It really disheartens me that at least 40% of Americans still support this clown in any poll taken.

This from the person labeled as articulate? Besides gobbledegook the wording was so disjointed one could not ascertain where he was going. Using the same rhetoric of Warren (MA) surely isn't a winning strategy. There is also a distinct level of dishonesty with these assertions - basically implies that the government services / infrastructure came first. Roads etc. developed AFTER businesses because the community realized the need for better transportation of goods that benefited the community because of the industry there. This is not a chicken and egg scenario - businesses came first. And this statement about the Internet:

Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

Pure BS - the Internet came about initially as a research tool to share information. Only after private industry was able to to build the networks did we see the explosion of free market ideals. The governmental aspect was quite limited and never envisioned what we see today. Yes, give credit to the initial research but don't lie about the purpose.

)One more item - the government infrastructure comes from the people via taxes or printing. The government didn't build the infrastructure nor did they create the business. We the people - period.

It really does show how people are stubborn and will just vote for the party and not the individual since Obama has done nothing to said anything that can really make one truly believe is some advanced intellectual. With him spending the money to have records sealed, including his college transcripts and finances, one can clearly see why he would do that. But even if his average at best college career came out publicly, his supporters, especially the ones in the media, would still find a way to ignore it and still believe their fairy tales about him.

This is not new. Obama talks about the government programs that made America great.

I continue to be astounded at the number of people who want this rube to be their Dear Leader for another 4 years...............I still say 60% of the U.S. population are just plain stupid.

Some of it is envy in that Obama never had the guts or smarts to start or run a business, so he's rather believe they all had help and just lucky.

Make it 80%.

How many Americans can name all of the American Idol contestants, but can't name the Speaker of the House or the Senate Majority Leader?

Look at it this way:

50% of the people are below average intelligence.

A portion of the 50% rated as "above average"are lacking in common sense (no quantifiable number to quote)

A portion of the above "average intelligence" people lack meaningful, real life experience.

Add to that, an 18 year old still living at home (probably in the basement) still in the hormonal stage, maybe never having a job or to fend for his/herself and probably still more enamored with the Kad-arse-ians or DancingwithAmericanIdolStars has the right to vote, and that vote counts just as much as the vote of the person who has worked for 40 years paying taxes and building up a business employing X other people, it's a wonder we function at all.

No, simply the Marxism rising to the surface. I mean, this speech puts Obama to the left of Komrade BUngaro. If you didn't build your business, as Obama claims, then there is nothing wrong, according to his Marxist viewpoint, in taking it or destroying it before your very eyes. Kind of like the woman in England looting a furniture store saying she deserved it because she was "oppressed"! Of the Occupy Movement demanding "free everything" at the expense of the general public.

To which I say... "Who is John Galt?" What is the point if the Government is going to take everything?

"He didn't invent iron ore and blast furnaces did he?"
"Who"
"Rearden. He didn't invent smelting and chemistry and air compression. He couldn't have invented his Metal but for thousands and thousands of other people. His Metal! Why does he think it's his? Why does he think it's his invention? Everybody uses the work of everybody else. Nobody ever invents anything."
"But the iron ore all those other things were there all the time. Why didn't anybody else make that Metal, but Readen did?"

Is this really fiction or prophesy? Far too many similarities to simply discount as fiction.

The Five- Because of Obama's statement saying "you didn't create that business on your own" ,and his clear belief government makes America great, have created a great national debate on the underpinnings of our nation. Obama has defined this election when saying private sector is "doing fine." In sounding like a chapter of Das Kapital. Romney seems to be rising to the occasion. He may not be a movement conservative, but his belief in free enterprise is on display.

His belief in free enterprise is what is under attack. His time at Bain Capital and his free enterprise roots are about the only strengths Romney has. Destroy EVERYTHING related to those strengths and you win. That's what this is all about.

My thoughts exactly! Hard work and intelligence is of no consequence? Why work hard? Why get an education? Obama sure takes credit for good things that happen that he had little to do with.

[David]

Spot on. Krauthammer says, "you didn't build that" more than a gaffe. Gaffe of the year.

As I read through Mises Human Action, I'm further reminded that this is really the thinking found in Marx's Das Kapital and proletariat logic.

Incredible thought process. Don't even want to try and decipher the idiocy.
