Sigh... what words a quote contains is not a matter of "POV." Joel Send a noteboard - 01/09/2012 09:01:17 PM
That's fine, be proud of your POV.

It's just that normal folks don't believe the same.

Obama either did or did not say what beetnemesis claims he did; it is not open to interpretation or debate. Turns out Obama DID say what beetnemesis claims: There is video of it (see link at around 33:20.) Obama said (among other things,)
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. 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.

The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.

Anyone denying he made those statements is not just expressing a different opinion or point of view, but denying reality, either from rank ignorance or base dishonesty.

It amazing how much the left doesn't get tis issue - 01/09/2012 02:55:44 PM 635 Views
It is amazing how well every sentence but your last covers the "We [not I] built this" view - 01/09/2012 03:29:27 PM 658 Views
let’s put it back in context - 01/09/2012 05:23:01 PM 753 Views
Politifact already did. - 01/09/2012 05:53:23 PM 820 Views
+1 - nicely said. The "built it" comment drives the left crazy, since they know..... - 01/09/2012 04:25:52 PM 552 Views
Nope, it drives us crazy because it's an out-of-context fragment quote - 01/09/2012 07:01:24 PM 543 Views
they all know what he said and context doesn't change it *NM* - 01/09/2012 07:11:01 PM 305 Views
...of course it does. - 01/09/2012 08:31:37 PM 574 Views
This is the kind of shit that makes me and my family not want to vote Republican. - 02/09/2012 12:01:01 AM 638 Views
Interesting response.... - 02/09/2012 12:07:01 AM 536 Views
They're both acting normal (for politicians) - 02/09/2012 12:12:31 AM 682 Views
I disagree; they both did something downright bizarre (again, for politicians; see link.) - 02/09/2012 12:20:32 AM 615 Views
Heh. - 02/09/2012 12:25:10 AM 661 Views

I don't like irrational hissyfits. - 02/09/2012 05:27:25 PM 692 Views

Only if you want a Senate majority. - 02/09/2012 07:39:23 PM 789 Views
Exactly, the context doesn't help. Libs believe government knows all and makes all possible. - 01/09/2012 08:25:51 PM 526 Views
