This speech isn’t instantly infamous because it was a gaffe but because it was an accurate and concise summary of core progressive fiscal dogma and Communist/Socialist economic philosophies. It was also a political blunder of epic proportions because in this speech Obama unintentionally proved the conservatives’ case for limited government.

Most liberals are clamoring about saying that the “you didn’t build that” comment was taken out of context and that the speech, in its entirety, is a reaffirmation of the American worker. Uhm, no it’s not. This speech, especially when considered in its full context is much more terrifying than the single sentence, “you didn’t build that.”

Let’s look at the speech’s main sentences:

1. “If you’ve been successful you didn’t get there on your own.” Really? I know a 38-year old shoe repairman who immigrated to this country when he was 12. He had no education and could barely speak English. To this day, he had no teacher teach him basic economics. In fact, he did not have any other teacher mentor him along the way… as he did not graduate from high school. Today, he is an American citizen and operates his business out of a shop he and his brother built in his back yard in Denver. Last year his company made over $163,000 dollars. He’s far from rich, but he is doing okay. By the way, he doesn’t drive on any roads to get to work every day.

2. “I’m always struck by people who think, ‘well, it must be because I’m just so smart’… there are a lot of smart people out there.” So here, Obama attacks the pride that people have about creating business and economy and smears them claiming, by inference, that they are ego-maniacs. He discredits not only the intelligence it takes to start a business, he also ignores the personal initiative and drive most entrepreneurs have. Therefore, since the world is full of smart people who have never created a business, it must be the successful entrepreneurs’ fault for being so full of himself that he/she doesn’t realize that it’s not due to intelligence but, rather, blind luck, the graces of others and government that you are successful in the first place.

3. “It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something, there’s a whole bunch of hard working people out there”. This statement is true and false at the same time. Yes, there are hard-working people who work for other people or companies who don’t make as much money as some who decided to start their own businesses. But we can’t claim that the factory worker who got fed up of working for “the man” and started his own successful fabrication business is somehow not worthy of the success he reaps because of the risks he took to start his business. If his colleagues who are still back in the factory are bitching and moaning about how hard they work and yet not rich… perhaps they should make the same decision and invest the individual gusto and personal risk to start their own businesses. At the core of this sentence is the incitement of class warfare. This is dangerous. This is immature. This is completely below the office of the president of the United States.

4. “If you were successful somebody along the way 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. This part of his speech has gone mostly unchallenged. If Obama clearly believes in this “Unbelievable American System”, they why in 2008 was his major platform of hope and change built upon “Fundamentally Transforming America”? Is he lying then, lying now, or continuing his deceptive truths by implanting platitudes to get Americans behind him. Obama says, somebody invested in roads, bridges. If you got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” This is the sentence stream that has earned the most attention. And it’s not a gaffe. It’s a Socialist mantra that outlines a progressive political philosophy that dangles a partial truth yet espouses a theory that is a lie. Obama is tricky here because he mentions the “unbelievable American system that we have…” hoping to confuse us into thinking he’s talking about individual work ethic, the values of the Founders, etc. But in his view the “American system” is not the initiative of entrepreneurs, it is the expansion of government. To Obama, the only way we can gain success is if the government allows it. As far as having great teachers, of course we have had teachers who have impacted our lives. I used to teach high school theology and English. But I can tell you, I never helped a former student build her/his business. They would have had to do that on their own.

So, in context, this speech is much more frightening in its entirety than the one sentence, “If you got a business, you didn’t build that” is. Here we have Obama profusely espousing his Socialist rhetoric disguised with words like “teacher”, “roads”, “internet”, and “government”. He mixes partial truths with lies in order to give the appearance to those who are blinded by his rhetoric that he’s championing the working class. Yet what he’s really doing is attacking the attributes of this country that he abhors: Capitalism, the free market, entrepreneurship, individual initiative and the work ethic that, like it or not, makes some of us rich and some of us a slave to their own lack of initiative.

Remember, this is the president who only a week ago removed the requirement of looking for work from welfare recipients and made it possible for them to, in essence, sit on the front porch and drink coffee, tea or booze all day and collect government checks funded by our tax dollars.
Obama entices people to be lazy and do nothing then inserts government handouts as the delicious and tempting carrot for people who bemoan their own predicaments rather than getting out there and building a life and business of their own.

Let me make one contrast here with Mr. Romney. Mitt went to Britain to meet with the PM. Prior to his departure he, like everyone else in the world had been hearing of the Safety concerns in London. So what did Mr. Romney do, he spoke the truth and expressed his concern. And, it didn’t sit well with the Brits. It stung and it seemed to them that he was mocking their Nation. What was Mr. Romney’s purpose behind making those remarks? Clearly, there was only one reason he did so; he had a genuine concern about safety. He did not say it wasn’t hard in a very densely populated city like London. He was speaking from his heart and he was speaking the Truth. Now…what happened in Britain as a result? For one, it was the snide news articles chiding Romney as having insulted the British people when he was their guest. How clueless they said. However, another more Amazing and Wonderful thing happened. The people of Britain instantly rose up and said…by God Mr. Romney, we are going to show you that we’re ready and that we’re going to make damn sure that London’s Olympic guests are safe. Nothing is going to happen on our watch by God!!! This is EXACTLY the outcome that Mr. Romney Wanted. This is exactly what tough love is. This is what you want in a leader. Speak the truth and the genuine goodness of people will come out in unity.
I want American Exceptionalism back. I do not want a thin-skinned President that will intentionally leak classified information to make myself look good or hide non-classified information in effort to protect my image irrespective of the lives that the non-classified information cost (i.e., F&F).

I want America Back. Do you?

Don’t just skim over this, it is not very long, read it slowly and let it sink in.  If in doubt, check it out!!!

The day the democrats took over was not January 22, 2009, it was actually January 3^rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the
House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110^th congress.

The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103^rd congress in 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this:

• January 3^rd, 2007 was the day theDemocrats took over the Senate and the Congress.  At the time:
• The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
• The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
• The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
• George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of
  52 STRAIGHT MONTHS OF JOB GROWTH

REMEMBER THE DAY….

January 3^rd, 2007 was the day the Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the
Senate Banking Committee.

The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the Economy?  BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!

Unemployment…to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!!

Bushed asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie – Starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US Economy.

And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac?

OBAMA

And Who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?  OBAMA and the Democrat Congress

So when someone tries to blame Bush…

REMEMBER JANUARY 3^RD, 2007…THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS  TOOK OVER!

Budgets do not come from the White House.  They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.

Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011 and filibustering it in 2012

In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush belatedly got tough on spending increases.

For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry  Reid  bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office.  At that time, the passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.

And where was Barack Obama during this time?  He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the Omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007  deficit, the last of the Republican budgets.  That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending.  After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.  In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20^th.

There is no way this will be widely publicized by the lame stream, biased media unless each of us takes it upon ourselves to tell our
friends and family the truth.

To give the POTUS one ounce of praise on this issue absurd.   First, he has done absolutely nothing about this but condemn it for three and a half years.  Now, in a very calculated manner he has taken this very sensitive issue and, with the help of the hypocrites in Hollywood, thrown it in the face of those with dissenting views.  I want marriage equality, not because it is thrown in someone’s face…not because it is the politically correct thing to do, but because the people “believe” it to be right and just.  Of course there will always be folks that disagree on this issue.  And I understand why they do.   But at least we have been able to have civil discussion about this much more so over the past decade than ever.  Things were looking up.  Hate crime laws were passed.  But now….now, we have Obama…for the pure political gain of a few votes and mostly campaign funds this issue is thrown in the face of those with opposite or questioning views.  And what are we going to get.  Just think of how a rat acts when backed into a corner.  This has done absolutely nothing but really…and I mean really piss people off, on both sides.  More-so for those that oppose this.  True enough it is spurring conversation and that is good.  I have seen and witnessed a shift in attitudes to the detriment of the fight for equal rights for the GLBT community in my place of employment almost overnight because of this.   This issue is deeper than racial or female equality ever was, not bigger…just deeper. (in my humble opinion of course).   It cuts across all ethic classes.  I am firmly convinced that Obama politicizing yet another issue has done just the opposite of what the GLBT community wants.  I again say…the only reason Obama even did this was to 1) get votes and 2) get votes and finally 3) to get votes.

Shame on your Mr. President for taking such important issues as this and dividing the nation even further than you already have, which until last week I didn’t think possible.  Worse than you losing my vote Mr. President, you now have completely lost my respect.  Again full disclosure…this definitely was not the only reason for losing my vote.

I truly believe that Obama and his hypocritical morons in Hollywood have moved this argument for the GLBT community back 10 years.  At the same time, oddly enough to me, many of my gay friends are so blinded by Obama’s awesomeness and stuck in their gay world they cannot see this.  When I finally am able to have a rational conversation with them, every time their eyes are opened.  Some just a smidgen and others a lot.  A true leader would have invited open discussion about these issues on both sides and help led Americans towards a “fair” consensus. Why wasn’t a methodical concise approach taken.  Why not be a true leader and come to the opposing side with compassion and understanding for their position by someone that “said” they truly believed in the issue.  Not now boy.  But I forget…I’m asking Obama to be a leader.  The opportunity is gone!!   This is a sad sad day for the GLBT community.  They’ll soon wake up and see where our rainbow did not end at the pot of gold…but ended in the toilet with Obama.  For now anyway.

At least with Mr. Romney, while I do not 100% agree with his position I do respect it.  I just wish more news outlets (real news outlets) would properly report on Mr. Romney’s “complete” position.  Moreover, this very small issue of equality for GLBT to marry pales in comparison to the real issues that face this nation.  While Obama can try to shift focus all he wants, the American People know and feel the truth.

Both situations are truly shameful.  And thanks to Obama for injecting more racial hatred into this country, Travon Martins memory has been completely disrespected and drug through the trough of shame and racism.  

“Police in Kansas City, Missouri said they are investigating the alleged assault as a possible hate crime. Investigators said the assault took place as the teen walked home from East High School.”

Four years of this person as the leader of the Greatest Nation on earth is four years to much.  With as much hatred and anger as I see every day, and with each passing day its only growing worse, I sincerely believe that four more years of this man in office will lead this great nation to a 2nd civil war.  Modeled exactly after the 1st one!

Newt Gingrich is the only hope for the GOP to win the Presidency in 2012.  A vote for Romney is a vote for Obama.  Mark my words.  I pray that each one of you that may read this, make the right decisions.  WAKE UP PEOPLE….DON’T BE BOUGHT OFF BY MITT’S MONEY.   WE’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THAT CRAP IN WASHINGTON ALREADY.

Romney:  Knows how to cut departments and spending.  His position at Bain Capital proves that.  Thereis no question about that.  Over my 50 years of life, I have seen venture capital companies restructure and re-build or close many companies.  Scale them down to the bones and if it is a good product, it will rebound and grow.  If not, sell the assets and move on.  The primary goal is to cut and cut quickly to minimize risk with the worse case being liquidation.  Know is saying that is bad.  It provides vital roles in our enomy.  However, is that the way you want the U.S. to be handled and polices enacted over the next four years.  I will leave for you to decide.  That doesn’t sound bad.   Or, is it?

Newt Gingrich: 1994 Time man of the year for leading the way of bring back the house to the Republican Party after 40 years.   FORTY YEARS!!!  While he was House speaker, the House enacted welfare reform, passed a capital gains tax cut in 1997, and in 1998 passed the balanced budget since 1969.  Newt knows how to coalesce or bring together people for big common causes.   He knows how the economy works and he knows how to implement much needed sweeping reform without killing the American
People.

Both positions will get us where we want to go. With a shoot-gun that is quick and messy (Mitt) or like a bowling ball which is more
steady, heavy and reaches its goal and scatters the mess out of the way (Newt).  So…it’s a gun or a bowling ball.

Everything else is a completely mute point. Now…choose how you want the next four years to go.  You decide.  I have.
