"Spoken by a man who never created or ran so much as a candy store," syndicated columnist and FOX News contributor Charles Krauthammer said in response to >a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/07/15/obama_if_youve_got_a_business_you_didnt_build_that_someone_else_made_that_happen.html">President Obama criticizing individual achievements in business this weekend. "And it's completely a straw man argument as if conservatives and Republicans are arguing to disband the fire department and the police department so we could all individually do it on our own. The idea that infrastructure is necessary and good is as old as the republic. It's older than that. The Romans had the Via Appia, and that wasn't exactly a new idea. And they had sewers as well. The question is what are you doing with the money when you build the infrastructure?"
"You heard Obama talking about the moonshot. This was not on that clip, but in that speech. He went through a list of the great achievements that the government has done, the moonshot. Well, Obama is the guy who shut down the moon program, the manned space program so that today we have to outsource our access into space for any American astronaut who wants to go to the space station we have to pay the Russians $50 million a shot," Krauthammer said on the "Special Report" panel tonight.

Krauthammer On Obama's Speech Attacking Business: "Spoken By A Man Who Never Created Or Ran So Much As A Candy Store"
Whoever is writing Obama’s speeches for him is determined to make him appear as the dumbest person in any room. Success will be its own reward.
Rev. Manning - The only thing Obama ever ran was his mouth.
New hit song: “We Didn’t Build This City...”
Brit Hume had an even better smash mouth editorial.
I hope someone finds the transcript to that.
Starring Barack Obama on the "You're Nothing Special Tour".
I agree. It appears he is trying to piss off everyone and look stupid at the same time. He either knows something or he is delusional.
Looks like only unpissable left are the half blacks and half smart. .....aaaaand media whores on Soros payroll
And not yet one mention about this by the LSM.
.
Bottom line is the left has no valid arguments left, hasn’t for some time. So they keep building straw men and knocking them down. To some degree the public’s starting to see through it.
The problem for the USA is that his mouth is what 50% of the people take refuge in. Someone needs to get to Romney’s people and make them/him understand that a big and eloquent(?) mouth does not in Obamas’ case means a better Nation for even them.
His speechwriters are masters of subterfuge, smoke and mirrors. This reveals Obama as a huckster, a scam artist to anyone who is engaged and informed.
A great example, from memory, he claimed, in the recent "no successful person ever became so through his own efforts" speech, he claimed to have reduced spending by a trillion$, and was looking at another 1.2 trillion$...
What he did NOT say, is that these were phony numbers, not based on reductions from the previous budget, but simply eliminations of proposed future increases. So he can propose an increase in entitlements of 10 trillion$ next year, reduce it to 5 trillion$
AND CLAIM A REDUCTION OF 5 TRILLION$!
THAT IS PLAINLY SHUCKSTERISM AND FRAUD, IF SPOKEN BY ANYONE ELSE.
We are close, but not yet a nation of total morons.
Wait till Krauthammer picks up on the “bonehead” statement. It ought to be a real riot.
Spoken by a man who never created or ran so much as a candy store lemonaide stand
BTTT!
