He learned it when his mentor-daddy Frank Marshall Davis was on his knees in front of Barry

“If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that.”

Funny, I don't remember anybody else working 60 hours a week, 52 weeks a year just to "stay even". It's exhausting in every sense of the word. I don't need lectures from a President who spends his weekends on the golf course while his wife & kIds travel the world on the taxpayers' dime.

If you remember how Hawaii refused to certify Obama’s eligibility and Pelosi nearly had a fit so she took it upon herself to sign documents to confirm him (without verification), Obama’s whole Presidency may have been a coup.

Listen to President Frank Marshall Davis spout out his Marxist communist doctrine but, don’t call him a communist/sarcasm.

I will not enable a Marxist communist to have four more years to finish destroying our country and constitution from WITHIN.

Every time he opens his unscripted mouth he proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that “The Bell Curve” was right. About the only thing “The Bell Curve” may have missed was the magnitude of the difference. It is much greater than reported.

I am beginning to think that we are watching Axlerod’s version of ‘Shock and Awe’. They know that 43% of the electorate will vote for the Dear Leader regardless. Forget the so-called ‘independents’ who ostensibly recoil at negative campaigning...they are gambling they can grab enough low information voters to put them over the line. Since these voters are not paying attention Obama can do or say practically anything. This freedom enables the regime to launch a barrage of initiatives, statements and accusations at Romney to overwhelm his campaign’s ability to respond effectively. Every day it is something new; the thesis that entrepreneurs can do nothing on their own, the gutting of welfare to work, the ‘felon’ thing. All this in just a week and I have probably left out a few. Any thoughts?

The government never built anything without small business tax dollars collected by some means.

Not only is he an idiot, but he can't even come up with his own material. He stole this line from the dime store Injun Elizabeth Warren. She has been making the pinko commies swoon with this line for over a year.

Indeed, I don’t believe he was ever eligible, but that’s been effectively covered up.

However, I don’t see how he can cover up losing an election and refusing to leave office. It will be pretty obvious to even the most casual observer.

It’s not only the greed but the power they gain by being able to control entrepreneurs through their taxation and bureaucratic meddling. They think that proves them to be superior to the businessman who “labors”, while they play in politics.

It’s not just covetousness, it’s slavery.

When entrepreneurs DAILY risk and lose their OWN money investing IN or expanding ON their business, they bear all the responsibility and take all the losses, the employees and government are NOT the losers!

Entrepreneurs risk all to win (which benefits their employees share)... or they lose all (which losses employees do NOT share in).

Whatever hurts or impedes entrepreneurs hurts and impedes the economy (read: employees).

It ain't rocket science!!

My God, he sounds like Elisabeth Warren. What the hell is wrong with his teleprompter? He was supposed to keep this truth a scret until “after” he is reelected.

Street hustling is the only way Obama knows to make money, or steal it from those businesses he so loves to condemn.
The infrastructure that he tries to take credit for was built with the taxes from thousands of small businesses and the taxpayers to whom they provide jobs.

No damn wonder he’s screwed up the economy so badly, he hasn’t a clue as to how it works.

He’s lived his life with unfettered access to government (our) money, so just like his gang of idiot supporters he thinks government is some endless ATM and he has the debit card.

Seems politicians are afraid of the backlash if they cut the freebies, but the blind fools don’t see the “front lash” of the demise of Democracy by letting it continue.

Right is right, tough decisions have to be made, regardless of the consequences. Sitting on your thumb and singing “Kumbaya” is not going to save America.

Will America melt into a distant memory because the people of the “land of the brave” are chicken-hearted?

America needs “open heart surgery”, sure, it’ll hurt for a little while, but she will be a whole lot better when she heals. Or maybe the complacency of her people will condemn her to a “death panel”.

It was pretty obvious that Congress was not in recess when he said they were too.

Anyways, I don't mean he'll try to hide his defeat. That would be impossible.

He'll just simply refuse to step aside. Perhaps blame the Republicans for his defeat. Accuse the winner of being a "felon", claim that illegal tactics were used during the campaign or simply say he's staying because "It's the right thing to do. Too many Americans still suffer as a result of the previous administration. We just simply cannot afford to return to the Bush era"

Think about it. If Obama were to step down on Jan 20th 2013 (if he loses) it would be the first legal move he had made since becoming President almost 4 years ago.

Problem is, this rings true to a very important (at least in their own minds...) group: CEOs and Board Members of established corporations.

They DIDN’T build the business and they know it. The just inherited from someone else, who might have inherited from the folks who did build the business. Obama’s declaration a potentially successful guilt trip on these folks.

Okay, Pres O, everyone has the same infrastructure, so why doesn’t everyone have their own business.? Hmmm?

His premise is ludicrous. Look at the success of companies like Microsoft and Apple...what did the government do to create them?? Obama was steeped in socialism and anti-capitalism and sees the world through a Marxist lens.

Obama's got a few more terms ahead of him. Perhaps decades. That's what he thinks. That's why he's careless about these things he's saying.

Absolutely!

Most people are thinking about the 2012 elections...Obama is thinking about the Revolution.

He has no plans to step down.

What in the He## is he talking about.. I am a poster boy of the Entrepreneurial experience..

I wouldn’t have had to have any other reasons for caution, about expansion of my plant, production, equipment or labor force than what this jerk had already done in the past 3+ years, and what he still says are his priorities..

My company, primarily was the hospitality industry, restaurants and hotels, always provided limited healthcare, in our benefit package.. That was a decision based on competitive advantage for a higher qualification of our employee, experience and leadership needs..

I wasn’t born with any hereditary, or financial advantages, except my American birthright, with our constitutional right of the Pursuit of Happiness, and other enumerating freedoms..

If I had the defeatist, liberal mindset, I wouldn’t have even tried to better myself.. Pi$$ on Him and his loser concepts..
