"You didn't get there on your own"

This was no gaffe, it was precisely what he thinks, never having started a business.

Look at the comments of his followers here. They're behind his comments 100%.

And that's about it.

.

He said that the public and private sectors are a cooperative effort that work together to make this country prosper.

That people like you can't understand that is simply astonishing.

Okay guys, don't let the loonies and desperate Obama worshipers drag the train off the tracks here. The topic of this thread is quite capable of sustaining interest all by itself, I want to keep the focus there.

Let's see. I didn't build my own business. Somebody else did that for me. Isn't that what he said?

Somebody else thought up the idea. Somebody else did the intensive research and talked to all those people to see if it could be profitable. Somebody else invested in the tools, equipment supplies, and transportation necessary for us to do the work. Somebody else spent long, long days and hours and hours on the road to produce a product good enough that others wanted it and allowed us to finally get to the point we were making a living at it and were able to recoup our investment.

That's what the President seems to want me to believe.

But yes, somebody else built the roads we drive on. Our taxes contribted to building and maintaining roads. Would those roads have existed, however, if we had not been earning money to pay the taxes that built them? So which came first. People earning a living who were willing to pay for more infrastructure? Or did the government appear out of thin air and magically create an infrastructure out of nothing so that people could earn a living?

The people who built the components of the computers I use in my business and who built the computers themselves don't even know I exist, much less didn't built those components for my benefit. They built those components to put bread on their own table. If they had not been able to do that, they would not have provided the components.

The clients who pay me to work for them do not do so out of the goodness of their hearts. The products/services I provide them are necessary for them to conduct their own business and put bread on their table. Otherwise they would not pay me to provide our product and without being paid, we would not provide it.

But I didn't build my business. I didn't take the risk. I didn't put my money on the line. I didn't put in all the long days of blood, sweat, and tears and make it profitable. That's what the President told me. And I find that extremely insulting and so out of touch to be unimaginable.

Can you beat that for arrogance?

This from the same man who (according to the left) single-handedly took out OBL.

If you qualify 'standing on the backs of giants like Seal Team six' as taking out ANYTHING, that is.

As a business owner ( a real one, not like the hundreds of righties on this board, other boards and calling into liberal talk shows pretending to be business owners) I can assure you I would be nowhere without all kinds of help from all kinds of sources, including the US Govt, State Govt, County etc

Great. Get out your checkbook. I would like for you to reimburse me for the help I have given you.

 

[ConzHateUSA]

Your not going to deal with the facts i gave you huh candyslice?

Sweetie, how many times am I going to have to tell you your argument has value? And that is EXACTLY WHY I don't want these people taking credit for MY success. They fought AGAINST me, not FOR me and for Obama to articulate such a pile of shit just INFURIATES me.

One example of Obama fighting against your success? (i dont believe you or any bagger on here actually owns their own business, but for the sake of this discussion I will pretend that you do)

Bush crashed the entire world economy with his gaming of our system

 

[Truthmatters]

how many of your cutomers have government jobs that make it possible for them to buy your product?

 

[Katzndogz]

Anyone want to admit openly that they owe nothing to our society? No taxes, no honesty, no compassion, no desire to build on the accomplishments of past generations for the sake of the future generations? Maybe you can tell us of your plans to take it all with you when you die?

Building on past generations for future generations has nothing to do with government. It has to do with individuals using their talent, capital and innovation passing that on to the future. Not government.

It's the same as saying your father isn't your father. The government is your daddy and proving it by claiming that your grandfather was alive to birth your daddy.

really feel that way when he said:
“If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that,” Obama told a crowd in Roanoke, Va., on Friday. “Somebody else made that happen.”

Is he THAT dumb to criticize the major voting block that put him in office..
76% of all voters white.. of which 44% voted for him in 2008... and now he is criticizing some of the same people that voted him into office? IS THAT DUMB or does he mean it?

If he means it he again is showing the incredible ignorance of what it takes to start and keep a business going.. and this pompous BUTT thinks these people had NOTHING to do with it?

Now the WH is trying to walk this back by saying well businesses need roads and bridges..
hmmm Cuba/Russia have bridges.. so why are Cubans still driving cars from the USA built in the 50s?
If Obama intended to say well the Internet was a government project... he was right!
BUT OBAMA.... what funded that research? TAX dollars make up 97% of Federal revenue!
So businesses that make a profit have employees that pay taxes, pay property taxes and Federal taxes that CREATED the Internet!
SO is he like ALGORE that totally ignorant as to how the Federal government pays its bills?

NO Obama meant that statement and was stupid for making it!
His whole educational background hated businesses hated profits.. hated USA and it is totally true or WHY else is he bent on tearing people down? Tearing businesses down?
Tearing the USA down???

Oh... he meant it alright. And in case anyone's wondering how he managed to put himself into a position where his true collectivist feelings burst forth from his mouth unbidden... his handlers are trying to wean him off the 'prompter.
Obama Being Weaned Off the Teleprompter - President Obama - Fox Nation

All that's left to do now is to rank this gaffe in comparison to earlier ones. Personally, while it doesn't sound quite as bad as "bitter-clingers" or "spread the wealth", I'd have to give it top billing since it so handily confirms his socialist tendencies at a really critical point in the election.

Arent they cute

I have a business partner who is an extreme racist con motherfucker, and I never speak to him about politics because he will only puke out what Hannity or Oreilly said the night before (kinda sad, he is very bright too, weird) and I would love to hear him tell me how he built this all on his own when in fact we had to rely heavily on all kinds of govt, roads, employees, banks, regulations, etc.

how funny

more fucking lying from the right

Personally I think it's the most brilliant statement he's ever made. NOW maybe people will finally see what an idiot he is.

What's ironic is that at the same time the Right is ranting about this, the GOP is ramping up its efforts to reverse the coming defense spending cuts,

and they are making an economic/JOBS argument in the process.

Attacking the president for saying that the government is part of the jobs equation while they're fighting for make-work defense projects funded by the government.

 

[ConzHateUSA]

Well, liar, maybe Obama fought against you and your pretend business, but I can assure you he didnt fight against the Swiss Watch industry, record profits, or the stock market, record highs...

The rich love Obama, you can take that to the bank...morons

 

[Truthmatters]

you cant explain it because it outs the right as gamoing the system.

the congress and the president agreed on a bill and then Gramm left to cash in as UBS bank for his efforts.

then Bush took office and appointed an SEC head that gamed the bill to only allow the parts they wanted to be implimented.


the bill that passed would have prevented this mess.


the republicans made sure that didnt happen

Truth, EVERYBODY games the system. That's the problem and I repeat: The Libs DIDN'T DO IT ON THEIR OWN.
But when you tell me I have these same idiots to thank for MY success well, you've just over stepped yourself.

Gramm


read the history of the law sometime.


see how you change what he said to fit your preconcieved ideas?


Obama said you have had help and you have.


how the FUCK is that evil?

 

[Katzndogz]

National defense is one of the few things government is supposed to do. Democrats just happen to believe we don't need national defense. After all, it's not like there's anyone out there that doesn't like us.
