There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me because they want to give something back. They know they didnt look, if youve been successful, you didnt get there on your own. You didnt get there on your own. Im always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
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 youve got a business you didnt build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didnt get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we dont do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.
It's a flat out lie to say the President was talking about anyones' business. But that's what the Conz do isn't it?
Obama, or someone who was very wise, could have very easily said, You make your on "lot in life." If you want a business of your own, take advantage of what has been given to you by teachers and those in your past and by our communities.
If you want a good job, stay in school, learn a skill and begin your career before your family. It's basically that simple.
But let no one tell you you don't do it on your own.. It is no one else's responsibility other than yourself to make a success of your life. Everyone chooses their own path, whether to be a homeowner and make a living or sitting in a rented apartment accepting a government check because you didn't work for your own success.
Life is full of choices. Take a look at those around you and those walking the streets. It's easy to determine what choices they made. They made their own lot in life. No one else did.
it's only because Obama had everything handed to him that he believes that

Well put but don't expect them to stop spreading this lie.
Even though it is just SO last week.
As for fighting fires, you can bet the slimy rw's will be the first on the phone, begging for help, if their own property catches fire. Same with police. They love waving their guns around and pretending they would actually pull the trigger but they'd be hiding in the dark and whimpering for help if there was any real trouble.
Damn hypocrites.
They must really be scared....what with the constant "did not, did not" posts!
Watching them deny reality is a hoot!
Actually, I could give a shit what the Republicans say at this point.
Nobody is buying what your selling.
I was just correcting your faulty logic.
Laughin' at you guys!!
It's like the cheating husband whose wife catches him in bed with a hooker...and he says "Who you gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes???"
Everybody saw and heard him "You didn't build that!"
When you fill out your income taxes, under occupation put 'Jay Leno punch line.'
"Nobody is buying what your selling."
Really?
So...how come so many Left wing blogs, magazines, talking heads, are out there denying so vociferously???
Accident?
Coincidence?
A hobby?
Or ice cold, stark raving fear of the truth.....?

I'd say it was because they're pointing out how sad it is that Republicans have so little to go on, that they base their entire convention on a half-truth.
And it is very sad.
"....half-truth..."
Well, you're half-right.
"....half-truth..."
Well, you're half-right.
Yes, quoting a source out of context, and then implying he meant something completely different from the speaker's intention is, in fact, a "half-truth".
And basing one's party's convention around a statement that no-one really cares about except the party's own partisans is "half-assed".
Frankly, I expected better. It was a sad excuse for a convention.

Here are exactly how many fucks I give:
The only people that care about this line are those who are already long-ago converted to the Ayn Randian mind-set.
You're not winning anyone over with this. Pretty much everyone can see what he was talking about, and most people agree to some extent.
Really not a good point to base a convention around.

I suspect this is becoming a good litmus test for intelligence.
Do you think Obama meant what he said?
Yes
No
Someone who denies what he obviously said and meant is a mental case. Which proves every conservative's belief that liberalism is a mental disease.

"If youve got a business you didnt build that." isnt talking about anyone's business. Then why did he say "If you've got a business"? Was he saying they didnt build snowmen instead? Spin it all you want, you're just being a dishonest hack by pretending he didnt say what he clearly said.
It all boils down to one thing... obama is a died in the wool, filthy, socialist/commie, and it's no more complicated than that.
Now the libtards know this and don't think they don't. They just HATE to be EXPOSED. They know that if their TRUE COLORS are exposed to the majority of Americans, they can kiss any reelection chances they might have had of their little shit bag commie in chief goodbye.
Pure and simple.

All I see in this post is "blah blah commie, blah blah Obama, blah blah libtards".
It's like you morons have your own little code that you use to communicate with each other. Other people just nod along, mainly because they know you're crazy as a loon...
We all heard the entire quotation. We all know what he said. We all heard Elizabeth Warren say the same thing even more explicitly (OBama isn't original or creative in any way).Here are exactly how many fucks I give:

And ... nutter rw's are now saying they know what the president "meant to say"??
You're confusing him with Reagan and Mitt. Their staff have (or had) the unenviable job of coming out to say, "What he really meant to say ..."
LOLOLOL
We all heard the entire quote. The Rs cut it up and turned it into a lie.
End of story and not something anyone with even a dab of integrity would want to be caught endorsing.
