He didn't happen to mention any of his plans to fix the economy during this speech, did he??
No, because he didn't have to. He's already made it abundantly clear that his "plan" goes no further than giving larger tax breaks to the "jobs creators." You know them, right? Corporations and wealthy investors like himself.
Have you managed to see and hear the Romney speech that was made to the entire group of Olympians from all countries? I bet you refused to listen to it. Why? Because you found an NBC writer who took that small part out of context and it works so well for you.
Of course, you haven't given us the whole Obama gaffe to listen to since you want so much to make Romney look bad. It takes no spinning, at all, to do that for Obama since he managed to go off teleprompter long enough to garble his words and no speech writer would have ever written it the way he delivered it.
Each time he goes off prompter his demeanor changes, his voice goes up an octave and he becomes petty, condescending and snarky. It's like throwing a switch, and we go from Mr. President, the fake Obama, to Mr. Snark, the real Obama.

How's that worked for us in the past?
Jobs were sent to India and Mexico.
Quick story, I live in Pittsburgh and we used to have a nabisco factory here; it shut down recently and was converted into Starbucks, stables, LA fitness. All nice looking business they pay minimum wage. I bought a pack of Gram-Crackers yesterday which are made by Nabisco and on the box it say made and packaged in MEXICO!!! UNBELIEVABLE
15 years ago it would have said made in packaged in PITTSBURGH/UNITED STATES by a worker living in the city of Pittsburgh making 15$ a hour! That stimulates the economy paying people decent wages.
Crediting teachers is fine but talking about roads and government is not. People pay for infrastructure all the time. People putting in sweat equity like teachers that go above and beyond their job is voluntary. I wish Obama could sort out the two. People don't ''OWE'' government a thing, we pay for it with taxes.
No kidding! We decide that we need roads, bridges, sewers, schools, libraries, police and fire departments, so we pool our taxes and build them. Then, people like Obama hold the things we built - over our heads, telling us we are not worthy of praise, because of the roads, bridges, etc...
We decided that we need Air Force One, the Secret Service, and all those people who service every need of the first family, he should be on his freaking knees each day thanking the people, instead of disparaging the people.
Good grief! Is he and his campaign REALLY that stupid?
Are you? That was filmed over 10 years ago.
It probably took multiple days and hundreds of man hours for MSNBC to find a clip that they felt they could compare to the dumbest thing a sitting president has ever uttered. The fact that they did so means they agree with that sentiment.
Wrong. Obama said "You didn't build that" talking specifically about public roads and bridges which companies use to distribute their products.
No, he did not. He was clear as a bell, he said:
"If you've got a business... (pause for emphasis on "business")That!....(He is verbally highlighting and pointing at the word "business"just said, to make sure you know "that" refers to "business") You didn't build that, somebody else made that happen."
But the Obama sycophants twist themselves in pretzels:
"0bama did not mean that "that", he meant that other "that", even though he paused to say "that" to emphasize the word business."
Saying people should thank their parents and siblings is quite a bit different from saying people should thank government...
The Left must be sensing a Romney victory in the Fall their threads and stories are becoming more bizarre and irrational by the day. This could be a long three months around here.

We see that MSNBC thinks it's there job to protect their guy Obama. MSNBC would never go to so much trouble to try and prove a false claim made by Obama, against Romney. If Obama makes a false charge about Romney, MSNBC would say it's not their job to police the charges made between the candidates. But clearly they think it's their job to protect Obama.
"You Olympians, however, know you didn't get here solely on your own power,” said Romney, who on Friday will attend the Opening Ceremonies of this year’s Summer Olympics. “For most of you, loving parents, sisters or brothers, encouraged your hopes, coaches guided, communities built venues in order to organize competitions. All Olympians stand on the shoulders of those who lifted them. We’ve already cheered the Olympians, let’s also cheer the parents, coaches, and communities. All right! [pumps fist].”
And this is why people need an education.
Obama said,
Quote:
“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help … Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen,” Obama said.

For those who have an understanding of the English language, there is a marked difference between the two statements, that is easily comprehended. One says, "If you were successful, somebody gave you help", the other says, "To get here, there is a group of people who supported you in one way or another".
If you cannot see the difference between the two statements, and the inherent meaning, then the help needed, is beyond my capability to deliver.
{Yes, the last sentence is a bit snarky}
