While speaking at the White House Mentorship and Leadership graduation ceremony in the Blue Room of the White House on Monday, President Obama made a statement reminiscent of his now-famous "you didn't build that" campaign line. According to Obama, no one, not even him, is capable of succeeding on their own.
"This idea that somehow we succeed just on our own is just not true," he said. "Nobody does, not even the President of the United States -- maybe especially not the President of the United States."
"There are thousands, tens of thousands of people -- starting with my parents, and now my family -- but tens of thousands -- hundreds of thousands of people who helped me succeed and continue to help me succeed every single day," he added. "Thats the nature of how any society works is we support each other."
"Straw man one is down," one person said on Twitter, mocking Obama's comments. "I repeat, straw man one is down!"
For a number of people, Obama's comments were far too familiar. "You didn't build that, part 2," said one Twitter user.
"[G]reat advice," another person said. "[L]et's just tell everyone hard work gets you nowhere so you might as well just go back to watching netflix."
"Not even the leader of the free world is smart enough to understand that he made it to where he is today because of hard work and determination," one conservative critic said. "He set a goal (to become president) and through conniving, vile, and downright reprehensible falsehoods, he convinced enough of the uninformed to vote for him twice."

FUBO!
Did Obama mention Bill Ayers and George Soros as People who helped him Succeed?
Oh yeah, don’t forget the 66 Million Morons who put him there.
Gee, I could have used this advice while I was working three jobs and attending college full time back in the day. I often looked around and wondered who the heck was helping me. Just say’n
Ping.
Exept women. Women do it on their own.
If we change enough laws and policies, if we get them special help and understanding, if we hold ourselves back and defund male programs, if we medicate boys and teach them to never express who they really are, and if we shovel massive amounts of money at anything they want to do, then...
...women do it on their own.
He espouses the antithesis of what America is. Or perhaps what it was. The deluge of insanity in our times of late has put me under and I can’t find the surface.
Right out of the mouth of the Affirmative Action King
Would like to see a picture of the graduates I imagine they all look like O and Mo
FUBO!
This jerk actually thinks this way because HE never did anything on his own. It was all laid out for him. All he had to do was smoke pot and read radical writings. And when the time came, Soros’ money and Ayer’s skills of deception paved his way.
What an ass. In the big scheme of things, no one has been able to say that they “succeeded on their own” in three million years. So what. Even Issac Newton said that he “stood on the shoulders of giants”. Maybe he is speaking from experience. Obama certainly didn’t succeed on his own, and you can take that to the bank.
However, what Obama is trying to imply, of course, is that you didn’t succeed without your friend, The Progressive Democratic Party, helping you each step of the way, you poor, downtrodden, worthless urchins.
Rather inspiring...not.
Guess obama doesn’t encourage his daughters that they can accomplish anything if they try hard. No he prolly says you didn’t accomplish that because others failed you.
Thanks, guilty white leftist voters, who voted for this POS in 2008.
I find the line “starting with my parents” to be especially hilarious.
Individuals and the private sector built everything in this nation and the wealth they generated paid for everything this nation has.

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
Profile: Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour
"Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour is a Muslim lawyer and a black nationalist who made news in 2008 when it was revealed that he had been a patron of Barack Obama and had recommended the latter for admission to Harvard Law School in 1988.
Before becoming a Muslim, al-Mansour in the 1960s was named Don Warden. He was deeply involved in San Francisco Bay Area racial politics as founder of a group called the African American Association. A close personal adviser to Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, al-Mansour helped the pair establish the Black Panther Party but later broke with them when they entered coalitions with white radical groups."
...
Al-Mansour is an outspoken hater of the United States, Israel, and white people generally. In recent years he has accused the U.S. of plotting a genocide designed to remove 15 million black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society. He has told fellow blacks that whatever you do to [white people], they deserve it, God wants you to do it and thats when you cut out the nose, cut out the ears, take flesh out of their body, dont worry because God wants you to do it. Alleging further that Palestinians in Israel are being brutalized like savages, he accuses the Jews of stealing the land the same way the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America.
