Their position is that Obama was taken out of context. Perhaps the paper would like to hear some more opinions.

Hussein's flicking of the middle finger at entrepreneurs merely revealed his Collectivist mindset.
Not sure why the paper wants to defend that.

Just shows that anyone can rise up to be president, even a street hustler with someone giving him $1B for a campaign.

Now you know why the mediaWHORES held off for four or five days from reporting the historical gaffe! They were punished for rushing too quickly with the TAX line news report from Roberts. They were admonished and reprimanded to keep silent until they could figure out a way to spin and do damage control. Gosh I hate these pukes!!

James Taranto does a great job ripping this defense to shreds: The Team then explains: "The President's full remarks show that the 'that' in 'you didn't build that' clearly refers to roads and bridges--public infrastructure we count on the government to build and maintain."
That's bunk, and not only because "business" is more proximate to the pronoun "that" and therefore its more likely antecedent. The Truth Team's interpretation is ungrammatical. "Roads and bridges" is plural; "that" is singular. If the Team is right about Obama's meaning, he should have said, "You didn't build those."
Barack Obama is supposed to be the World's Greatest Orator, the smartest man in the world. Yet his campaign asks us to believe he is not even competent to construct a sentence.

Take a look at what appeared yesterday in the Chicago Tribune. Even the Liberal Rag, The Charlotte Observer, picked it up this morning.

It was businesses first, then roads and bridges. Why build roads and bridges if there’s no businesses to use them?

Lets go out on a limb and say that is what Obama was TRYING to say.
Those business owners paid the taxes (both PERSONAL and BUSINESS) to build those roads, so YES THEY DID BUILD THAT!
Their businesses brought employees and consumers to the area to pay TAXES that paid for those, so he is still WRONG and CLUELESS!

Don’t forget-in the same speech, he mocked successful people for “thinking they’re smarter,” and that they “worked harder,” to which Obama said there are “a lot of smart people” who also “ work hard.” When you put all of that together, it’s clear he meant to cut success down completely, not give credit to government’s “contribution.”
