Yes, yes, I know. This is old news already. And it’s all over the internet and talk
radio. Heck, Rush Limbaugh
today allowed his engineer to play it whenever the spirit moved him. That made for interesting listening.
But the more I think about it,
the more amazed I am by it. And
simply reading what Obama said does not give the full impact. Watch and listen
. . .
Obama’s arrogance and condescension towards business
owners, big and small, just oozes through.
I could try to say something profound. But what is there to say about such
breathtaking chutzpah? Well, yes, there
is a lot that could be said actually.
For now, perhaps it is best to say that Obama’s statement
should serve as a good reality check as to the sort of arrogance and economic
illiteracy that currently holds sway in the Oval Office.
In defense of truth, though not in defense of Hizzoner daPrez . . .
ReplyDeleteI think it possible that the "that" in "you didn't do that" refers, not to the small business you own, but to the "the roads and bridges" that "somebody invested in".
This brings the whole unfortunately-worded last sentence into line with what appears to be Hizzoner's premise, that your success is built upon the work previously done by others.
I'll restrain myself and simply say the context does not bear your interpretation out, DeeBee.
ReplyDeleteBut I think I should add that the President's statement and the way he delivered it is so damaging, that there is a lot of spinning going on in an attempt to pull him out of the pit he dug then fell into.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt (for now) that you are not part of the spinning.
God bless.

By no means. I want his sorry butt out of the White House as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd sorry if I was a bit paranoid, but they ARE out to get us. :)
