If, as a student, you came home with a straight-A report card, or even a B or B+, would your parents say "You didn't do that"?

Nope. My parents would give encouragement for a better grade and tell me that I did a good job - you earned that grade.

No matter what a child comes home with, if he/she has done their best...then that is their best.....Praise them always.....for the best they can do!

Lol, I went fishing the other day and caught some nice Calico Bass, but the world according to OBlunder feels I didn't actually catch them! Makes me wonder what it was I cooked and ate??

Obama is an ever developing idiot.

It's not uncommon for me to get A*'s or A's. My intellect did it.

and he would argue that YOU didn't get that yourself...Your parents and their parents, and their parents, and their parents are responsible for passing on the gene that made you so smart......the man doesn't know how to give credit where credit is due...sick, sad man

No need for that tone, neither of my parents are as intelligent as I am, and they would never had got as high grades as I do. Same with my grandparents and great grandparents, so it clearly didn't come from there.

He's just pissed because he wanted to claim he got Bin Laden..when the fact is..
HE DIDN'T GET HIM......the Navy Seals did....but ohhh...he wanted to take full credit for that, didn't he.

Funny how Democrats like to try and have it both ways...

No, my parents were humans.

well thats how the school system is now... kids dont have to do anything to get an A

I say great comparison Wicked! As we all can see once again liberals are self centered as well as short sighted. ABO!

Lets rake Romneys school record as an example:

He was a wealthy kid from an elitist family that could afford the best private tutors and private schools and universities and his fathers money and influence was used by Romney to start Bain capital.

So did he do it himself ?

no, his parents enabled him to get a good education...however, if he had been a public school student, he would probably have turned out just as smart..either you have it, or you don't. either you have the drive, or you don't,. either you want to become the best you can be, or you don't..Take your pick. He was fortunate to have parents who sent him to a school where he learned, instead of wasted the taxpayers money ..and sat there like a vegetable in the classroom. You make it sound like a crime to be rich, and to be able to afford the best for your kid...who wouldn't want that? You sound jealous.

Exactly and his father got his fortune working for FORD which took many government backed loans and subsidies so who actually made Romneys life possible ?

WE THE PEOPLE!

Romney made his own life. just like you've made yours, and i've made mine. Maybe you're thankful to government for yours, but it had nothing what so ever to do with mine...Romney is a politician...he's worked towards it, been successful, and deserves acknowledgement of it....not to be bowing down to government, or anyone else for his success.

No Romeny bought his life just like all wealthy do!

no Romney made his own life....sorry you are so jealous of the blessed people who happen to have had the resources to put him through school when he was a child...He earned his own grades, he didn't buy them with money...He worked as a successful businessman, he didn't have what he created handed to him...You are one jealous, selfish person if you think he bought his life.

jealous- hahalolhalol!

Apparently his parents bought him a substitute student to make his grades for him, much like Bush beating the slightly stupider french looking John F'n Kash N Kerry the left's favorite traitor, but poor Kerry didn't have a wife's money to "buy" his own grades.....JF Kash N Karry too stupid to get there on his own "with the help of the roads we built".

"Obama Top Bundler Ran Bain Capital During GST Steel Layoffs
The Obama campaign has been blaming Mitt Romney for the failure of the GST Steel Company in 2001, conveniently ignoring the fact that Mitt Romney left Bain Capital, which had taken over GST, in 1999. This in itself is a dishonest attack, which will surprise no one, but it gets even more egregious when coupled with this salient fact: one of Barack Obama’s top bundlers, Jonathan Lavine, managing director at Bain, who has bundled between $100,000 and $200,000 in contributions for the 2012 Obama Victory Fund, was one of the guys running Bain when GST went belly-up...."

Gee apparently he didn't do everything at Bain without help "either"

Romney said businesses didn't build themselves (video)

Nobody would say Romney did it "all by himself', but the only one who would say "he didn't do it" is O-Vomit.

That is ridiculous- any intelligent person knows the wealthy have benefited most from our government and economic system!

And they would be right. "I" didn't do that. The fact that I had parents who loved and cared for me helped me do that. The fact that I have friends that don't push sex, drugs or alcohol on me helped me do that. The fact that my teachers watch out for me and help me stay out of bad influences helped me do that.

Yes I started the process by WANTING to do that, but I am blessed and praise the Lord everyday that I have been privileged enough to stay on that path without many of the circumstances of dysfunctional families, abuse, disease or hunger that plague many in my school.

right...Ovomit wants a nanny state where EVERYONE id dependent on the government so that all the people will bow down and be GRATEFUL for their lives...BULLCRAP..Give freeking credit where credit is
DUE

I will say that Obama was partially right. We do need to give thanks for the fortune we are bestowed in Life, but certainly that thanks is not due to the Government, but to a Higher power.

Unfortunately, for many libs/progs, the government IS THEIR HIGHER POWER, which I find rather sad.

We the people built this country, not the government, so you can thank the people of our country who work tirelessly to maintain your personal freedoms to make the choice to Thank G_d or be chained to a person who want's to make the Government your god.

amen

But in the end it is you how make the choices of what you will and won't do, and you are responsible for those choices, if you chose to rob a store you would go to jail, not your parents, teachers or friends.

No need to say more

I wonder if Obama remembered the story on the girl who was ridiculed in front of class with a dummy award....the "teacher" put so much time and energy into making! and there are alot of her kind 'teaching'? our kids?

Well God bless those teachers'.....Obama sits in the corner counting how many votes that will get him....

Actually, I think you're referring to the "Catastrophy Award", which I thought seemed in good humor, and I think the mom was hoping to be "bought-off" by the school, or receive a court award. I think the mom tried to claim "victimhood" for her daughter, which was way overblown. That IS the one you were talking about, yes?
I believe Obama's administration encourages this kind of thinking. Everyone's a victim of some kind, and we all need to hire attorneys and seek compensation. Not!

OMG!!

As usual the right takes things out of context. As the President of the United States, I don't think he would want anyone taking that accomplishment from him. But there is not a person on this earth who has not had a helping hand from someone at sometime. It does not mean you should not be proud of your accomplishments and strive to be the best that you can be, but there is nothing wrong with helping others along the way and realizing that you did not get where you are in a vacuum. There are a great many things that help us to reach our goals along the way. Of course some of us are more talented than others and some will reach greater heights of success. That does not mean that others are not working hard. And a lot of times those people doing the hard work behind the scenes make the successes of others possible. We should value all hard work and understand that many times the hardest jobs being done are the ones you never hear about. In order to bring this economy back we have to realize the value of all work and not just the few that manage to make it into the millionaire club. We all want a chance to succeed, but being humble enough realize that you did not rise to success in a vacuum is hardly something to criticize.

Actually they would have, they never gave me credit for anything till years later after I became self made...

Then they wanted to take credit for it.
