Independent or not - you clearly support the left.
I think it's been made clear to you that you are taking the statement out of context when you don't quote the entire statement.

He was clearly referring to the infrastructure that allows a business to succeed.

wow you are complaining about his wallet? Goes to show it really doesn't matter about content the right will complain about everything he does. Heaven forbid he walks on water the right would complain about the shoes he did it in.


We get it you hate Obama, I personally hate worthless threads with no merit.

His statement demonstrates that he is out of touch - and doesn't understand, appreciate, or even bother to acknowledge the hard work and sacrifice that goes into running a successful business.

The reason why the left tries to run away from what the man said is because he was wrong.

Why not just admit that he was wrong - and work to change the Democratic Party's disdainful attitude towards business owners.

You just look foolish when you deny what the president said - and try to spin it.

He was clearly wrong. He assumed he was speaking to adults who'd be able to follow a thought across several sentences.

The only one spinning it is you. I understand why - because it has become a meme for the GOP.

I'm not spinning anything - I have directly quoted the president from the White House transcript three times in this thread. He said what he said.

And you are being amazingly disingenuous. You have already been told that the statement is being taken out of context, and you pretend you do no wrong by not including the full passage.

Give it up, dude.

Post the full text, not just that snippet.

That's part of it. But what Republicans don't understand is that a business owner does NOT do it themselves...that's impossible. They need things like , oh, CUSTOMERS, accountants, employees, roads, shipping, buildings, and yes, REGULATIONS (or the playing field for them wouldn't be fair)and OH YA , LOANS!!!! NObody builds a business alone but I sure wish these ignorant Republicans would try starting a business all alone....hilarious outcomes!! Of course they'd blame Obama for their stupidty and failure

I wouldn't call that massive unless he's hiding 100's in it.

What I do find surprising is he has cash on him at all.
