Among the other contadictions in his speech, does anyone else see the glaring contradiction in "If youve got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made it happen."? If none of us is responsible for our success and can't achieve it without the help of others, then how can "somebody else" make it happen"? Aren't all somebody elses also not capable of building it? His camouflage of political pablums on how we must cooperate and work together for any individual success to happen is not disputed by his opponents. That basic societal necessity of working together to build a society is not disputed by Romney nor conservatives nor any save, perhaps, anarchists. That, in itself, is not a point of distinction. In his speech, Obama, says that this election is between two fundamentally different views. But, though he tries to paint the picture of his view that cooperation is necessary, and that it is not necessary for his opposition, that picture is BS. The distinction is not whether we work together or not, it is how we work together. The difference is a society built by and for individuals who have inalienable rights, who govern from the bottom up, and a society that is governed from the top down, a society whose individuals are granted rights by the government.
His rhetoric and the you didn't build your business sound bites imply the top down form of government. That is the true distinction.
