one lucky ass. Somehow he seemed to find himself always at the right place at the right time.
Why is that?”
Obama is the Manchurian candidate.
