"Children all around the world are dreaming. Dreaming of daring performances, cheering friends, and proud parents. They affirmed that our aspirations and those of our children and grandchildren can become reality. We salute you Olympians, both because you dreamed, and because you paid the price to make your dreams real. You guys pushed yourself, drove yourself, sacrificed, trained, and competed time and again, winning and losing. You Olympians, however, know that you didn't get here solely on your own power. For most of you, loving parents, sisters or brothers encouraged your hopes. Coaches guided, communities built venues and organized competitions. All Olympians, stand on the shoulders of those who lifted them. We've already cheered the Olympians, let's cheer the parents, coaches, and communities." -- Mitt Romney, Opening Remarks at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics
I would say the tone of that is quite different from what we heard from Dear Reader.
First of all - Obama’s tone of voice and facial expression revealed exasperation and condescension towards business owners....he seems to be saying there are a whole bunch of dumb business people out there who DON’T give credit to their communities.
He also conveniently leaves out the fact that those same business owners are paying the very same taxes that built those roads and bridges.
So, for him to smirk and declare, - you didn’t do that. You didn’t do that!
puts it in a different category than that blip from Romney
