"You Didn't Build That"

Barack Obama is the gift that just keeps giving. In 2008, he scammed his way into the White House like a used car salesman; promising to be the most transparent, post racial administration ever. Now, figuring, I suppose, that not enough people will buy that same load of crap again, he has a new strategy. His ideology has always followed the Robin Hood approach of taking from the productive people and giving it to his friends. But, last week, he added a new twist. "As we steal from the successful people, why not just insult the shit out of them too?" In one of the most brain dead, yet comical moments in U.S. Presidential history, Obama uttered this nugget of wisdom, "If you have a business, you didn't build that. Someone else made that happen." Who did jackass, Santa Claus? Did Barbara Eden pop out of a bottle and do it? If she did, she probably thought "Damn, how long was I in that bottle? Tell me you're not really the damn president!" That's what I think every morning when I wake up. In fairness to the president, how the hell should he be expected to know how businesses are created? He's never run one, or worked for one. He was raised by Marxists. All his friends and associates, and advisers are communists. There is absolutely no reason to expect him to have any knowledge of how free market capitalism works; all he's ever heard is that it was evil, unfair, and racist. Obama's theory is that our rich "Uncle Government" built this great "system" of roads, bridges, schools, and green energy sources. Then, a few people took advantage of that system and used it to create these successful businesses and get rich. But, that money isn't really theirs because they haven't paid back Uncle Government; and that greedy bastard wants it all back with interest. This leads to a question. Where did Uncle Gov get all his money to begin with? Well, he got it from business owners and the people that work the jobs created by those businesses. For Example:

• Thomas Edison-He had about 3 months of formal schooling and was self-educated for the most part. He was hearing impaired, yet he invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the first long lasting, practical light bulb. He built and installed the first power grids in New York City. Mr. Edison "You didn't build that."
• John Merrick-Was a black man, born into slavery and educated in reconstruction schools after the Civil War. He worked a variety of odd jobs, became a barber, and opened his own successful shop. In 1898, he founded the North Carolina Mutual Insurance company, which today is the oldest and largest African-American life insurance company in the U.S. Sorry John, "Someone else made that happen."
• Henry Ford-Raised on a farm, left home at 16 to work in a machine shop, then worked for Edison until leaving to start The Ford Motor Company. Lord Mr. Ford, "You didn't build that."
• Ray Croc-Lied about his age to join the service during WWI and became a Red Cross ambulance driver at 15. Worked as a musician, paper cup salesman, and radio DJ. Bought McDonald's on a handshake and made it the biggest restaurant chain in the world. "Who built that Ray? Not You!"
• Herman Cain-Raised on a Tennessee farm, in the segregated south. Worked as a barber, janitor, and Chauffeur, then worked his way through the ranks of Coca Cola and Pillsbury, before becoming CEO of Godfather's Pizza and ultimately buying it. Herman, "You're a Conservative Republican, so you sure as hell didn't build that."

There are millions of stories like these; of people who sacrificed and risked everything and often failed a couple of times before finding success. It didn't happen because government extorted money from them and paved a road.  It's embarrassing that we turned our country over to such a moron. It's insulting to the entrepreneurs of yesterday and today to suggest that government has been anything but a pain in the ass to them. Wanna know what you built Mr. President? "9% unemployment, $5 trillion in new debt, supplying guns to Mexican drug dealers, the worst racial division since the 1960's, and the worst national morale since Jimmy Carter's sorry ass left the White House." "You built all that shit Mr. President."" That, is the House that Barack built." Own it!
