Obama calls 'you didn't build that' furor 'bogus,' as Romney releases new ad

President Obama, one week after his controversial "you didn't build that" remark, claimed Friday that the criticism he's taking from Republicans is "bogus."

Though Republicans say the president was implying that business owners didn't build their businesses, Obama said he was just talking about roads and bridges.

“What I said was together we build roads and we build bridges.”

For a chronic and natural liar, you’d think he would come up with something more creative.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Maybe this will punch his ticket out of the White House.

[scooby321]

Damn too bad the people who invented video with the help og the Government caught Obama lying

[SMARTY]

“O” has diarrhea of the mouth, so he can't govern his own tongue.... from one hour to the next he doesn't know what he's talking about, he's clueless and shows it!

[jeffc]

So the President of the United States is calling what I care about “bogus”? Gee, how so liberal of him!

[jersey117]

That’s not what he meant. His exact words were “if you have a busines you didn’t build that”. It was a totally separate sentence from the roads and bridges comment. And he shouted it in a quite an angry tone.

Roll tape!

His exact words were “if you have a busines you didn’t build that”. It was a totally separate sentence from the roads and bridges comment.

...another problem for Obama here is that in the same angry tirade, he said something like..."you think you did this because you were smart and worked hard...a lot of people are smart and work hard". Ugly, ugly words that don't support the roads and bridges meme...but exactly support the "you didn't build your business" meme.

Zero picked a bad time to go off his teleprompter addiction.

If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Someone else made it happen.

As far as I know, the word "business" has never been a synonym of "road" or "bridge".

[KMG365]

“The private sector is doing fine” and “You didn’t build that” were Obama speaking what he really thought, not reading what was on the TOTUS.

The underlying theme of both statements is that government is responsible for the success of this nation.

[SMARTY]

Yup...the State is everything ... individuals are NOTHING!

[going hot]

Well, unless, the business is road or bridge building.

[Sir Napsalot]

YES, please.

Mr. President, keep telling me my anger is ‘bogus’, and you didn’t say what you said.

IOW, keep digging.

[going hot]

Google CC myers.

[MrB]

“You didn’t build that”...

hmm, the previous nouns were “roads and bridges [that gov’t built]” and “small business [that you own]”...

which, grammatically, makes more sense?

“That small business that you own”
or
“That roads and bridges that gov’t built”?

It’s not flying, Barry... you’re a commie, and the curtain slipped aside for a moment in front of a friendly audience.

[MrB]

Mussolini:

All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.

Yep, Barry’s a fascist.

[Smedley]

Roll tape on endless loop

Though Republicans say the president was implying that business owners didn't build their businesses, Obama said he was just talking about roads and bridges.

Let's look at what Mr. Soetoro 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," he said.

Now obviously, if Barry the Boob had in fact been talking about roads and bridges, he would not have said "You didn't build that."

Barry, being the highly evolved Harvard man he claims to be, would have instead said, in reference to roads and bridges (plural, in both cases), "You didn't build those."

His effort to "clarify" his utterance is transparently deceptive. It is completely clear from his usage that he was referring to "business" (singular) when he used the word "that."

All that aside, his ill-reasoned remarks completely overlook the fact that the business owner (whom Barry thinks did not build his or her business) never actually contributed to the tax base that built the road in front of the business, a patently absurd notion if ever there was one. It's almost as if Barry the Boob thinks that these businessmen flashed into economically successful existence in the twinkling of an eye, without ever having been a contributing part of the larger economy before they built their successful enterprise.

Truly...we have a sniveling moron in the Oval Office.
