How come Barack Obama gets to say "I ended the war in Iraq, I killed Bin Laden, I saved Detroit, I expanded Oil Production" yet you can't say you built your own business?

Neither of you understand or care to understand what Obama and Romney are saying. Both another example of the left who can not think past what Obama preaches. Government does not create jobs but it can pass policies that causes a reduction in PRIVATE SECTOR jobs.
Example: Coal Company
declared one of his energy goals was to “bankrupt” the coal industry by making electricity prices “skyrocket.” Since Obama's election, the president has tried at every turn and succeeded to make that goal a reality — ardently supporting a cap-and-trade national energy tax and imposing onerous regulations on coal production.
Government can cause reduction or increase in PRIVATE SECTOR jobs.
Obama wants to KILL private sector jobs. The evidence is all around us.

Still clinging to that blatant misrepresentation/misinterpretation of what was said, eh? Being that the GOP built their entire convention on it, I'm not surprised. Saddened a bit, but unsurprised.

Sounds like Romney's screwed. He's admitted Government can't create jobs.
And the truth shall set the Republicans free.
Until they come whining to collect their 12 Million jobs...lol
The onus is on the candidates when it comes to job creation when they state I will create jobs. You can run a platform on you creating jobs (as both men knows government can't create jobs unless there's an open position in a government office). Sadly most people do not know that which is why they keep harping about them creating jobs. It's the same at the state level as well. Ohio Governor touting the jobs he's created but Chris Christie blames the President for the jobs that were lost in New Jersey. People just buy into that rhetoric because it sounds good and people need someone to blame when things go wrong so the candidates take the kudos when things go right.
Ultimately, policy isn't so vastly different from decade to decade to adequately say it's bad for business. There's been worse policy on record with greater financial result. Rarely is it the actual policy especially in today's economic climate of greed above all others. Today, the problems are greed, not policy. The first Bush tax cuts, allowed people esp. the wealthy and job producers to keep more of their money. Instead of putting back in their business, they put it in their pocket and that trend has only continued and gotten worse. As an example look at the financial industry bailout. Not once, but twice did companies like AIG come crawling to the taxpayers for a bailout because they were "too big to fail." Not once, but twice did a company like AIG take taxpayer money to help them stay solvent turn around and lavish their executive teams and this has happened across the board as AIG wasn't the only one using it to make uber bonuses to the top 1%.
Call it a class warfare if you want but in a capitalistic society with finite resources, in order for the haves to have more, the have nots have to have less and we are in that stage at this very moment.
And yet, this "problem solver" you believe in, would prefer to be dishonest about it and claim it has basically been due to Obama's policies. Why lie, when you have ideas that were never implemented since the 1980s when the bleeding accelerated? Perhaps because his "problem solving" utilized that bleeding for success?
Romney's problem solving revolves around a mindset centered in opportunism. People matter only in the grand scheme of input vs. output. The lives of the common folk mean nothing. They have a safety net, which Ryan would gladly cut.
Romney's purpose is to increase the efficiency of the vacuum.

Oh the cute, ignorant slogan "We Built It", strikes again. The new "Drill Baby Drill".
It is why people should not rely on commentators to do the thinking for them. If they have any integrity and self-respect, that is.
