I hope the president and first lady appreciate what I did for them today. I sent them change of address cards. People always forget that when they are moving.

Businesses take a lot of hard work to make successful. So I'd say that comment by Barack is the epitome of rude. And yes, I call him by his first name - because many teenagers could do a better job as president.

Default Capitalism created government, not the reverse.

America had wealthy entrepreneurs long before our government was formed. In fact, the wealthy Patriots of the era funded the Revolution which formed the government.

Government does not have money, unless they take it through taxation from its citizens.

Obama is REALLY that dumb!

I thought our capitalism was jump-started through slavery. After taking the land from the natives.

You're assuming that there was no government before the revolution. That's false. We were a part of the British Empire. It had a government which did all it could to facilitate the business of empire.

Scarcity is a condition that means resources must be rationed if you truly desire equality and the well being of society. If you don't, and instead are consumed in your own selfish desires, you are contributing to your own demise because while science has kept Malthus dilemma from being realized, exponential population growth combined with environmental degredation will inevitably become a realization. The American way of life as you know it is already in great detriment considering it his held up by oil and the coerced cooperation of third world foreign entities. Is it not cowardly behavior to leave the world on the shoulders of your children because you think you won't live to see a probably collapse? We Americans need to wake up. It should be about the children.

Not just luxury cars, any cars. Soviet economy could not produce any modern cars. Soviet electronics? What electronics? ha ha ha There were never Russian personal computers, optical drives, microchips etc etc. ha ha ha Russian was obtaining a lot of technology through industrial espionage effort of the entire soviet block yet a lot of this technology was simply impossibly to duplicate in Russia. Why do you think there was an embargo on advance technology in the first place?

Technologically Russia was in XIX century and in many aspects still is. ha ha ha Today China and Korea are more advanced than Russia. ha ha ha "Second economy" ha ha ha
You want to share your ideas on democracy and commerce? ha ha ha

Default Waaah, they're twisting my words...Waaaaah

Incredible!!!!

An Obama speech was just played where he had the audacity to say his words about business owners not building their business were twisted out of context by his political foes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I listened to the infamous speech and no way can Obama take back his words and intent as he conveyed them.

Such a "great orator" and absolute abysmal communicator has never co-existed in one person.

What boldness to pretend his words were taken out of context and turned against him. what an insult to the American people!!!!!!!! by this street corner charlatan pretending 'badly, to be president!
