Obama Says He “Regrets Syntax” Of “You Didn’t Build That” Remark…

How about that part where he belittles entrepreneurs for thinking they succeeded with their hard work and intelligence? As Obama tells it, lots of people work hard and lots of people are smart, so that’s not the reason for some lucky entrepreneurs’ success.

I’d like to see him walk back the syntax on that, but the press completely leaves this part out because it makes it clear that Obama meant exactly what he said about not building it.

“Our American system makes business success POSSIBLE, but WE are the ones who make things HAPPEN.”

In Obama’s America businesses exist to make money for the government to give to poor people and DemocRAT supporters. Which is only fair because Obama thinks poor people are the backbone of the country.

He should just say he acted “stupidly” like he accused that White Cop during the Beer Summit. lol

[Nevermore]

Yeah, I heard it in context, and I remember it VERY well as recited in Post 32.
Not only that, it shows his utter ignorance that "bein' smart" and "workin' hard" is ALL that it takes: nothing about the sacrifices and the risks - many of them DUE to Big Government - that someone faces in starting & running a business day-by-day.

All BO knows of "business" is failed investment swindles paid for with OPM: no skin off his nose when they go belly-up.
BO is Ignoramus-In-Chief.

Mrs. POF and I are talking more and more about leaving. Besides all the uber-liberal crap, the state has sunk to the bottom in finances. There’s no way the state will ever cure this $15B/year deficit problem. People and jobs are fleeing. What a total disaster.

“I’m always struck”

This statement right there tells you what Øbama really, really thinks about the entrepreneur class. He’s not even on the same planet as the US. Typical Marxist clap trap.

because everyone who was there watching knows exactly what I was saying.”

We all know, exactly, what you were saying, whether we were 'there' or not. It was played back in full context, and you meant EXACTLY what you said:

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.

TO OBAMA AND HIS MEDIA APPARATCHIK: THIS WAS NOT A 'SYNTAX' ERROR. It was exactly what he meant to say. If anything, a Freudian slip. He and you revealed too much in your arrogance.
