Title: Obama - 'If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen'

President Barack Obama addressed supporters in Roanoke, Virginia on Friday afternoon and took a shot at the business community. President Obama dismissed any credit business owners give themselves for their success:

There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t -- 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.

The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.

YOU didn't build your own business. Government bureaucrats did. So, your earnings are not yours, instead they are there for the politicians to take and spend as they please.

Obama's statement really sums up his collectivist psychopathology in a nutshell.

Don't forget this part:

That's not what he said.

The point of his rant is very clear -- everyone in the U.S. belongs to a collective, controlled by politicians, so don't piss and moan when we steal your money and piss it away on special interests, because IT'S NOT YOUR MONEY -- YOU DIDN'T EARN IT.

That's the point he was making.

He and his band of leftist lunatics need to be removed from office at all costs.

No, he said that.

"The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together."

You're in a frenzy so you only see what you want to see.

Besides, who gives a fuck what he says. It's all bullshit to get him elected. You don't think he actually has any convictions at all do you? I'm sure no one who replaces him will think any different than he does.

Go outside and enjoy the breeze.

No, he said that.

Here is what he said, bozo:

"If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen."

It's clear as a bell.

"The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together."

I do things with my employees, family and customers, NOT you or Barack Obama.

It's very clear that this guy is a collectivist dope who thinks that the major decisions need to be made by politicians. He is exactly wrong. The politicians should make almost NO decisions. Most decisions in life should be up to individuals and the voluntary organizations to which they belong. Decisions made by politicians are all political in nature -- designed to keep them in power by buying off segments of the population with the wealth confiscated from hard working people. FUCK Obama.

One can only imagine the 'things' you do...

Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
