I approve that message as well !

From BHO's speach


“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help," the president said at a campaign stop last month in Roanoke, Va.. "There was a great teacher somewhere in your life," he continued. "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 fact that he seems to be missing is that EVERYONE has all that help available.  Not everyone can put it to the same advantage as someone who builds a successful business...the difference is what those individuals do put into it.  

And just because they are able to make it a success doesn't obligate them to give extra help anyone who is not able.

The whole mess about his "you didn't build that!" statement is that he actually stole the idea from the dumbocrat running against Brown here in MA.  It was a speech Warren gave somewhere in Boston recently.  Obama stole it and then proceeded to f..k up the delivery so badly because he was speaking without his magic teleprompters.

The message was the same from Warren though just more eloquently (albeit incorrectly) stated in her speech.  Her version ended with "you folks that build businesses need to pay it forward!" and send a big chunk of your profits to the treasury!

Further investigations revealed that Warren stole the speech from a liberal, progressive, Berkley prof named George Lakoff!

Think it through.
Even his later claim that he was talking about infrastructure is BS.
The only Govt. entity that builds anything is the Corps of Engineers, and if you listen to the pissing and moaning from New Orleans, they usually screw it up.
Every single one of those things BO mentioned, roads, bridges, railroads, were originally built by private parties.
Even later when Govt. assistance played a role as with the highway system, the work was done by private companies and govt interference proved to be more hindrance than help.

[Timothy]

Some years back, a news station put some hidden cameras near a highway work site on the Mass pike somewhere.  During the week long surveillance, they determined that the crew worked for about 45 minutes of a 10 hour shift on average.

Government assistance is an oxymoron...

Another instance when an overpass in Fall River was dropping huge chunks of concrete onto I195 they determined that the bridge hadn't been inspected in nearly 40 years.  The city thought it was the counties responsibility, the county thought it was the states and the state thought it was the cities.  It prompted the governor to order the immediate inspection of every bridge over every road, river, train track, etc..in the entire state!  A project that cost the state a billion dollars.

I remember that.
I don't remember what year it was, but I remember hearing about it.
