“If Barack Obama has a Harvard law degree, he didn’t earn that. Somebody else made that happen.”

On July 13, 2012, at a campaign event at Roanoke Fire Station #1, in Roanoke, Virginia, President Barack Obama said:

“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. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.”

The bolding is mine.

I agree with all of the non-bolded part.

It’s the bolded part that I disagree with.

Just imagine if someone had said:

“If Barack Obama has a Harvard law degree, he didn’t earn that. Somebody else made that happen.”

I don’t think you’ll get much argument there. The dildo has rocks in his head.

Exactly. No need to joke about it.

The cretin is dumb...period.

Evidently, Harvard had to lower its academic standards to even below Kennedy levels to let this idiot in.

I turns out Obama is talking about his own experience. He knows nothing else.

It’s all a way of convincing everyone that they need more government in their lives. They can’t function without government. They are too stupid to live, so they have to have government micromanage their existence from birth to death. Unfortunately, there are a number of people, including my own friends and relatives, who believe this. They can’t understand why I’m so opposed to the government controlling my life. They aren’t even smart enough to realize he just insulted them.

But, that IS true!

Well, it already looks like someone else made his birth certificate, Selective Service registration and his Social Security number happen!

The internet was created by BBN and Proteon as a Redundancy problem solver for DARPANET. Unix was developed with no knowledge of this. The ATEX messaging system was developed in a garage in 1980 before e-mail.

Proves he was projecting his own abject helplessness.

#####

And we know EXACTLY who that someone else is:

Elitist, self-hating, America destroying Communists who call themselves Democrats, and are the creators of arrogantly discriminatory, socially destructive, openly racist programs like Affirmative Action.

Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

Nope. Algore created the Internet so that he would have easier access to porn.

The whole paternalistic Communist approach to ‘government’ is an insult. It is also de-humanizing and oppressive. The Russian Revolution removed one uncaring, greedy and paternalistic Tsar and replaced him with one uncaring, greedy and paternalistic bureaucracy.

But, since American schools have chosen to rewrite the history books, each successive generation of voters swallows whole the Liberal lie that Communism is preferable to anything else.... never mind that there isn't a successful, stable, prosperous or wholesomely functional Communist nation on earth!!

1980. Before so many voters were even born.

God help us.

It WOULD be interesting to see The One’s grades, wouldn’t it?

There is a reason they are sealed. Mr. Obama is not too bright. In fact...looking back over his gaffs the MSM refuses to cover...it’s fair to say, he’s dumb.

Wonder what his SAT and LSATs were? His GPA? Like to see his senior thesis. Also, it would be nice to know how he got that Connecticut SS number. A state he’d never been to up to that time.

BTW...his long form birth cerificate was photo shopped in nine layers.

Is there anything REAL about this guy?

Well, I must respectfully disagree with:

"Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet."

No, actually brilliant individuals created the internet, with government financial support, to allow the easy sharing of technical/military research and improve it's efficiency. American entrepeneurs developed ways to make money from it. The government never had a clue the internet could be commercially exploitable.

They didn't "lose" their law licenses.

They just didn't bother to renew them when they expired, because both of them found more lucrative jobs (community organizer/community outreach director) that didn't require any actual work..
