'If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen'

This guy just can't help stepping on his dick.

If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

So you business owners, remember you didn't build your your businesses. Someone else made that happen. Never mind all that money, time, sweat and tears you invested to build a successful business.....Someone else made that happen.

Unbelievable.

I read that, too, Chica. That is the stupidest statement by a politician I have ever heard. He knows nothing about business. He must not be allowed a second term. This is stupider than Sheila Jackson Lee wondering if the Mars Rover would visit the location where the Apollo astronauts landed.

Agreed. Unbelievable.

Its like a giant "Fuck You" from the President to a huge segment of the population, no matter what side of the political coin you are on.

I'm sure someone will be along to defend him on this however.

in context from the article ...


The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.


not defending Obie, but didnt I read somewhere "No man is an island"

that said, an individual that creates a successful business if not from the startup, somewhere along the line takes advantages of the opportunities provided by others.

CC how sad is it that our POTUS says that.....

pretty damn sad

Small business owners put sweat love and tears into their" babies".
also needed is the help of dedicated and committed workers to grow.
No one person business will ever grow past one persons abilities.
Help IS needed to facilitate growth past one persons capabilities.

Help is needed, but that's not what the government is talking about. They want more control, and think because they built roads, etc. they should have more control over business.

It's bullshit and un-American.

Now if Obama comes out and says it is easy to run any type of business , be it small med or large then I'd tell him to go fuck himself!

Im pretty sure if you ignore the context of the statement you can make just about anything you want to out of it ...

"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges."

Funny you left that part out.

Does CC stand for Chica Chaser, or does it stand for Chubby Checker?
