Go Romney! Go! He’ll hammer Obama in NOV.
Then why is it, that many leave out the beginning sentences?
“.....look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own.
I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges.
If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.
The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.”
Hannity just played this EXACTLY!!! Good for you Sean.
It's not JUST:
“If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that.”
It's:
1. “look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own.”
2. “You didn’t get there on your own.”
3. “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that.”
4. “Somebody else made that happen.”
All four are complete sentences ending with a period. For you nitpickers, in the first broken sentence, Obama changed thoughts mid stream and this new thought starts with the word “look”.

I didn’t realize that this was from the same speech as the “you didn’t build that” speech.
“THE PRESIDENT: Now, before I finish, can I say, by the way, that some of you have been standing for a while and I see a couple folks slumping down a little bit. Make sure you’re drinking water. Bend your knees. Don’t stand up too straight. The paralegals will be — the paralegals? (Laughter.) You don’t need lawyers. (Laughter.) The paramedics will be coming by, so just give folks a little bit of room, they’ll be fine. This happens at every event.”
Thanks for the hotlink.
I found this gem that seems to sum up the creepy, commie Kenyan’s basis for building, (with the help of “somebody else” of course), COMMUNE AMERIKA:
” - - - We rise or fall together as one nation and as one people, and that’s the reason I’m running for President — because I still believe in that idea. You’re not on your own, we’re in this together.”
Just think of the “Changes!”
1.) No more risk when trying to build something new, as one would never be on one’s own, but always with everybody helping tirelessly.
2.) Patents would be meaningless since everybody will have done their “fair share,” (but no more than THEIR fair share), and thus according to The Fairness Doctrine, it would be unfair to reward any one person for effort above and beyond what was agreed to in the Union of Fairness inflexible Fairness Contract.
3.) The US Patent Office would abolished retroactively to the date of Obama’s Kenyan or Hawaiian Birth, whichever came first.
Really? Even with the comments that led up to the remark?
Obama said “I’m always struck by people who think, `Well, it must be because I was just so smart.’ There are a lot of smart people out there. `It must be because I worked harder than everybody else.’

I was just pointing out that his very stupid statement (you didn’t build it ...) is in the context of the rest of his anti-business rant regardless of the interpretation.
Was he referring to roads and bridges and not businessmen? Perhaps, perhaps not. Either way it is still in context. As you point out, he is obviously anti-businessman.
But regardless of his intent, Obsma really stepped into it Big Time and fortunately Romney is making him play defense. That’s a first for this campaign. Hopefully it’s not the last.
Obambo and his minions can holler all they want. It’s already too late. They can’t get that toothpaste back in the tube. That statement will go down in history as his political epitaph.
good ad. Still doesn’t make me like the CINO
My husband works 14 hours or so on a not too busy day. When he is busier at work, he works 14 hours then comes home and works at his computer till he about falls out of the chair, sleepy. He travels cross country from his local office to his office that is 1800 miles away. He works his ass off and he has done this at his job for 39 years. I have lost any respect for Barack Obama that I might have still had, IF I had any! I can’t wait to get this arse clown out of the White House! What a creep! Maybe HE has never worked hard, but my husband, my son, my daughter, my son in law, all work VERY VERY Hard! Hard work is what made America great, not WELFARE CHECKS
And he said a Teacher helped you along the way. Well WHO does he thinks pays for Teachers and Schools? Here it is property taxes and we don’t have any kids in school! He drives me nuts.
