Deli owner caters for Obama wearing Romney T Shirt

Ross Murty likes business, but he doesn't like President Obama.

And so the co-owner of the Village Corner Deli here agreed to cater Obama's visit Wednesday — but not before donning a T-shirt blaring the message: "Government didn't build my business. I did."

It was a reference to a remark Obama made several weeks ago that his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, has seized upon to portray Obama as anti-business. Obama, referring to the help government provides to businesses by building roads and providing education and other services, said, "If you've got a business — you didn't build that."

"No one from the government was there when we were sweating it, when we were building this business," Murty said.

From the article: 'Obama, referring to the help government provides to businesses by building roads and providing education and other services, said, "If you've got a business — you didn't build that."'

I don't believe that O was "referring to the help government provides to businesses by building roads and providing education and other services".

Why would Roger print that opinion?

I’m amazed the guy is in business if his partner is a Democrat. In fact, I bet his partner caused this spectacle, so that he can take over the business for himself. Also, this event will probably lead to the arrest or assassination of him for disrupting the liberal agenda.

Oh, they were there alright.....standing in the way making sure you met the latest code compliance, had all the proper permits, paid all the right amount of tax, paid a little more tax to be "fair," etc

Ross understands: “If I build it, customers will come.”

Paraphrased from the movie “Field of Dreams” and the ever familiar American Dream: “To become a Millionaire or a Billionaire, in spite of the damned US Federal Government.”

I hope he got the cash upfront or waited til the check cleared. Otherwise he’ll never see a dime.

Hmmmm....that's the big Rat talking point, and I'm seeing it in all of the local and National news papers, including the commie Roanoke Times which reported on the Radford baker. Obama also has his online trolls posting the "out of context" line in every news comment board they can find. I see it everywhere, but it ain't working.

OK, let’s get pedantic. The government doesn’t build the infrastructure. You see the people working, trucks and other equipment all belong to private firms contracted by the government. All the government did was take money from taxpayers to hire private industry. So, 0bama, “You” in government didn’t build that, we The People did.

May not have anyway. The Obama people are not known for paying their debts. They probably think that they should be satisfied with having had the great privileged to served their supposed demigod, who is, of course, actually a demagogue.

There is a picture out there somewhere of him in his shirt that hopefully will be posted on this thread.

I find the "out of context" lie quite interesting because the lib-scum have been telling us this is the smartest guy EVAH! in politics.

And yet, he can't state his meaning clearly?
