You have one goal, millions of dollars
for you from the stupid suckers

Republicans fired back Monday after President Obama suggested business owners owe their success to government investment, with Mitt Romney's campaign calling the remark "insulting."
The president made the comment Friday during a speech to supporters in Roanoke, Va. Arguing that business owners got help from others along the road to success and suggesting they should pay more in taxes in return, he said: "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul told FoxNews.com on Monday that the remarks "reflect just how unqualified he is to lead us to a real economic recovery."
"They are also insulting to the hardworking entrepreneurs, small-business owners, and job creators who are the backbone of our economy," she said in an email.

Just pathetic. This clown needs to go. Another 4 years of this and we are doomed. Obama is a total idiot.
Actually, it proves that Obama is terminally stupid ~ it's amazing he can walk and swallow simultaneously. And sure, his CRP is insulting to businessmen, but get this Mitt, it's insulting to ALL AMERICANS, even his two rented daughters and his wife!
This sort of thing continues to distance Romney from Ronald Reagan ~ he'd always take the side of the American people ~ Romney persists in narrowing the focus down to "businessmen" That's as bad as Obama's references to "The middle class" when everybody knew he meant dues paying member of the teacher's union!
Be nice for this country to get a president someday who puts America and Americans first!
They need to respond to Obama within minutes, or at least in the same news cycle, not a day late (and an election short).
He's an idealogue. He hates both individualism and entrepreneurs.
the obvious thing to do is romney get out there with camera and crew in states like Virginia, Ohio, NC, Florida, walk up to business owners and say “obama says you didn’t do this alone- is there something you’d like to say to that??”....
there would be enough material for four months worth of ads...

We needed a war time Presidential candidate and we got a Wally Cox.
We know his type, and frankly, he does not work well with others.
He’s stupid.
I agree with zero! Let's start with GM, BofA, Morgan Stanley, the "green" energy companies, etc. who received taxpayer bailouts paying higher taxes until those bailouts are paid back.
“insulting to business owners”...
wow, what a zinger. Obama just blatantly revealed his depraved, America-destroying, Marxist-collectivist worldview for one and all to see! Bitter clingers, part two. Yet, the response is that, um, this was “insulting to business owners.” Good grief. Could things be more dispiriting this election cycle? It just gets worse and worse.
“Insulting.” Ooh. That hurts.
This guy has no clue what he’s in for. Someone better wake up in Boston.
Thanks tobyhill.
No, he’s diabolical.
We have the first flavor running against the second flavor to be president.
This is just wrong I tell you, wrong!
Don't believe Obama is a zombie...I believe he's a hard-core philosophical socialist if not commie who is driven by his own ideas (not someone else's) to overturn the Judeo-Christian institutions we have in the US.
As far as the 2nd flavor is concerned, I know it's common these days to think of CEO's as clueless and no doubt there's some of those as in any profession but I tend to think a large number of them have something going on upstairs.
What a wimpy response!
Hey, all you unemployed. You were helped along the way by Pres. Obama’s policies. You got shafed by the “stimulus” because you weren’t Union or Govt. Worker. You got shafted by the Pres because that business down the street didn’t want to hire until it was clear what ObamaCare would tax them, or the regulators regulate them, or the banks willing to loan a few bucks to keep the business going.
Yes, all you unemployed, you were helped by others in this Administration.
Hope you remember who helped you into poverty.
I should know this by now.. When a republican sends an email demanding something.. what comes next? a printed letter or a phone call?
Go a pair Romney.. Your not going to win nipping at Obama’s ankles.
