PICKET:(VIDEO) Obama - 'If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen
By Kerry Picket
President Barack Obama addressed supporters in Roanoke, Virginia on Saturday afternoon and took a shot at the business community. President Obama dismissed any credit business owners give themselves for their success:

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.

The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.

    I think Obama sucks. Hundreds of millions of Americans agree with me. He no more has a chance at being re-elected than the man in the moon. Obama knows it.

    In the interim, I believe there are plans afoot to cause major civil unrest in the USA before the election, therefore causing BHO to declare martial law and thereby cancelling the election in lieu of losing to his opponent in a historic, epic landslide defeat.

    Don't doubt me.

    This President's Marxist upbringing real comes forth in his speeches.
    I don't think our problem is with the productive segment of our society.

    Our large deficit is due to entitlements.
    It's not the rich cashing those entitlement checks.

    What about the Spanish company that Obama gave the contract to count votes?
    I am amazed that nobody is up in arms about this.

    well actually, that sort of makes sense. you can start a business, but the only way to keep it going is if you have someone else to spend money

    He is a statist retard.
    Sadly, he's also the most powerful statist retard in America, and he has lots of help.
    Is it November yet?
    HELP!!!
