President Obama unwittingly defined himself as clueless about business in Roanoke late last week:
If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.
And of course, since you did nothing to build your business, it belongs to "the people" -- along with any wealth or profit derived from it. Pretty much what Lenin had to say about the matter, if you recall.
The president is obviously clueless about what it takes to start a business from scratch, having never done anything remotely like that, since his career has consisted entirely of suckling at the government teat.

Absolutely right.
As this assclown gets off teleprompter, we should be treated to many more of these unwitting revelations about his worldview.
This from the post turtle who has had everything given to him because he is half Black. Affirmative Action has dragged the U.S.A. down, just as the Left planned.
All of the people cheering Obama had roads and bridges and teachers and mentors too. So where are their businesses and employees? Or are they just a bunch of SLACKERS?
Hmmm.. Why did we build bridges and roads to begin with? Sounds to me like roads and bridges are the problem. /s
Obama must be referring to the fact that in order for you to be successful, some federal regulator HAD TO GET OUT OF THE WAY.
Which he is parsing to mean, “made that happen”.
So!
Anytime you have any measure of success, you should be thankful for the regulator, who didn’t stop you....
Spoken like a true Affirmative Action president.
The quote here is bad, and a good short quote for print, but listening totus entire soundbite from the stump is even more damning. The pure hatred and condescension for successful people has never been more evident.
“I am always struck by people who think ‘well, it must be cause I am just so smart’”
Pure hatred and condescension for productive Americans.
Sounds like his work.
What galls me more than anything that this ghetto communist street thug grifting looter Obama said was that he does not even understand that the govt cant spend any money without first extorting it from the private sector first!
FUBO!!!!
The result there was starvation, and destruction of the country.........
We built roads and bridgers because Henry Ford inventd a gadget caalled an “automobile”
or maybe the slaves did that
Sounded like Jeremiah Wright
event the crowd murmuring “Yassuh” between each cadence of his powerful “black preacher” speech
He obviously took notes for those years of sitting in front of the Rev-rund
But, but - if someone else makes everything happen, how can the kids today feel good about all the self-esteem trophies and inflated grades they’ve been honored with?
“It Takes a Village”- Hillary Clinton-— obama and hillary= “birds of a feather”
If you have an affirmative action-provided law degree, you didn’t do that; someone else made it happen.
I'd wager most of those people cheering were among those who pay no federal income tax.
The irony is unbearable.
