Read this very very slowly in order for it to sink in...... The government HAS NO MONEY of it's own. It only aquires money directly or indirectly from BUSINESS. Without business, government would not be able to fund roads, teachers or anything else!!!! Without business, you would be living in a third world country.
Something tells me some people really don't get what small-business owners are........After all there just rich people sucking off the system...........think Pelsoi describes them as the free riders...... WTH is she talking about.
Speaking of no money of their own, sounds like those who believe health care is going to be free!!!
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. 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."
It would have sounded better if he had said, "You didn't do that ALONE", which most people would agree with. Such phrases are easily exploited by the other side. You would think that the President's team would know better by now.

Given his history I do NOT think he misspoke. "You didn't build it" sadly reflects his mindset.
The government would have no roads if it wasn't for the businesses that pay taxes.
I have made that statement repeatedly on here and they still don't get it.......It doesn't sink in... They honestly believe the government gets money from thin air.....

Nobody here thinks that. How stupid to even entertain that thought. The point is that it is a collective effort No one person paid for those roads and bridges. No one person physically built those roads and bridges.
And speaking of taxes, our infrastructure is crumbling, but the right wing does not believe that the people that can afford to pay a relatively small tax increase after years of insane Bush Tax Cut For The Rich, should be obliged to cough up a few bucks for the very nation that enabled them to prosper.
It's not about whether or not the infrastructure is crumbling.. That isn't even in debate.. It is.... What is in question is the amount of government waste and size. Our government is too large and needs to be reighned in. It has become a very expensive place to do business considering all the regulations and enacted laws and business needs to survive too. The american small business has reached a breaking point and that is why the economy is again faltering. Business can't and won't continue to sustain an ever increasing government. A few bucks? Hell, the government is strangling us NOW. Fact is, most of us (small business) are NOT prospering thanks to the taxes we are forced to pay. We can't afford to hire and are not able to expand. Many of us have been forced to contract our business to smaller levels to be able to stay in business. The next time you are looking for work, go to the food stamp office and ask some of the people in line for a job.... Good luck....
Read what the President said, for yourself. Don't rely on extremist-sponsored blogs. If you disagree with the President said than I think your values may be different, less than the rest of most of the nation. The Howard Johnson's success story, for as long as it lasted, was possible because of what the President described.
Everybody on earth has seen the video.
There's no way you can spin this one. It is what it is, as they say.
Foolish TV people have tried to explain it away. FAIL.
Obama is a very foolish man without a clue, but that's what one would expect from someone who has never held an executive position or created jobs.
Poor Obama. It must suck to have such an empty resume.
