Lol @ Obama.

Another bleeding heart liberal. Honestly, I don't get offended over anything anyone says, ever. But when the president of the United States, who is in for 4 years, and hasn't built anything himself, goes and tells America that small business owners did not build their businesses, it rustles my goddamn jimmies. My father had two unsuccessful businesses, and scraped by to go on and run a successful business today. He worked 7 days a week when I was younger, with no employees other than himself establishing something that generally takes 5 or more employees. His body shop that he had as a first business, was him and his brother working 7 days a week, sometimes multiple days without sleep. His parts store business he started with a broken down bread truck that he built shelving in. If your president tries to take credit for doing anything in this nation and discredits business owners like my father who I know first hand built his business singlehandedly, I have no respect for him whatsoever.

repped for having such a dad, true inspiration to all libertarians

I guess somebody else worked for your 6 pack.

Apparantly you don't understand how the world actually works.

You guys who hate Obama so much are taking this out of context just as ammunition. It's fcking pathetic. Read the whole transcript and educate yourself before ranting off on your retarded hate crusades just because you don't like the guy. This is why America is so fcked up. People just want to throw blame and hate around while ignoring half the facts or viewing things out of context as long as it fits their short sighted objectives. ****ing please go.

The fact that the president had the audacity to even say that speaks volumes about his character and interest in free enterprise. I agree with your point as to why america is ****ed, but I found that entire speech to be sickening - not just the one ridiculous line. It was also hardly taken out of context, he nearly repeated it verbatim later in the speech; juxtaposing hardworking people who weren't wealthy, with those who were - ultimately claiming that, lucky for the wealthy guy, some other large group of people built his business (while such was not the case for our hard working middleclassman).

The other completely nauseating aspect of his ENTIRE speech, was that he was insinuating that the government built most everything (or was behind the scenes in everything) - in that same speech he boldly claimed that the government was largely responsible for the internet (a necessary instrument), the recourses businesses use, etc.

The US started small, farmers built their farms, industrial cities grew to support a different kind of demand, goods circulated, etc. Building something =/= taking raw elements in a chemistry experiment and coming out with a small business. It = taking the resources at your disposal and doing something that meets a current market demand - being successful is contingent upon that. If the "extremely hardworking employee" at Hess gas station was doing the former, he too would be successful.

So keep bitching about those words being taken out of context.


And someone had posted this earlier (speech/transcript)

No, it's liberal hippy *******s like you who think that they should get stuff handed to them just for being born.

There is no "out of context" when the man said those exact words.

Go research the fed and fiscal responsibility while you're at it, instead of your shortsighted goal of free shiet for you.

[Dr._S._Colbert]

in that same speech he boldly claimed that the government was largely responsible for the internet

By bold I assume you mean factual?

[DizzySmalls]

Collectivism, not even once

[PowerD]

And the position of president of the u.s. would not exist without the average joe forming militias to help seperate from England. How far does everyone want to take this?

> Need building for my business
> Hire builder to make my building
> My company starts doing really well
> Builder: "I made your building, thereby helping your company, so i deserve some of your monies"

I wouldn't consider their investing to = the brains behind it's creation. His strongest claim was still a fairly audacious one.

Mitt Romney: "I'm not concerned about the very poor".

People are poor by choice.

Anyone can be wealthy and have a good life if they put the time, effort, and heart into it. Yes, for someone who is literally below the poverty line it'll be very difficult to say receive a good education and pay for it, but if that was REALLY their goal they would be up all night studying and reading books so they could qualify for scholarships and gain admission to a great school.

See: Poor homeless girl who got a scholarship to Harvard due to her grades.

People only deserve welfare, or any other form of financial aid if they're honestly already putting forth effort on their end of the stick.

If someone is begging for financial aid of any form of welfare, and they're poor, but they're not doing anything to already help themselves then I couldn't give a rats ass about their problems.

Inb4 haters.

[scotchchris]

1. He didn't use a bracket.
2. He used a slash.
3. His use of a slash in no way insinuates that the two concepts are the same.
4. Negged.

What? I didnt mean bracket as is parentheses

Repping on recharge. I can't explain how many people I know and have met who won't take a job because welfare pays more. Absolutely enraging.

Yeah.....our evolution created it for us.

We simply trained the muscle and burned the fat for them to grow and become visible.

LoL

I like how the majority of conservative posters ITT are using logic while the liberals simply resort to insults.

Typically, I don't like to categorize conservative/liberal as I think a moderate view can definitely be appropriate for some of the issues (also, people typically use/manipulate the terms to insult) - however, how people can directly, and strongly side with Obama on this baffles me.

Sorry brah, but that girl who studied for hours and sacrificed many things to get ahead in life didn't actually do it. Someone else did.
