Thread: Did I miss something?

PICKETVIDEO) Obama - 'If you

Uncle Sugar takes my taxes every damn quarter. I borrowed from a regular lender on a 10 year (15% down) note and paid it off in 4.5.

I did not get any "special" concessions either. WTF is HE talking about Please inform?

Hitch

English please?

He's referring to the fact that any business owner or successful person did not get there on their own.

The right wingers will have you believe that he says only "If you run a business, You didn't build that, Somebody else built that for you "

The context of the speech relates that comment to successful business owners and they are unhappy with the comment.

When in reality the speech is about getting help along the way. This is something that everyone has done. You own a successful business, good for you, you want to say you did everything yourself, good for you. The truth is that the "roads, bridges, and infrastructure that get your product to market or get your money to the bank were there before you, leading to the comment "somebody else built that for you"

You are free to interpret it any way you please, however that is the way I hear it..

I hear it the same way. Context is important. The headlines missed it.

This is the context that is important:

Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges.
