In what could shape up to be the most defining sound bite of this election season, President Obama states that entrepreneurs didn’t build their own businesses, but that they were instead the collective products of society. This is clearly the most anti-business Commander in Chief we have had in recent history

This confirms that he has no clue for what makes Commerce run and succeed
Ain’t that the God’s truth!
Who did he think paid the taxes to build those roads and bridges??? Was it the tooth fairy??
He knows what makes money and success……..he just hates it!
What an arrogant divider-in-chief! Rush Limbaugh pegged it- “Obama HATES America”.
What’s wrong with these half breeds/ What school did they go to? The British “Barack Obama” Chuka Harrison Ummuna recently said “terrorists and gang-members have entrepreneurial zeal”. Anyone want to challenge me, when I can these half-caste african buffoons idiots.
Interesting all the flack this guy is getting for words that he borrowed from another speaker and didnt credit that speaker….
wow…
CK out Elizabeth Warren’s stie
There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody.
You built a factory out there—good for you! But I want to be clear.
You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for.
You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate.
You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for…
Here’s the link: http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/scarce/elizabeth-warren-myth-class-warfare
Yep, it is called plagerism.
According to the libs/dems/socialists out there (and they are socialists) the only reason anyone is successful in business and life is because you “stole” it from someone else and that made that other someone poor and possibly starve to death living in squalor.
Classic Marxism!!
Well, guess what? Obozo is saying them now. So why shouldn’t he take the flack? After all he beleives those words. Lets remember he has never ever been involved in buisiness of any kind and does not understand it. All he understands is he hates personal acheavement!
I have no idea who came up with these expressions but they have all been uttered by Obama in the past before Warren came into the picture..
Obama is repeating himself.
That is repeating himself does not make his stupid statements any smarter.
duif or doifnot… I don’t care. But when the Government takes so much that even the business owners are hurting, on that day, the Government will cease to exist.
This is a dangerous precident to set. If you read the Declaration of Independence, and I’m sure you probably have, you will find the justification for the Revolution. Compare these things to the performance of the man who sits in the Oval Office, his supporters, and, for that matter, congressional leaders.
Consider it carefully.
I believe that you misinterpret my comment.
Because Obama repeats statements that he has made in the past that does not make these statements any smarter or true.
I am strongly oppose Obama and will vote for anybody wh has a chance to defeat him. Anybody will be better than Obama, I cannot imagine how anybody can be worse than him.
I also believe that Obama is not elligible to be president and must be prosecuted.
I don’t misinterpret you at all. I was making a half-witted attempt at humor.
I am concerned about the cheating in the coming election. I’m concerned about the lying that is now going beyond anything I have heard in my lifetime from the Oval Office.
Notice that I do not refer to him as president, as he is a usurper and does not belong in the office he pretends to.
Look, I don’t claim to be ready to start a rebellion. It is a very grave step to take. During the American Revolution, people starved, died in battle, were hung, shot, froze to death, and died of disease. It was a very hard time for all concerned. The same happened during the Civil War. So to even consider this as a possible option is beyond where I’d like to be. But it is becoming a more and more realistic possibliity – especially if the 32,000 drones Obama purchased for domestic operations are ever used for anything other than border crossing. And to date, having had them flying through the DC area on their way to their base – possibly Andrews AFB.
So prosecution is the least of our worries. Survival may take the front seat to that. And remember, Obama has already prepped for a declaration of Martial Law. We walk a very fine line, and it is not clear right now whether crossing the line will be something done by you and I, or by the Government. Hopefully, neither. But it is hard to tell when you’re not sure where the line is, and where it may move to.
The really, really scary part is that I checked out that site and the number of morons who think she is right and want her to run for president is pathetic. Our once great Country has degenerated to a bunch of stupid, non thinkers, but are highly educated and take in all the “spoon fed” bs the Marxist/Communist flunkies tell them.
I like to think there is a special place in hell for all of them – the hottest part!
That’s Right!!! Someone else did build and pay for the roads you used to get to work!! Someone else did pay for the Firemen to keep us safe while we worked in our warehouses and work places!!
And it was the Tax Payers that paid for all of it!! The ones that actually work and pay Taxes so all those Roads could be built, and Paid for the Firemen to protect us!
But the Typical Liberal way of thinking is once we paid the Taxes owed, it was their money, and not ours anymore!! The Libs have never learnedthe fact that the Government has never made a Penny itself in it’s whole existence!! If it wasn’t for our Tax Payments, the Government is Screwed!!!!
Isn’t this treasonous trash talker a disgrace to all that America stands for! He’s turning up his game of “hate America” as he runs for the finish line in November – and he has to be stopped! Every speech he is giving is right out of the Communist Ideology of Marx, Lenin and Alinsky! And if he has his way on November 6th, we’ll soon become the Great American Commune where Obama the Fascist Rules – and class warfare destroys everything in sight! This guy is the most ruthless, vicious, and dangerous excuse for a human being to have ever walked the streets of America! TAke him down! Take him down American Patriots! Before he destroys what’s left of God’s most sovereign nation!
This Credt Robber in chief does not want to give anybody credit for anything but is the forst in line to steal the credit from the people who deserve it.
Remember how Obama killed his Muslim brother Osama Bin Laden while Seal team 6 was watching him from the control center.
What would we do without him?
re: Obama having said, “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
It is interesting how the more liberals force what they call progression onto this nation, the more we move back towards a time in our history that our founding fathers risked their lives and all they had to get us out of. And not even they made such a claim.

Obama is merely spouting the Communist Party Line. He was raised a Communist, trained as a Communist and now works for and is paid by Communists.
What else would anyone expect him to say about businesses? Remember, one critical part of destroying Capitalism is the destruction of the Middle Class. This is how Obama sees America AFTER the imposition of Communism on it.
You may be right. I have a tendency to think he is fascist not communist. However, in any case they are both socialistic and both are dictatorships that have in the past murdered citizens.
O’bomber lives for crime, he speaks crime, he lives crime.He hasn’t built a business in his criminal life, and the muslim rent-boy only knows how to bend over. He’s made a complete industry of doing that.
Obama knows what he talking about!
He did nothing to earn the presidency.
Somebody else bought it for him.
The pole turtle!
You’re right, ‘Monarchy’ operative “Barack Hussein Sotoro Dunham Obama” was give the job of president by his puppet-masters. He doesn’t have any idea what setting up and running a business involves. The little Fool.
So, lets say he’s right. You didn’t get where you are because of your efforts, but because of the helping hand that you were given all along the way.
Mr. Obama, can you please do us all a favor and tell us who those people were who gave you a helping hand, how you got through Columbia, Harvard Law, etc. Who paid for it all? Under what programs?
That is only fair. How else can we learn by his example?
Obama, since you did not earn the Whitehouse, why should you get two turns?
It then only fair that as many people as possible get a turn.
it is only fair.
Mr. Obama, do the decent thing and leave.
Mr. “Fair Share” Obama I do believe that it is extremely selfish of you to ask for a second term and for donations for your election campaign.
To be fair Mr. Fair Share, you have had one term and that is more that 99.999999999999 percent of our population ever get.
To be fair Mr. Fair Share, people wo helped you spend hundreds of million of dollars to get you your job. How many people will get the same help to get a job? We have millions lined up do not have a job and will surely appreciate a 800 million dollar job campaign for them.
To be fair Mr. Fair Share,the question is really how much (or how little) do you share?
With this telling insult to small business owners everywhere, Obama may have (hopefully) begun the pivot in his campaign which sinks him and proves HE is the one so out of touch with everyday Americans.
Lost in all his blah, blah, blah about government infrastructure helping small business owners (SBOs), so their success is not really their’s, is the fact that we ALL use that infrastructure, including not only SBOs but also his ever increasing number of enrollees in his ever-extended and expanded food stamps program. They at least walk, or perhaps sometimes even sleep, on those infrastructure sidewalks. In fact, government-provided infrastructure at the local, sate and federal level is about the only real reason to even HAVE, and FUND, government, to do those large scale things which we, as individuals or small communities cannot do.
Whatever Obama’s intent in this speech, it came across as an insult. At least it proves when he’s not insulting Wall Street “fat cats” (whose contributions he still hypocritically curries and accepts), he
is insulting SBOs on Main Street. At least we’ve found something in which he finally represents ALL of us — he is an arrogantly equal opportunity offender.
OBOZO – the magnificent is just that , he has no clue as to who has put this country on the map of the world.
Small businesse owners have, with much toil, put this coutnry on the map. Small buisness owners have paid much in taxes to ; the IRS , FDIC, STATE and FEDERAL other taxes.
So, OBOZO , don’t sit there and say that IF the GOVERNMENT has put you, the small business person, where you are today, you have your head up you BUTT as usual.
wpb83481,
I’m sorry but you’re wrong. His head is too swollen to fit.
Queer in Chief has a big ass. As far as building small buisness I am sorry to say that most of my life I bought failing buisnesses and built them up and sold them. Customers was what helped build them. But you have to have something going for you to build it. Customers just don’t break down your door with out a draw. Couple of the buisnesses I sold failed. I believe that Honest is no.1, personality is no.2. Friendly no.3, A hand selected crew no.4, Product no.5. I never in my life ever had a buisness fail. Maybe lucky. And never sold to anybody that I figured would not make it. Even though couple didn’t. I am still friends with people who bought my buisness 20-30 years ago. A lady bought one of my stations in 1973. She is retired and her daughter who was 3 weeks old then owns the station today and we are friends today.
Does Our President Hate America?
http://weroinnm.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/does-our-president-hate-america/
“Food For Thought”
Semper Fi!
There is not much to think about!
The answer is a loud and clear : Yes Our current “president” hates America.
And I resent calling him president.
He has never proven that he is elligible to be our president.
Until hes proven that, to my satisfaction, I prefer to call him an impersonator!
As each day goes by Obama gets more unglued. I built my business by myself. I put my money into it not governments. If the roads weren’t there to ship on I would have moved to the coast and built myself a boat. I paid my taxes every year. I pay highway tax for my trucks. I have heard his comments not 4 times today and each time I hear him I get madder.
Bull crap, Mr. Commie-President. We pay the taxes that you steal from us and our children to give to your crony friends at Solyndra, in the government unions, and in the private unions like the auto workers unions (not the bondholders whom you screwed). You’ve bankrupted our once great country precisely because you know nothing about the free market system that HAS worked for 230 years and made this nation great. Don’t you dare try telling us about the failure of what we’ve tried in the past. You, sir, are the FAILURE! You’ve got it 100% backwards, you lying phony. The only reason government has ever been able to do anything is because of the private sector’s hard work and willingness to take chances. We are the reason you can build roads and pay a police force, etc.
Every dime the government spends to “help” someone is first taken by the force of law from somebody who worked for it and earned it.
The only reasonable close description I can come with for you is “Vulture” and I am afraid that I am insulting that bird.
that sonsofabitch is just plum crazy, the communist is showing now
This man is a moron…How in Gods name would he know about building a business? He never ran a cash register…He know NOTHING about running, owning, or building a business..His statements are incredibly ignorant…and he’s running out country? GOD HELP US..Get rid of him in November
Clueless idiot moron, He knows nothing about business or building a business most businesses were created to provide a product or service to customers to EARN A PROFIT… the original creator of that business Invested his time and Money and had the Idea. When it is successful it turns a profit and when it gets to busy for one person to do others are hired to help…Obama needs to go back to school and really learn this time instead of doing drugs….
If not for the “rich” or business successful entrepreneurs who would the democrats have to try and suck blood from? And if they succeed in crushing the will to succeed and make money…who will they then turn on to suck blood from? Truly…if they have no rich left to hate…what will happen? I built a drywall company…and believe me…my back…no one else built it. When I needed help later on when the company got bigger yes I had to hire AND PAY for help. But I was ran out of business 12 years ago by the illegals taking over the construction in Arizona. Just another victim of the open border illegal lovers. I don’t know why they don’t start an “adopt an illegal” program and let the bleeding heart liberals take care of their evil span. Why is it that they demand that everyone else take care of illegals?
The governmet is no more that a subcontractor for the people.
Initially the private sector build the infra structure, The government did not have the money to build anything until income tax became legal.in 1913.
Before the government can build roads, infra structure or anything else, it must get the money to do so from its citizens through taxation. The governmet uses these revenues to first pay itself and its emplyees very well and then embarks on (usually inefficient) projects for the benefit of the citizens.
Because of the force of law to collect taxes, some large things can sometimes be done by the governmet before the private industry would invest in these programs.
The key issue is that the government has no assets and the people must pay for everything the government does, good, bad or indifferent.
For all practical purposes the government is not the principal investor in these projects but a simple subcontractor.
Whatever the government does is done at the expense of the people (and businesses since businesses are also taxed).
Since the Obama Administration has contracted so much work to the Chinese does that mean that our country is owned by the Chines because they work for pay in America?
Funny how somone can take an edited clip and have you guys act like trained monkeys. Your being played. YHBT
Look in the mirror that is where the trained monkey is!!!! You just follow along and do Obamas bidding day after day !!! Whos the trained monkey now !!!
Obama is arrogant, conceited, egocentric. Or for those who prefer me to sugar coat it, I describe him as hubris. He is a liar and he wants nothing more than to send us into bankruptcy. He wants power and glory at the working man and woman’s expense. He is forcing the working man and the small business owner into modern day slavery. I want a president that has humility and dignity. Someone I can be proud of that leads us as a nation, someone who cares about all the people and the borders of our once great country more than how many vacations his family gets to take or TV appearance at taxpayers expense. I want him out of office.
Walks like a communist, talks like a communist, must be a communist.
Obama I don’t remember you being up at 5am with me running my small business. Putting in 18 hour days. No vacations for years. Have you ever been up at 5am? Big government bureacrates punch in around 9-10am?? And stand around drinking coffee for most of the morning as their phones ring off the hook because taxpayers like myself are required to contact them for some stupid moronish rule. That they tell no one about. Have you ever worryed about how to make payroll with sales cut by 50% because of YOUR economy Obama ?? Stop blaming Bush. Have you ever had a REAL job ?? You have had 3 plus years to fix this economy but you and your cronnies have no clue. They tried the same thing during the Great Depression,( print money, create government programs, government trying to STIMULATE the economy by the federal government, etc. etc. etc..) and it took WW2 to get us out of the Great Depression. The rest of the world was out of the GD in about 5 years , with FDRs policies it took us 12 years. I will at least give FDR credit he did put people to work with some great projects , you on the other hand just paid off your voting blocks.
Like I said your a trained monkey and now a whiner and YHBT and too stupid or mad to see it. You know who you are thats why you answered it. Going along with the crowd. Quit whining and go do somthing for somone besides your self or better yet move.
Great Minds Equal Great Results: So, please check the facts..
The percentage of each past president’s cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You know what the private business sector is.a real-life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt………………… 38%
Taft……………………………. 40%
Wilson ……………………….. 52%
Harding……………………… 49%
Coolidge…………………….. 48%
Hoover ……………………… 42%
F. Roosevelt ………………. 50%
Truman……………………… 50%
Eisenhower………………… 57%
Kennedy…………………….. 30%
Johnson……………………… 47%
Nixon………………………… 53%
Ford………………………….. 42%
Carter……………………….. 32%
Reagan………………………. 56%
GH Bush…………………….. 51%
Clinton ……………………… 39%
GW Bush…………………….. 55%
Obama…………………………. 8%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That’s right! Only eight percent—the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he’s never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it’s the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They’ve spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as “community organizers.”
We can certainly see what a good community organizer Mr. Obama was in Chicago….
watchman48,
This is very telling. In fact, unbelievable. That Obama had only 8% of his top guns with business background is frightening.
watchman48,
I am posting your data to Facebook giving you credit. This is amazing stuff. How can the man possibly do anything right with the economy if he has so little advice from people who have actually had experience in it?
Romney should make a sarcastic commercial to show of the Obama stupidity.
He should “blame” Bush!, and follow with a simple statement “Obama said Bush is to blame and I live in the same country as Obama..
How come Obama is blaming me now?
The sad part is that his minions believe this crap.
This dumb A$$ thinks he’s more important than people who work their rear end off and become successful!! He’s the most ignorant person ever to encroach on the WH…the sooner he and his communist buddies are out of there, the better!!!!!
Business Owners Say, Yes, I Did Build It.
At a new website, YesIDidBuildIt.com, business owners are respectfully addressing the President’s view that; “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
Launched by Fort Myers, Florida Advertising Agency Quenzel & Associates, the new website, ‘hopes to create a better understanding of what it really takes to start and run your own business, said Colleen Quenzel the Founder, President & CEO of Quenzel & Associates.
“As an Advertising Agency, we work with business owners every week to help them grow their business. We see the hours they put in, the sacrifices they make and the things they do to make success happen,” added Earl Quenzel, who oversees client strategy, creative and R.O.I. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, an Independent or a Republican… if you’re a business owner, you know what it takes to start and make a business successful,” he added.
Initially launched to support 13 business owners the agency knows and works with every week, the Florida Advertising Agency decided to open-up the website for all business owners that want to share why they started their own business and how they make success happen.
Business owners can register & share their pursuit of the American Dream of owning your own business simply by visiting the website: YesIDidBuildIt.com.
“The ‘Why I Started My Own Business’ section makes for interesting reading about why people take the risk to pursue the American Dream.
In the ‘How I Make Success Happen’ section business owners’ share tips for success, which those in similar industries or those thinking about starting a business may find helpful,” Quenzel explained.
“We believe that the key to America’s economic recovery lies with encouraging small business owners. We think there’s been enough ‘business bashing’ the last 18 months.
We believe supporting people who pursue the American Dream of having their own business is the best way to get the economy going.”
I understand exactly what your saying here. However, I see the scariest part of his statement being the fact that people cheered when he said this. Just like his promise to fundamentally transform America, those in attendance gave that statement a standing ovation. How can there be so many blind supporters?
I do know however, many in Germany also cheered hitler the same way. As a matter of fact there are many similarities between obama and hitler. If anything was learned during hitler’s reign of terror in Germany we must get rid of obama come November. If not we may very well suffer the same outcome as Germany at least to some degree.
I do believe many are waking up but are there enough to do what needs to be done? I certainly hope so. Because the very existence of this Republic depends on that!
