In a small way, he has a point. ALL endeavors are based on past achievements. ALL, except perhaps the very first few in man's history.

That said, he's full of crap otherwise, because generation of a business takes a man or woman, a vision, bravery, and hard work. A business is NOT otherwise created by government, and it does NOT spontaneously arise.

So, Obama is maybe 2% right.... and 98% WRONG.

Obumbler channeling Isaac Newton (who has never heard of) is appalling. The correct quotation is “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

Obastard thinks the “giant” is government. Nothing could be further from the truth.

"2%"

Yes, we exist and have thumbs and everything. If not for those facts we'd not exist nor have thumbs. Guess what? If no one harnessed electricity then we'd harness it now.

The only 2% in play is the 2% you've bought in to Zero's BS.

Pretty weak take, Laz.

The things he refers to are available to all Americans. However, only those who get off their asses and do something with their lives are the ones with whom he has a problem.

[CodeToad]

He is 100% wrong. Public roads, utilities, etc., create an infrastructure with an equal opportunity to build a business but in no way does a business spontaneously arise from that infrastructure.

Not true at all....Paradigm shift etc......thinking outside the box....Dr. Edward de Bono and Lateral Thinking.....
