Getting back to the original topic...
Obama is now saying that when he stated business owners "didn't build that", he was referring to the infastructure that exists. The "that" that they didn't build isn't their business, but rather highways and bridges.
OK. So if American taxpayers didn't build that infastructure, then who the heck did?
Furthermore, that wasn't the only kooky comment Obama made. He also dismissed entrepeneurs who feel that their success is due to intelligence and hard work. Obama said that there are a lot of hard-working smart people out there. The irrefutable implication is that entrepeneurs arwe no different than peopl ewho do not start businesses from scratch.
How would Obama know this, anyway? What business has he built? On what does he base his knowledge that entrepeneurs are no different than anyone else?
JohnnyD, what do you think of that?
This is what you get when you have a guy whose life experience includes student, community organizer (rabble rouser), professor, and politician. No one with that background would be expected to have any clue how hard it is, for example, to start a business or meet payroll.
Then, Obama says any criticism of his idiotic remarks is "bogus". This is the guy who was supposed to unite all of us, now anyone who dares to criticize him is "bogus".
If this guy was polling at 5%, I'd be worried that 5% of this country is so easily manipulated by a charlatan. That he's polling in the mid 40's is nothing short of scary. Hilary Clinton never, ever looked so good.
Earth to Obama...folks who start a business and turn it into a success are absolutely different than those who never attempt that most American of endeavors. They are different. And they deserve to be honored and encouraged, not to be dismissed with an elitist wave of Obama's hand. Because in Obamaworld, drinking hot toddies in the Harvard faculty lounge is impressive...starting a business, like serving in the military, is for folks not good enough for the Ivy League. And not only are entrepeneurs inferior to Ivy League academocs, they are also the enemy...clearly they are all sinister tycoons, hell-bent on getting rich by exploiting the ignorant masses, who are too stupid to know they are being exploited, and thus need Obama to save them.
