Obama - I Didn't Say What I Said, And Anyway, I Meant The Opposite

Who are you going to believe, Obama or your lying ears? Obama has a new ad out "explaining" his infamous "You didn't build that" Kinsley gaffe:

"Those ads taking my words about small business out of context - they're flat out wrong," the president says in the 31-second pitch. "Of course Americans build their own businesses. Every day, hard-working people sacrifice to meet a payroll, create jobs and make our economy run."

"And what I said was that we need to stand behind them, as America always has, by investing in education and training, roads and bridges research and technology," he says. "I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message because I believe we're all in this together."

Stand behind small business? I think Obama means, kneel behind small business and wait for someone to deliver a push, so that money falls out of their pockets on the way down.

Let's have a bit more of that "stand behind" context:

But you know what, I’m not going to see us gut the investments that grow our economy to give tax breaks to me or Mr. Romney or folks who don’t need them.  So I’m going to reduce the deficit in a balanced way.  We’ve already made a trillion dollars’ worth of cuts.  We can make another trillion or trillion-two, and what we then do is ask for the wealthy to pay a little bit more.  (Applause.)  And, by the way, we’ve tried that before -- a guy named Bill Clinton did it.  We created 23 million new jobs, turned a deficit into a surplus, and rich people did just fine.  We created a lot of millionaires.

     There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back.  They know they didn’t -- look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own.  You didn’t get there on your own.  I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart.  There are a lot of smart people out there.  It must be because I worked harder than everybody else.  Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.  (Applause.)

     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.

So Obama is going to "stand behind" these small businesses while waiting for them to "give something back", as if they are not already paying taxes?  Sounds like he intends to pick their pockets.

MEANWHILE, OVER AT THE NEWS OUTLET FORMERLY KNOWN AS MSNBC:

I thought he meant standing behind the small business owner and telling him to . . . lean forward.

Of course I am stealing that.

"...The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African-Americans - to be established by Executive Order. "

Ask him what he thinks about that. What about his Cherokee constituents? or Irish-American constituents? or his White-Latino constituents? Is that fair to them?

How does he feel about people that eat dogs?

Looks like part of BO's continuing effort to denigrate achievment and excellence..Have enough people noticed the govt's giant fists on the scale of medical schools and programs in Obamacare yet?

Wou;d you rather be treated by a Chinese American kid with an earned 4 pt average in medical school or someone with a 1.2 who was given preference by this benighted act and HHS?

Ouch I wouldn't want Janet as an interrogator.

Jane-

Ask him about sales taxes on internet purchases. But I think Janet covered the bases.

And over at memorandum, Politico has flagged up, "Obama has no patience for 'you didn't build that' attacks". LOL, why do I have an image of Marvin the Martian saying "this is making me very, very angry".

Jane-

Ask him to please define what offends him and why. Then ask him what he is for. The hypocrisy will leap forth from his own mouth.

You just have to help him over the bridges of logic, which will be self-evident to you. His maze will be of his own construction. Just don't make him look too stupid, that really, really ticks 'em off.

Much fun, I'm sure.

[DrJ]

Politico has flagged up, "Obama has no patience for 'you didn't build that' attacks".

So what? Does he get to pick and choose what is acceptable to discuss? Is Mitt allowed to say that he has no patience for insipid requests for his tax returns?

Jane,

Make sure you order in a snack from Chick-Fil-A. Ask him if he attended Barney's "wedding" or visited his brothel in DC.

Quick everybody, start taking drugs, cheat on your spouse, buy alcohol for your kids, gamble away their inheritance, and fall into poverty. Then your son can be elected president Otherwise he will suffer the shame of living a fine, good life of achievement like Mitt Romney and not be able to get elected president since America only wants to elect a guy with a dysfunctional past apparently.

[Danube of Thought]

Good Lord. I posted that bit about the Glenn Campbell concert because I had misread Sara,'s preceding post. I thought she was describing Campbell, not Beck, on O'Reilly.

At least now I know not to watch.

[MarkO]

Jane, because Obama said he should not be reelected if the economy were not vastly improved, how can he support Obama or anyone who wants to stick with the failed experiment.

[Barack the Dogeater]

Here is the link to the artice: Let this bit roll around for a while:

“I have to tell you, I generally have patience with what the other side says about me, that’s a requirement of this job,” Obama said during a $5,000-per-plate fundraiser here, according to the pool report.

“And if you don’t like folks talking about you, you probably shouldn’t run for president. The one thing I do have no patience for is this argument that somehow what I’m criticizing is success… I want to promote success," Obama said.

[rse]

DOT-I enjoyed your post on Campbell. It was a reminder that music is a different part of brain once it is a reflex. Also the point loved ones always make about not remembering recent or middle but earlier remains. Anyone who ever heard that man sing would appreciate it ran to his marrow from an early age.

[Threadkiller]

Show him the banned picture and ask him if "it" moved.

[GMax]

Any of our Navy Veteran, take a look at the bio in Clarice's link and tell me if the promotions in the Navy are way different than the Army? Cuz the guy did 9 years and retired as a lieutenant? Something looks wrong to me about that.

And for the Air Force guys, my pilot friends who fly for American used to tell me dismissively that navigators were not pilots. Sure enough Obama guy is a navigator.

How lame to stage a chance meeting, and have the guys bios in their hand. Why that takes as much gullibility as listening to the pitzer putz lie about his identity...

[rse]

No he does not want to promote success unless it's attributable to your political connections.

"If you like it, you can keep it, if you pay the right people for requested favors" seems to be the operating message.

[Threadkiller]

Ask him if he believes the ears should be off-limits.

[Captain Hate]

Jane, ask him what he thought of the occupoopers.

On Glenn Campbell, more than a few of my musical buds have told me he's an incredibly accomplished guitarist. I hadn't realized that since I knew him primarily as a singer and songwriter; very good at both of those.

[Captain Hate]

Jane ask him if Bammycare is so great, why do all the wired-in people get waivers for it.

[Threadkiller]

Ask him if Joe Arpaio is a crooked cop.

That Headwinds ad is good, Clarice.

Ol' O has a head full of wind. That's for sure.

Make sure you order in a snack from Chick-Fil-A. Ask him if he attended Barney's "wedding" or visited his brothel in DC.

Hah! ...or can he identify a marijuana leaf? Barney can't.
Ask if he has ever taken Ambien.

[Clarice]

Does he agree with Warren that successful business men owe it all to government expenditures on roads and bridges?

If successful businessmen are successful because of their hard work, how much should they be expected to fork over in taxes?
If they owe it to bridges and roads aren't you saying that you are entitled to all their earnings?

Depends. Barry would put it in drive to run it over the precipice but Mitt might make me ride home on the roof.

As much as Hannity triggers my gag reflex, he has one question that is effective.
