You Never Ran a Lemonade Stand!

You never know what's going to come out of Obama's mouth. One thing we know is that the more excited he gets the more ridiculous he sounds. I can't wait for the presidential debates.

Last week during a campaign stop in Roanoke Virginia, President Obama was regaling the crowd with his vision of America. Only a Marxist could see America the way he does. Did he really say, “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

Yes he did. He really did. Incredible as it sounds, he actually did say that. What’s worse, the rest of the speech just dug the hole deeper for Obama. Of course the liberal establishment, like the Atlantic, have rushed to his defense and tried to explain his statement as being reasonable.

Obama’s statement is only reasonable to the progressive hive mind. It describes their worldview in a nutshell. Liberals believe that government creates everything: the economy, jobs, businesses, bridges, buildings, aircraft, toothpaste, birth control, gum drops and everything else in our culture and society.

Liberals are adamantly opposed to capitalism in any form and refuse to give businessmen credit for the things they do best: like creating a vibrant and viable economy and raising the standard of living for everybody. Capitalism and business produce freedom, security and better health for everyone. It is in socialist nations that you find high costs, shortages and oppression. Business is the prime driver of capitalism, and small business is the main driver of the business community. Business fuels the entire economy.

A rugged individual, or partners, with a dream and the drive to make things happen built every single business there ever was. Everybody else works for them, unless they draw a government check. Yes, President Obama, they built that. They made that happen!

That businessmen provide the very basis for a capitalist economy is not an idea Obama can embrace, much less deal with. The very idea contradicts his collectivist world-view and his Alinsky approach to solving the problem of capitalism. As far as I can tell, he’s only had three real jobs in his entire life—and the one he had filling ice cream cones at Baskin-Robbins was his most productive.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal made a great observation on President Obama's business and executive experience:

“President Obama hasn't run anything before he was elected President of the United States. Never ran a state, never ran a business. Never ran a lemonade stand. This job’s too important for on-the-job training.”

Even Hillary said that the Presidency was no place for on-the-job training. For once I agree with her.

In Chapter Three of Lost in Zombieland I discuss Obama's lack of qualifications for the most important executive position in the entire world:

“Barak Hussein Omeba was the least qualified candidate to ever run for the Presidency… He was, in fact, ineligible for the office. That he was neither qualified nor eligible for the most important elected office in the United States of America did not bother the media, nor stop them from campaigning for him…Omeba’s only tangible accomplishment's up that point in his life were two books he had written about himself. He had no real accomplishments to write about, so he wrote about his personal “journey.”

Barack Obama has never opened a business, never run one, never made payroll, or had to deal with complex business regulations. He’s never paid business taxes and never had to deal with the plethora of burdensome government regulations that plague businesses and our economy today. Government is the now the single greatest threat to business, our economy and our way of life. As president Reagan famously said, “Government is not the solution. Government is the problem.”

You Barack Hussein Obama are not qualified to talk about business or our capitalist economy, much less run them.

You, President Obama, never ran a lemonade stand.

The real point here is that government does nothing on its own. Government exists only because our free enterprise system produces wealth that can be taxed. Without private sector wealth generation and tax payments government can’t do a thing.

He cribbed that out of a speech by famous indian squaw “Lieawatha Liz” Warren.

(I know — it is more likely “eternal” like so many of the left’s “truths” — like “living document,” “negative rights, “no vote fraud,” “national socialism is RIGHT wing,” and “socialism will work if the right people (us) are in charge.”)

As I’ve have said recently Obama is either a serious drug user, like crack cocaine or LSD/and/or he is very seriously deluded or even mentally ill. It seems in the last three and a half years or most certainly in the last few months anyway what has come out of this idiots mouth in terms of pure ignorance bordering on the just plain crazy seems to have stunned a good part of the nation. I’ll say it again:Barack Obama is f’ing nuts!!

Adolph H. starterd doing crazy stuff around the three year point in his reign also. See how that turned out.

Very well put. How come the Libs can’t see this? They refuse to even recognize the essential nature of business to any society. You can’t reason with people like this.
