The very spirit that Obama actively crushes through ever-increasing regulations and corporate taxation. Funny how he says this in Germany, but he also keeps saying “Made in America” versus “Made in USA” (the phrases are not synonymous).

Ideas into jobs, and countries into fundamental transformations?

I Reagan”s mouth, this would have had meaning.

Obama just makes mouth shapes and noises...while he wonders if he sounds like he means it.

Dear Reader repeats whatever comes up on his Teleprompter.

But he’s very good at that. Obama Akbar!

The spirit of obama has turned the American dream into a fantasy.

It is one thing to be inspired to innovate, and another altogether to be permitted, or even encouraged, to turn that innovation into a vehicle for personal gain.

Mostly, human beings won’t do much of anything, unless there is incentive in it for themselves. People are just not all that altruistic.

Thomas Alva Edison may have been a highly prolific inventor, but without ever having any compensation for the efforts by reaping the rewards of the market, the genius would have dried up rather quickly.

And then the innovators are maligned for their “privilege” and taxed into oblivion.

“””Whatever happened to “You didn’t build that?”””””
That only applies to white Americans.

Another nugget of alleged "brilliance", from a lazy, ignorant ass clown who's never had a job or worked a day in his entire worthless life.

Socialism isn’t about altruism, so that’s OK.
