Obama didn’t earn his money. He got where he was by affirmative action or political correctness. Harvard Law Review without publishing an article. He IS lucky.
The Gift That Keeps Giving.
Let loose the campaign cash for lots of ads is set to roll with the RNC in the next two weeks. Isn’t that when Romney/Ryan will be eligible for much more of the war chest?
Can’t wait for some great ads using his own words against him.
And I hope & pray after yesterday the Secret Service steps up their protection of Paul Ryan and throws the book at those two loons that rushed the stage.
Nought-bama is engaging in the traditional liberal practice of projecting. He knows his own success is not his doing, so he’s projecting that onto all successful people.
“All we’re 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.”
Every time this asshat opens his fat, useless mouth the sheer epicness of his stupidity slightly dulls the Platonic ideal of Pure and Beautiful Logic.
This is no mistake. Obama is on message. Apparently he has calculated that the resentment and class warfare he has seeded for the last four years appeals to a majority of voters.
My greatest fear is that he is correct and we have become an entitlement society where the majority vote themselves benefits paid for by the minority. And this is not just four years in the making.

When Obama says things like, “If you’re lucky enough, and fortunate enough, and been blessed enough to be in the other two percent...” and “You didn’t build that...you had help....”, he is dropping his mask and showing everyone his true Marxist belief system.....that the government is the source of all success and good things, not individual freedom and perseverance, not free markets, not ingenuity.....instead, you are fortunate, lucky, had help, was shined upon by the all gracious government to have gotten what you have. People had better D@3* well wake up and realize we have a full blown commie Marxist running this country into the ground.
There. Fixed it. He's got some cheek, hasn't he? Runs the deficit through the stratosphere and then tells the rich it's their job to pay it.
If Americans who were frugal enough to hold onto some of their money are considered ‘lucky’ why in hell are we saddled with this imbecilic Marxist as an excuse for a president?
Every Job Obamma has ever had was Given to Him.
He is Jealous of the Rich...because they are ALL Better than He will ever Be.
He is a Pissant Looser just like His Looser Father.
Easier to teach goats to surf than Obama how a lemonade stand works.
Below is the history of a small film distribution company I took over as manager when I left the Navy in 1987. No I didn't build it, but my Grandfather along with a man named Gilboy built it from the ground up. I just made it more profitable by demanding people actually work during company hours (no more drinking on the job) and added some incentives. Basic leadership I learned in the Navy.
In 1947 and before, there was street in Los Angeles that was well-known as Film Row on Vermont Ave. It was made up of very small warehousing operations owned by the movie studios where much of the new and old prints from studios were stored and shipped to the surrounding theater palaces in Southern California.
Paramount, MGM, Warners, United Artists, Universal, Disney, Columbia/Tri-Star, et al use to deal with all those prints and shipments on their movie lots and Film Row which took up space and manpower until they were offered an alternative by true entrepreneurs.
My Grandfather and Gilboy offered them a more cost effective means of dealing with the physical cans storage (warehousing), outgoing shipment to the theaters, and return and destruction of old prints. The studios saved money and time (which is also money) and my Grandfather created a business that employed people.
Those two men started their operation from the ground up with NO loans, pooled their own savings, and opened a central warehouse on Film Row to create Gilboy, Inc. Others around central hub cities took that lead and formed their companies with contracts with the Studios to provide the same services. It was a win for the Studios not having to deal with nor be distracted by the physical distribution of their product once the raw prints left the Technicolor and Deluxe labs and had to be physically mounted on film reals and trucked to the exhibitors (theaters). Think middlemen like Amazon with their fulfillment centers. Products are created, Amazon sells them as a middleman, consumers are the ultimate beneficiaries and all produce jobs.
Shortly thereafter, some 13 new distribution companies who had followed suit formed an organization called National Film Service (NFS). That created multitudes of small trucking entities. Some were owned by the NFS affiliate owners; some were independents. More jobs. BTW, all 13 distribution companies were privately owned and operated. As far as I know, no one borrowed money to start their individual companies. Could be wrong about that since it goes back to the late 40's.
NFS lasted some 50 years until the Carlson conglomerate that owned Technicolor slowly took our business by under-cutting our prices and we folded in 1997. Such is the case with free enterprise. I have no gripe with being beaten on price point, other than the fact that NFS had long ago become unionized under the IATSE (you see their logo at the end of every movie unless the production is out country) and Technicolor wasn't. An unfair advantage regarding labor expenses and follow through costs passed on to our customers, the Studios. Of course the Studios saw the advantage and left us.
Bottom line: When Obama says "you didn't do that", the above shows the perfect example of entrepreneurship and non-governmental assistance, and how a few men created something out of nothing, and created jobs for 50 years all across the Nation! Before 1997, if you ever went to a theater, it was the above guys who got those prints to you all the way back to 1947!
I won't even bother to expand on my own entrepreneurship regarding my print shop that I created from the ground up (including painting the walls and laying down kick panels and carpeting and more). Nor will I expand on my investment and semi-silent owner in a nightclub in Reno that used my own profits from Gilboy to create more jobs that lasted for years. It was called, "American Bandstand". Yes, as in Dick Clark being a partner.
Obama is the antithesis of free enterprise. I won't go into how ill-informed or non-committal he is to entrepreneurship, but suffice it to say if his regulations had been in place at those times above, many would have been without well-paying jobs.
Obama brags about being a "community organizer". Hell, I was the first "community organizer" for the first Free Republic activity back in 1998, called, "The March For Justice". So what? You direct people to do certain things and deal with some logistics and that's about it.
I'm certain that Obama never saw a balance sheet nor a profit&loss statement until he hit the WH. By his actions and Keynesian beliefs he still doesn't know how to read one, nor understand its implications. If he did, how could he run up TRILLIONS of debt?
So there you have an argument against, "they didn't build it". Google National Film Service and see what you see. Or try Gilboy, Inc. Sure there are still many in Hollywood that recognize those names, even if 15 years later. True entrepreneurs, all...with NO help from the Fedgov.
Last though and end rant...haha! This liberal/socialist fallacy of if not for Fedgov roads and infra-structure to give access to development is ass backwards. Look at the back page of any AAA magazine with its historical photographs and you will often see dirt roads leading up to a building or development. As a child, I remember dirt roads in and around our own suburban development in Gardena, CA. Once development happens, it provides the taxes for real streets and roads to be built or paved.
