By definition, an entrepreneur is "a person who organizes, operates, and assumes the risk for a business venture." Obama has NEVER done any such thing. His entire life has been spent pitting one group against another, which is obvious when looking at how he's tried to govern the country.
Yes, Obama is a self made man (as far as we know), but don't confuse that with being an entrepreneur. That, he certainly is not.
Will his appeal to stupid & poor people put him over the top in November?
No, Pres. Obama isn't against capitalism. He's against vulture capitalism -- and an opponent who claims to be a job creator who essentially robbed people of money using crafty legal means.
This is what Bain did; they bought companies and borrowed money on the company's name; then dispersed that money to the owners and then drove the company into bankruptcy -- and in some cases, raiding the employee's pension funds.
The result was lots of money for the owners and unemployment for the employees.
