Folks, y’all are being hard on Obama. He’s just talking from his experience.
He hasn’t done anything his adult life that the Chicago political machine hasn’t made happen for him. See, he hasn’t self-motivated to do anything–he’s been pushed from behind or had it handed to him.
The Choomster-in-Chief must be hitting the choom again. I guess that with enough dope, the world looks pretty much however he wants it to look, at least while he’s high. Stoned at the helm of the ship of state. No wonder the country is such a mess. Can we hope to have a sober president for a change?
I think the philosophical approach of Hobbes to the atomic theory can be adapted to this idea that entrepreneurs follow, rather than lead, the creation of infrastructure by their fellow citizens.
Give the progressive arguing for more taxes a swift kick to their nads, followed by, “I didn’t kick you. Someone else did that.”

Heh.

Hopefully a meme is born.

Wow, looks like someone else did a fine job you can take pride in.

I tip my hat to someone who can build a business around doe snot.

I may not have built a business, but neither has Obama. I’ve written books. Whether Obama has written boks or not is still an open question.

Careful, the EPA might make it their business to see that that DOESN’T happen.

It’s a shiny skating rink!

Who are you going to give it to?

Reminds me of a joke:
Whats the difference between a Democrat and a Republican?
Republican signs his check to the government on the front;
The democrat signs his government check on the back.

Better cover that before it gets too dry…

That’s what I thought, heh.

You missed a spot. Way back in the left corner. (Just funnin ya)
July 18th, 2012 at 2:41 pm
Unc, you should be ashamed of yourself, making those ridiculous claims. You didn’t build that.
So where did you hide the huge government program that poured the slab? C’mon. Fess up.

Nice, concise, visual juxtaposition of your concrete accomplishment, and his lack of the same.

@MJM: “Concrete accomplishment” indeed.
July 18th, 2012 at 6:20 pm
I’m shocked anything gets done in this country if the government is responsible for it all.

I think those words came straight from his heart — he clearly believes them — and dearly hope they sink his campaign.
July 19th, 2012 at 8:33 am
I didn’t get that. Somebody please make it happen.

Dude, you forgot the inside half of the shoring and completely filled the basement!

That looks like one monster bunker under there.
