"We fed the bananas to the monkeys because they were ripe."
To believe the conservatives version of what the president said, you have to believe in the above sentence that it's the monkeys who are ripe, not the bananas.
So much of wingnut "debate" rests on superfine parsing or distortions of good faith statements. We saw it in what they did to Howard Dean's "scream" and the President's joke about the 57 states. It's shameful and not worthy of the political tradition we like to think we have.
No, it does't.
It rests on your admitting the truth.
Somehow, you on the Left can never connect the dots, call upon experience or evidence....

"Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday that his wife, as well as the wife of President Barack Obama, would have had no chance in life had it not been for government help. According to vice presidential pool reports:
I know, literally, Barack and I talk about it. Neither one of us would have had any shot, Biden said. The same with our wives. Both wives are smarter than both of us. Literally, these very accomplished women would not have any chance without some help.

The same message:
If youve got a business you didnt build that. Somebody else made that happen.
One more message for you:
There's none so blind as those who will not see.
Wise up.
I keyed the words but I'm not strutting-about as if I'd invented the language, the computer and the internet. That's pretty much what wingnuts want us to believe about whatever they post.
NO YOU DIDN'T!!!
Government held your little paw and moved it to each key.....
....get with the program!!!

That's not what the President implied. He never said government was responsible for everything.

Bizarro Girl lives in a world where businesses can survive without government.
Forgetting that these "rugged individualists" wouldn't last a week without legal protections, law enforcement, patent rights, and of course, the lucrative government contracts they all compete for.
waiting for the punchline. Man...if you think those are the best jokes ever, no wonder you're a bunch of assholes.
The punchline is Ubama can't think straight with or without his teleprompter.
To believe Obama's comment meant what the neo-Conservatives are suggesting he meant would necessarily mean Obama is stupid, which is a fundamentally stupid notion.
The meaning of Obama's comment was perfectly clear to me -- and I agree completely with it. Except for those pioneers who carved the earliest era of this Nation out of a raw wilderness, no one who has built a commercial enterprise in modern America has done so without exploiting resources which were set in place by the labor and inventiveness of generations of predecessors and the cooperative efforts of many past and present contemporaries.
To expand on that premise, no one has accumulated a fortune in America without somehow exploiting the material, administrative and human resources of the Nation, which is why it makes no sense to believe government has no moral right to collect taxes and to control the commercial and financial activities of entrepreneurs and idle wealth.

Two of the biggest jokes ever:
1) Conservatism
2) George W. Bush
