Georgia lumberyard owner hammers Obama on 'You didn't build that'

President Obama's message to entrepreneurs that "you didn't build that" prompted one Georgia business owner to respond with a not-so-subtle retort.

"I built this business without gov't help. Obama can Kiss my ass," reads the sign outside Gaster Lumber & Hardware in Savannah, Ga. Owner Ray Gaster posted that and two similar ones at all three of his company's locations in response to Obama's comments during a speech to supporters in Virignia, which struck a nerve with small business owners around the nation.

Bravo!!!

Obama didn’t build America, but he is hell bent on destroying it...

[CORedneck]

LOL, I like the message and the last line too !

[SandRat]

This man’s sign is super.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

I’ll have the chicken sandwich with a side of 2x4’s.

[Principled]

Go Georgia small bus!

[Bigun]

WOW!

A fellow Vietnam vet unafraid to say what’s on his mind!

I LOVE it!

[cableguymn]

Try the 1X2’s... they go down a little easier.

Bump & Ping

[woodbutcher1963]

This picture started circulating through the lumber industry on Monday. By yesterday I had received it at least three times. It has gone viral since then.

God Bless Ray Gaster and America

[PGR88]

Let’s see if he gets audited by the IRS soon.

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo!! Way to go, Ray!!

Obama can kiss my ass too!! The gov’t sure as hell didn’t build this small business (FR)!!

[ShadowAce]

I love it--but the DUmmies think it's hilarious since he used "government trees" to make the sign.

What idiots

[Mister Anderson]

A picture is worth a thousand words.

[jazusamo]

God Bless Ray Gaster for speaking out, there are millions with him.

[Le Chien Rouge]

How the media, academia, and Hollywood will label Ray Gaster:

1) GREEDY for NOT sharing profits

2) MEAN SPIRITED for NOT paying his share of taxes

3) ANGRY for protesting against the government(if this was 5 years ago and he was saying this about BUSH, he’s be celebrated )

4) UNCARING for NOT spreading the wealth

5) HOMOPHOBIC just because he is straight

6) SEXIST just because he is a male

7) CHRISTIAN RADICAL because he MAY just have a Bible in his work office.

8) TEA-BAGGER

9) UNENLIGHTENED for not understanding that without government, businesses could never develop!

10) and of course,A RACIST for daring to disagree with a black politician.

Here is another report that our congresscritters and the MSM will ignore:

[woodbutcher1963]

Idiots is correct.

More likely the 4x4 pressure treated in his sign were probably grown in the state of Ga on a tree farm owned by Georgia Pacific, Canfor, Gilman, or any one of dozens of private companies growning and processing southern yellow pine.

Georgia Pacific hasn’t owned any trees for about 10 years or so, we sold all of the acreage to Plum Creek.

Those who are able, please support businesses like this. I know I will.

Now off to Chik-Fil-A

[chrisser]

The sad reality is government, at virtually every level, is the greatest impediment to starting and building a succesful business.

Even if Obama’s assertion were true, it completely ignores the obstacles government (and, often, the community at large) puts in the way of success.

[woodbutcher1963]

I stand corrected.

Plum Creek bought the timber. Koch bought the mills. Blue Linx got the distribution centers.

[Repeal The 17th]

There were a whole lot of details in between, but that is a fair summary...

[Lady Jag]

Support FR and the truth

Henry Ford built it.
He built 1.1/5 million cars before there were any roads.
Using Obama Logic, Henry Ford Built the USA
And Obama has still done diddly squat but rob us all.

[RedMDer]

BUMP!

If Obama was 100% constipated and had to carve a prying stick to survive a gastro intestinal catastrophy resulting in death, he “ couldn’t build ( even) that!”

KUDOS to Gaster!
