Obama the Socialist/Communist has not mentioned that Government has no money to do anything without taxes It is our taxes both state and federal that built the roads, bridges, tunnels, schools, etc. Mr. Obama....American Taxes are responsible for what you say we aren't......however without jobs, there are fewer and fewer tax dollars to work for us.....I imagine you are aware of that fact but just don't want a Capitalist free society getting in your way of collective control of the citizens of America.

Mitt Romney's campaign kept up the drumbeat of criticism Thursday over President Obama's "you didn't build that" gaffe

Finally, Romney shows some fight and does something right.

I predict we'll hear the MSM use the term "piling on" in connection with Romney's attack on "you didn't build that" by this weekend. You heard it here first.

Meh. Let them.

The Olympics start Friday so no one is going to give two bits about their whining.

Actually I’m a bit swayed in favor of Obama’s “out of context” argument vis a vis his “You didn’t build it ...” comment. Not completely, but a bit.

It is very possible that he uttered an ungrammatical statement (”that” instead of “those”) and he really meant that Steve Jobs et al didn’t build those roads and bridges.

But ... That’s just too bad Obama. You are now stuck with your own foolish statement which, out of context or not, fits like a glove with the rest of your anti-business rhetoric from the same speech.

Politics is a tough business. You have to be careful and not make big mistakes. It can cost you an election.

I’d like to put together a “You didn’t build that” expose ala “All your base are belong to us.”

Governor Romney, keep hitting this point and NEVER relent! 0Bamma’s shown his ideology, and true Americans need to see that the Emperor has no clothes, and no integrity!

Context, context, context.

Then why is it, that many leave out the beginning sentences?

“.....look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own.

I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)

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.

The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.”

Hannity just played this EXACTLY!!! Good for you Sean.

It's not JUST:

“If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that.”

It's:

1. “look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own.”

2. “You didn’t get there on your own.”

3. “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that.”

4. “Somebody else made that happen.”

All four are complete sentences ending with a period. For you nitpickers, in the first broken sentence, Obama changed thoughts mid stream and this new thought starts with the word “look”.

I didn’t realize that this was from the same speech as the “you didn’t build that” speech.

“THE PRESIDENT: Now, before I finish, can I say, by the way, that some of you have been standing for a while and I see a couple folks slumping down a little bit. Make sure you’re drinking water. Bend your knees. Don’t stand up too straight. The paralegals will be — the paralegals? (Laughter.) You don’t need lawyers. (Laughter.) The paramedics will be coming by, so just give folks a little bit of room, they’ll be fine. This happens at every event.”

Obambo and his minions can holler all they want. It’s already too late. They can’t get that toothpaste back in the tube. That statement will go down in history as his political epitaph.

My husband works 14 hours or so on a not too busy day. When he is busier at work, he works 14 hours then comes home and works at his computer till he about falls out of the chair, sleepy. He travels cross country from his local office to his office that is 1800 miles away. He works his ass off and he has done this at his job for 39 years. I have lost any respect for Barack Obama that I might have still had, IF I had any! I can’t wait to get this arse clown out of the White House! What a creep! Maybe HE has never worked hard, but my husband, my son, my daughter, my son in law, all work VERY VERY Hard! Hard work is what made America great, not WELFARE CHECKS

And he said a Teacher helped you along the way. Well WHO does he thinks pays for Teachers and Schools? Here it is property taxes and we don’t have any kids in school! He drives me nuts.
