the old man did so much work I get tired readign about it

What a piece of shit.

Obviously. He's SO insulting to EVERYBODY's intelligence. He's insulting to smart people. He's insulting to hard working people. He's insulting to educated people. He just shits all over everybody, and the dumb deserve the insult--they're too dumb to notice.

It's just pathetic that he overgeneralizes and ignorant douche bags buy into it. The vast majority of small businesses succeed DESPITE government, not remotely because of it. Most businesses don't have corrupt deals providing services to government. Most businesses don't have permanent underclass (welfare designed to keep down, not help) customers with a constant government income to spend on their products/services.

Sure, Solyndra employees would fit what he's saying well. But the vast majority of individuals and businesses in America are nothing like Solyndra: They work and actually produce wealth that people are glad to bring into their lives.

Fire-fighting references are cute, but the fact is that most jobs in life are absolutely nothing like fire-fighting.

The simple and indisputable fact is that most businesses--and most individuals--DO succeed on their own. That is, on their own in the context Obama is speaking of it. They thrive through hard work and extremely long hours, and, if they're lucky, family and even community support. Government is nothing but a hindrance, a collection of taxing costs which we have to work harder to pay down and still succeed.

We're paying (much of it in the form of debt and impending inflation) much, much more for government than we're getting out of it. It's wasteful, corrupt, fraudulent, incompetent, and inefficient. The notion that we all succeed with its help is laughably (and sadly) absolutely retarded.

There are lists literally too long to post here w/o spamming of government waste and inefficiency which cost us all. Obama's essentially mocking us, pretending government's a good deal economically and helps us more than it hurts us. That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard. And it's completely antithetical to the ideals of America's founding.

Only a complete idiot would believe it. And yet, he said it. And lots of people aren't offended.

That so many people similarly resign themselves to the world going to shit is why it does. I'm not blaming Obama or Democrats more than anybody else. I'm commenting truthfully on specific things he said.

I'm going to vote Libertarian this fall. No, the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson does not insult our intelligence, let alone this horrendously.

someone's ancestors shuuure got a lot of government contracts!!

The name change makes me wonder who he was hiding from...
