Yikes!

Obama keeps talking like this, and he's losing my vote.

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.
Spoken like someone who's never built anything of value in his life. I suppose the lesson here is...what?...don't bother building anything because even if you do, you didn't? Ummm...I'm confused. On some level, I get what he is trying to say, that it takes a village and we are standing on the shoulders of giants and all those other cliches. But perhaps, and this might be the problem with professional politicians, is that having not built anything themselves other than their own image, they do not understand what it means to have created something from nothing and feel no guilt and shame from taking money from productive activities and spreading it around however they see fit.

Some might try to point out that Obama was clumsily trying to say something along the lines of "if you own a business, you didn't build the roads and bridges that help your business." But they would be wrong, because this quote clearly shows the veil dropping to reveal Obama's communist agenda.
