Obama needs a history lesson on business and the US
By John Lott

According to President Obama, his administration has been pro-business, indeed one of the most pro-business administrations ever. Yet, on Friday, in Roanoke, Virginia, Obama admonished those opposed to higher taxes on business: "If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen."
What a slap in the face to all those Americans who built successful businesses. And Obama wonders why businesses are afraid to invest, when he uses such rhetoric.
Obama, during his presidency, regularly has called Wall Street executives “fat cats,” bondholders “speculators,” and accuses doctors of giving patients unnecessary and harmful surgery.
He has regularly blamed private companies rather than the government for the financial crisis. Indeed, the only blame he gives to the federal government is that there wasn’t enough regulation.
Even for liberal New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg Obama's attacks have at times been too much: “[Obama’s] bashing of Wall Street is something that should worry everybody.”
CNN's Anderson Cooper summarized Obama's campaign so far: "Basically the Obama campaign wants to paint Romney as this greedy, out of touch rich guy, whose company Bain Capital closed factories and killed jobs just to make a quick buck."
Trade has been become a major issue in the campaign, with Obama taking the most extreme position and demonized so-called "outsourcing" of jobs. One wonders how many people in the Obama administration use iPhones that were assembled in China, and how many of them would be ready to pay the price had the iPhone been assembled in the United States. Sometimes it is better for American companies to outsource some jobs and keep the company going than to lose out to foreign competitors.

Obama’s Community Orginizer education just doesn’t cut it.
Boama hands $Billions over to his buddies and thinks that is how business is formed and thinks the FED has an endless supply for his waste.
IMO, he knows EXACTLY what he is doing. Keyword=reparations.
No amount of education will undo the brain washing he has gotten his entire life. He is totally communist and will never change. He despises business, and has even referred to it as ‘the enemy’. He is only going to get worse as his time grows short. If it looks as though he will lose the election in November, the Executive Orders will be ‘Fast & Furious’................
The only lesson he needs to learn is the one he is going to get on 11-6.
Until then, by all means, keep spewing stupitities.
He’s totally Marxist and will remain in that condition. His only driving force is his hatred of American success.......................
No...Obama needs a one-way ticket back to Kenya.
I have to agree with Nobama on this one. I’ve read of several cases of fraud in the Medicare system where people have walked away with millions. This could not happen unless the guberment is lax and inept at running programs. Welfare fraud is highly profitable also.
The only problem with his speech is now every welfare recepient will expect the guberment to set them up in a multimillion dollar company.
"Historical revisionism is conducted to influence a target’s ideology and/or politics for a particular purpose. Revisionists understand Plato’s dictum that, “those who tell the stories also hold the power.”[7] Sometimes the purpose is as innocent as wanting to sell more books or attract attention with a startling headline.[8] Often, however, that purpose is to achieve a nation’s aims by transferring war guilt, demonizing an enemy, providing an illusion of victory, or preserving friendship.[9] James McPherson, President of the American Historical Association in 2003, wrote that some would want revisionist history understood as, “a consciously falsified or distorted interpretation of the past to serve partisan or ideological purposes in the present.”[10] Broadly understood, there are two motivations behind revisionist history: the ability to control ideological influence and to control political influence."
THOSE WHO SEE AND UNDERSTNAD HIS GOAL OF A COMMUNIST STATE OF OBAMA! Must act!
I knew that LONG before he became the candidate, and wasn't fooled for a second by the faux Greco-Roman colums and his "cutsie" kids, and Oprah rapturously wetting herself.
If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. - Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmmm
It is the worker that sustains all industry. Workers are the true owners of all industry yet receive none of the profits - Karl Mark (w/ Engels)
Why doesn’t the RNC make this comparison publicly?
“If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
This is the type of rhetoric people of little accomplishment use.
“If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
Right!
• Someone ELSE got up at 4:00 a.m. everyday
• Someone ELSE agonized of profit and loss statements
• Someone ELSE routinely stayed late and arrived early
• Someone ELSE got the 3:00 a.m. phone calls when the roof leaked, etc.
• Someone ELSE gave up quality time with their kids
• Someone ELSE gave up a vacation
• Someone ELSE lost sleep over deadlines
• Someone ELSE took risks, gambled with their future, domestic life and income
• Someone ELSE let the bank beat him/her up every time they asked for a loan
And on, and on, and on……
One more time folks:
Creator makes man
Man makes states
States makes constitution and federal government
Rights flow in that direction.
The federal government was created to serve the people and the states.
It’s just one outrage after another from the fraudulent, anti-American, Campaigner-in-Chief. If this nakedly revealed disgrace is re-elected, the country (that is; the majority in it)will truly deserve what it gets.
And that will be nothing compared to what he'll be if re-elected.
