No. Romney told them this: "You guys pushed yourself, drove yourself, sacrificed, trained and competed time and again at winning and losing.” then also praised their families, coaches and communities for helping them. Obama never praised the business owner - he took their success away from them and gave it to others.

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

"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
