your proof that businesses are flocking to Detroit, is one guy bought a business that was already opened, in Detroit? Surely you're intelligent enough to see the flaw in that argument, right?

Even in the best of times, there are vacant buildings. Even during the housing bubble there are houses that nobody would buy. This simple logic that even an eight-yr-old understands seems to be completely lost on you.

This idea that having infrastructure means you don't have recession is pure bizzaro. I have no idea where you even come up with that. Certainly Obama never said that. You must have gotten it from some right-wing talk radio or something similar. It's such a ridiculous and childish idea that I don't even know where to begin to dismantle that because it essentially requires me to teach you simple logic. You have such an extreme view of things... wow.
Bull ****.. The president very clearly said YOU DIDNT BUILD THAT.. I'll again you to point out an example, since other left wing kooks that have tried to make the same stupid argument you did, of a city building a road, WITHOUT THE DEMAND for a road.. And where the hell does that demand come from? BUSINESSES, and TAXPAYERS...

Prove me wrong.. Find ONE road built that didnt have a demand. Clearly with the tens of thousands of roads, you can find an example of ONE..

A few people pretend to not know what the Prez was saying, and low and behold, many gullibles actually start believing the incorrect meaning of the statements. Generates just another set of birther types.

Backup the presidents claim by pointing out a road that was built without a demand. Not one of you liberal kooks seem to be able to do that, but stand here trying to justify stupid statements. I'd have far more respect for you if you'd just admit it was dumb, and outright wrong, and move on.

Respondents also overwhelmingly said that small business owners work harder than other Americans. And most believe that entrepreneurs who start businesses do more to create jobs and economic growth than big businesses or government.

Obama increasingly is framing this election as the clash of two visions. The problem for him is that his vision, when honestly articulated off of the teleprompter, conflicts with the traditional American vision that, though decreasingly robust, still holds sway. Unfortunately for Obama, in a moment of weakness he honestly articulated his vision.

I suppose when he said rich people, he must have meant those working at McDonalds. No, how about those people who work at Subway?

When Obama said "If you got a business, you didnt build that", who exactly was he referring to, if not business owners?
