"You Didn't Build That"
Barack Obama tells business owners "You didn't build that." And Mitt Romney shoves it down his throat.
UPDATE: The RNC does a pretty good job at punching back too.

Indeed, it is extraordinary that the President of the United States would trash the successes of so many people over so many years that have defined modern America. They didn't do it on their own? Whatever evil forces have taken over Mr. Obamas brain we will probably never know. But we do know that those evil forces have made an ass of him.
You have taken his comments out of context.
Obama was making the point that successful businesses rely on an infrastructure which everyone pays for. Roads, police, education etc.
The romantic idea of the gutsy entrepreneur is one created by propagandists to convince people we need pro business legislation and values. (Less taxes on the wealthy and less regulation on business).
This does not serve the interests of the middle class nor has it proven to create a trickle down effect that helps all economic levels.
No, this quote is not taken out of context: "The private sector is doing just fine."
Obama is a menace. He's anti-business and has wrecked the recovery.

The comment was NOT taken out of context. President Obama was talking about people who start businesses, and create jobs. It is not true that everyone pays for the infrastructure if 45% of the population pays no federal taxes is it? It is the taxes that people pay when they WORK that afford us the police and schools.
You keep coming up with Colonel Mustard in the Kitchen with a Rope, and have no Clue.
What are hiding Mitt? Where's the tax returns?
Bloomberg poll shows Obama reading 53% to 40%
Hey Danny! Did you donate to Zimmerman? I was just reading a story about how he's been spending his donated defense money.
Dannytheman-
If people aren't paying taxes it's because they have no job.Big business has hollowed out the middle class by sending jobs overseas to pay lower wages while still insisting on paying lower taxes. And they get their way because they own the politicians of both parties. The more powerful they get the less democracy we get.
To Anon first.
45% of the people in the country pay ZERO federal taxes. Many of them work but they have been deemed to poor to pay. They use the same roads, the same services, but they pay ZERO. Now poor is a relative term. Some of these poor people are living better than me because of all the cracks in the government services. They get food stamps, I pay full rate. They get discounted housing, I pay a mortgage to the bank. They get reduced utilities and still pay NO taxes. WTF?
To Bob,
I have indeed paid money to George Zimmerman's defense fund. I think it is tragic what has happened to him. He has no job to support his family, he has no life to lead as ordinary ever. I stand by my prediction that he will be exonerated BUT after the election. Thanks to your reminder, I am sending him another 50 bucks.
Danny - Good for you. Zimmerman needs to upgrade his blue ray player. As for some poor people living better than you, that's a bit of a stretch. But this might make you feel better. This morning I was reading about legislation, signed by Obama, making it illegal for recipients to use their money on booze, lottery tickets, gambling, tatoos, etc.
Sorry Danny. I was all wrong about Zimmerman. After hearing his comment "I feel that it was all God's plan and not for me to second-guess it or judge it," I realize it was all God's fault. That prick!
Thanks Bob, I think he should have a Blue Ray player, as I do. I am sharing the wealth, just choosing who I give it to. LOL
Zimmerman will be exonerated in this boondoggle.
I am happy that the President has legally adjusted the Food Stamp program. But what about the folks who will sell their food stamps for cash? You get them, sell them to me at a slight profit and then you have cash to gamble, buy booze, lottery or other questionable things? But I bet that never happens, huh?
Danny - FYI, food stamps no longer exist. And to his credit, Bush was somewhat responsible for this....
Getting a Food Stamp Card
When the case worker determines that you are able to receive food stamps, you will be given a pre-determined balance on an electronic food stamp card. This card works just like a debit card but only works for food items. You will be able to choose a PIN number to use with the card. It will not work without the PIN.
Conditions
There are some rules that a food stamp card carrier must follow. First, the balance on the card cannot be traded for cash. Second, the card must be used for items that are sold cold. You will usually have to pay cash for hot items. Third, if you use all of the money on your card, you will have to pay the remaining balance due at the checkout with your own money.
The sad news is Zimmerman will never be free, and Martin will still be gone. I guess you still believe Zimmerman stalked him and shot him in cold blood, huh? Even though the preponderance of facts support Zimmerman.
We can rehash this a thousand times. Like the police report states, this could have been avoided had Zimmerman listened to the directions of the dispatcher.
If I had a son...
No wait, I didn't build that.

Like we all do 55 MPH on I-95? Or we all Stop completely at a Stop Sign? Those kind of conditions? You crack me up.
Breaking the law, right?
Danny - I believe these were provisions developed during the Bush administration. Maybe George should have put more teeth into this legislation. If you don't like it, maybe you should vote for a Democrat this time around.

It was Bush's fault... Even 3.5 years later! Yup, that dog won't hunt no more!!
Even Bob stutters when he still tries to blame President Bush.
I've had a good day!!
Made money for my company, got to hear Bush Did It, wrote a check to the Zimmerman Defense Fund, Volunteered at my local baseball Little League for 4 hours.
And won another argument with Bob.
Danny - What you meant to say is that you learned something from Bob. You were under the impression that people still sold their food stamps for cash.
Bob,
You have taught me many things along the way. You have taught me that I can respect being that differ with me. You have taught me tolerance. You have taught me that all the crazy things they say about how a liberal thinks are true.
Now, let's go over my crystal balling.
President Obama loses in November.
Senate and House go Republican in November.
George Zimmerman will be found not guilty if this case goes to trial.
George Zimmermans case might never make it to trial.
Feel free to post your predictions, and we will bet a legal charity donation on it.
Danny,
While you are betting, what's the over/under on Obama releasing his college and law school transcripts before Mitt releases his tax returns?
After all, Mitt's taxes are merely a confirmation of his smarts and professional success. Obama's transcripts will be a sad illustration of affirmative action at its worst.
What happened to MLK's dream of a man being judged by the content of character rather than the color of his skin? Are Obama's academic records just another liberal perversion?
Danny - I won't predict how the last 3 will turn out, but I'll predict an Obama win. I'll make the same wager that I make with Joe Mabee. Loser sends $50 to the Alzeimers Foundation. That way Jake and Charlie profit from our wager too.
Danny,
How about any bet go to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, since it is obvious Bob is full of #@%*.
Thanks Jake (or whatever your name is)Now about that statue.
Hey, Bob... I can handle a lot but when you call God a prick you've stepped over the line. And if you want to deny you did so take the time to scroll up. I know it is hard, but please try to step back from the indoctrination of the liberalites to which you were subjected. They didn't teach you how to fight fair, that's for sure. You may call God a prick, Bob, but that does just inspires me more to pray that you will overcome...
Saint Charles - God and I have a special agreement. I F*** with him , he forgives me.
