Isn't that what Romney told the athletes in Salt Lake City?

Since my tax money has helped builds roads, bridges, schools, gyms, swimming pools, etc., I demand a share of all the ill-gotten gains athletes and entertainers have accumulated for the last forty years using the infrastructure and facilities my tax money was spent on. Ten million simoleons should satisfy me.

Will we ever know the full list of people who contributed to Obama’s “success”?

Watching the video of Obama's Roanoke remarks, there can be little doubt that, sans teleprompter, he unintentionally revealed his disdain for individuals who achieve success,

My guess is that part of that disdain is his certain knowledge that he is himself undeserving of his station.

I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so fast. There are a lot of fast people out there. It must be because I trained harder than everybody else. Let me tell you somethin’ (sic) — there are a whole bunch of people trainin’ out there. ..”

Ok, we’re getting carried away with this. People here actually believe Lochte could have gotten where he is now with no help whatsoever? No coach,,,no trainers? Good grief. Listen to top notch athletes and they will credit their trainers,,,batting coaches, quarterback coaches, whatever, for helping them get where they are.

And let others step forward to replace him."

According to Procter & Gamble, their moms did it for them.

As far as I can tell from the P&G ads, none of these athletes have supportive fathers.

Lots of humor can be made over Obama’s ridiculous statement about “You did not build that”.

A week ago I wrote here that if Obama said such a thing to a song writer, or an actor, musician, or athlete like what he said about businessmen, he would hooted off the podium. So, I find it humorous to see that others also see the disfunction in Obama’s philosophy; and the hypocracy in his liberal supporters.

Obama's "You didn't build that" psychosis in a nutshell:

"If you come of age in an environment where nearly everyone around you competed and worked hard to get where they are and you didn't, the way you defend against the inevitable ensuing feelings of inadequacy is to create a psychological rationale that no one, absolutely no one, got anywhere except with a leg up and a helping hand from others. Their "affirmative action" is just less conspicuous than yours, but the bottom line is that you are no different from them."

" But Barack Obama has a message for Lochte, and other American medal winners: You didn't win that."

Scroll back to 2008.

True that.
There are so many people (and pets) to thank...just like a long-winded Oscars’ acceptance speech.

0bama should return the Nobel Peace Prize that was given to him for nothing. He certainly hasn’t earned that.
