hmmm...Ok, I’ll throw this one to the flames...
The truth is ...a lot of people work hard and never become wealthy. Hardwork does not equate to wealth...without luck?
On the face of it one might consider it ‘luck,’ but luck really has little to do with it. Wealth comes through sacrafice and the efforts to network with the right people and put your money in the right places...be it product, services, or marketing, etc.
If every hardworker thought of himself or herself and their skill set as a wealth building tool...instead of the hardworking tool...would they still ascribe to the ‘luck’ mentality of wealth building?
0bama is correct...hard work will not build wealth.
BUT, luck has nothing to do with it either.
I’ll bet those guys I see with the signs on the corners that say, “Vietnam Vet...will work for beer money” are just lucky, are very wealthy, and have decided to take up a hobby of waving at folks on street corners.
They are ALREADY doing a little bit more.
Obama, why don't you explain to the "unlucky" that some of yhem are doing NOTHING at all and that THEY are lucky that someone is paying for their housing and health care and their food. And you and the ungrateful "unlucky" ones both complain that it's not enough.
And then you tell the "lucky" ones that YOU want THEM to pay more. Pay more, for example, to bail out the GM unions that helped drive the company into the ground. The "lucky" ones get the privilege to pay for all the stupid mistakes YOU and people like you have made.
That attitude just burns me up.
Maybe you need to teach these folks how to become "lucky" so I won't have to listen to those stupid ads on the radio about the little girl who gets up in the middle of the night hungry and finds the fridge empty because her parent has not signed up for food stamps yet. Tell all your friends to sign up, too!
What you should be telling them is that they should walk up to several "lucky" looking people each day and say, "Thanks for helping us out until we can get back on our feet again." How 'bout some thanks, not just demands? Din't yo mamma teach you anything? Or your commie grandparents? Or you commie "mentor" Frank? No, because they were warped and they warped you and you are warping a whole new generation.
And you can't even get your job done without being a liar and surrounding yourself with liars. You are a child surrounded by children. Time to let the adults take over so you can go play golf.
The hits just keep on coming! His “slips oh the heart” are occurring once every two weeks and result in add campaigns against him. The infamous “You didn’t built that” comment is like a $0 million add campaign against him. This “Lucky” comment has enhanced it even more.
One looking back at the campaign will see how Hussien defined himself and his regular slips at campaign events confirmed to the electorate who he really was.
“All were saying is after that, maybe you can do a little bit more to help pay down this deficit and invest in things like education that help our economy grow.”
Imagine an adult child living at home in his parents’ basement, who is going to college on his parents’ dime, but only intermittently and all the while failing spectacularly.
Despite this, he regularly “borrows” Mom’s credit cards and spends enormous amounts of money on Slurpees, gambling, PlayStation games, big screen TV’s, etc. Sometimes, he just gives money away to his friends so they will continue to like him.
Finally, nearly all of the cards are maxed out to the tune of over $50,000. It is a serious financial burden on the family. All of Mom’s paycheck goes toward making the minimum payments on the credit cards, and the family is struggling. Mom, Dad, and the overgrown kid finally sit down to have a talk about what the family is going to do.
Dad suggests that the son cut his expenses down to nothing. and get a real job and start paying down the debt on his mother’s credit cards. The adult child looks at the dad and says, “Dad, maybe you can do a little more to pay down this debt and invest in my college education.”
Dad is flabbergasted.
The son continues, “Dad, you didn’t get to where you are by yourself. You had help. Now, I need help. You make more money than anyone in the family, but you’ve also contributed the least to pay down this debt. Mom doesn’t make as much as you but she’s carried the burden of this debt all by herself. You’re just going to have to do more.”
He then gets up, goes to the computer, and orders a new Ipad, some expensive Nike shoes, and a set of fancy rims for his car, on the last credit card that isn’t completely maxed out.
Government has become a spoiled adult child we all have living in our basement. Only, it’s not so easy to kick this one out...
All I'm saying is that, maybe you can do a lot less spending, stop growing deficit, stop raising taxes, get government out of the way and allow our economy grow.
Now it’s the wealthy two percent? Do we get to five percent by November?
What the #$%@ is he talking about? Not being taxed on your first $250,000? He has never filed out a tax return in his life.

Projection.
The reason he can’t stay away from this topic is because he was lucky and never worked and never earned anything and never built anything. He has no idea where businesses and products come from. He assumes that everyone else who has achieved something got it the same way he did: by having it handed to them on a silver platter.
Yes,Osama,many,many others helped you (and your pals and supporters) get to wherever you are but don't you dare tell me that *I* didn't achieve *my* "American dream all by myself!!!!
Nothing new here. Clinton did much the same when he referred successful people to “The winners of lifes lottery”
were it not for thrir hatred, envy and nastiness those on the Left would have nothing at all.
There is no such thing as luck...in business or in any other sector of life.
Life is what one makes of it.

You know, if I’m David Axelrod, I’m going to Barry and telling him to ****ing ZIP IT.
“...Obama really doesn’t understand the correlation between hard work and achieving success...”
He’s LIFELONG LEECH/PARASITE/MARXIST; never worked a day in his pathetic, false life. Never sacrificed, never gambled on success, never made a strategic plan, never made payroll, never..., never..., never..., never... I could go on and on.
0BUMMER’S a lifelong L-O-S-E-R!
How could 52% of America have been so damned stupid to put this lowlife POS in office? Dear God, what have we done to our beloved Republic? He’s destroying America!
Can we ever get it back?
Obama would consider me “wealthy” although I am not. I am successful, however. It was all luck. That 7 years of post graduate education just fell into my lap out of the blue one day. And the 14 hour days I work, the nights, holidays and weekends spent at the job have nothing to do with success....I just got lucky and this great company started sending me paychecks to sit around and do nothing. I’m so glad this didn’t take any effort on my part....
Oh, and since I got “lucky” the government helps itself to half of my income. Good thing I didn’t have to work for it, or I might be pretty upset at that. /s
The adjectives he chooses to describe people who’ve had success are revealing and mindblowing.
Lucky?
Fortunate?
How about “diligent”? How about “driven”?
If anyone is “lucky” to be where they are, it’s Obama.
