Given his accompanying statements -- "you didn't get there on your own," etc. -- that is an absurd construction. But even if that's what he meant, why would he have felt compelled to point out that businesses don't succeed without access to roads and bridges? Do roads and bridges not connect the population to failed businesses?

And those bridges and roads were built by private companies funded by the TAXPAYERS the government collected the taxes

Obama knows what he’s doing...he’s appealing to the ignorati...the tens of millions of dopes who know all the latest entertainment idols but couldn’t tell you the name of their congressman or woman. He’s hoping there’s a lot more ignoramuses out there than intelligent voters. Four years ago he was right.

Minus the HUGE overhead known as the government.

I think I heard they send out 50-60 cents of every dollar they skim off the productive class.

What Obama meant to say was “The Collective built your business therefore the Collective owns it. For now we will allow you to run it, but we will tell you how to run it, what kind of insurance to carry and what kind of regulations to follow. For our great help in making your business profitable, we will take a good portion of those profits to build other businesses.”

Obama's desperate protests that his anti-business rant was taken out of context

Translated: pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. . . .

“Why would any American president be inclined to think or talk this way?”

Uh, because he’s not AMERICAN.

"Obama doesn't have to fool all the people all the time -- just enough to win the swing states"

Considering the real swing states are those I have listed below, then he couldn't have picked a worse meme to campaign on.

"I could sell you any bridge (or road)"

"You, you didn't build that!"

In Obama’s book he recalled the time he worked for a commercial business. He defines that time as “when I was working for the enemy.” But, I guess if that would get the same attention and repeating as his recent “You didn’t build that,” comment...he would say those words were also “taken out of context.” The more he spins, the deeper he digs himself into the ground.

Because he believes the hole was “shovel ready” to begin with...

And they never, ever admit they are wrong for digging that hole...
