Mitt Romney got a gift from the political gods last Friday night when President Obama made his now infamous "You didn't build that" speech in Virginia. The Romney camp didn't waste much time using the President's remarks to galvanize their campaign around the fact that President Obama seems to think that the government makes business happen.
In all fairness to Obama, it sounded like he was talking about the bridges and roads when he said "you didn't build that" but the comment was ambiguous enough to be taken either way. In any event, it is political gold for Mitt Romney who can now paint the president as anti-business and out of touch with what makes America great.

Mitt Romney's campaign kept up the drumbeat of criticism Thursday over President Obama's you didn't build that gaffe, releasing a scathing web ad in which a New Hampshire business owner says: President Obama, you're killing us out here.

He is starting to look really, really strong, and focus in on the ISSUES and not th eside shows obama is presenting.
Federal/State income taxes pay for the majority of government services and it is the bottom 50% that pay no income tax who get a free ride.
Be Free America! Vote November 6, 2012!
Ignore abortion as established law, ignore healthcare-he can fix it later-but GO BALLS OUT on obamas NON EXISTENT records, lack of voting record, the DISMAL economy, bleaker jobs outlook and the debt.
Romney wasn't my first choice for the Republican presidential nominee, but he is really starting to grow on me.
Out of context? You cannot possibly take what he said out of context.
In fact sharing only clips from his speech is a kindness, as the full speech is even more atrocious than the clips.
Once again, Obama has thrown American citizens under the bus in the name of winning the Presidential Election.
Romney-getting hotter by the day,. WOOT!!!!
Yeah you can. Romney did in his ad, and there are tons of blogs and polls on Sodahead right now with far right extremists gleefully lying their a$$es off by taking it out of context.
What precisely is so "atrocious" about the full comments Obama made? You find the American ideal of excellence and providing a quality, reliable infrastructure on which businesses can build to be "atrocious"?
Oddly, it seems that this is precisely the stance of today's right wing extremists. You deem it "atrocious" that Obama referenced how a good teacher can help educate tomorrow's successful business owners, but we now know that Texas Republicans oppose "Higher Order Thinking Skills, critical thinking skills and similar programs" in schools. So education is clearly not valued by Republicans, making your feelings of offense consistent with theirs. http://www.washingtonpost.com...
You deem it "atrocious" that Obama referenced the usefulness of decent roads and bridges, but we now know that Republicans have been busy blocking multiple Acts and programs that aimed, at least in part, to put construction workers back to work updating America's infrastructure. So it would seem you're consistent there too. http://www.govtrack.us/congre...

The big question is why you might be so offended by a quality education and a reliable, up-to-date infrastructure?
"We oppose any sex education other than abstinence until marriage."
and...
"We support school subjects with emphasis on the Judeo-Christian principles upon which America was founded and which form the basis of America’s legal, political and economic systems."
and of course are trying to inject intelligent design and anti-climate change concepts into science classes by stating...
"We support objective teaching and equal treatment of all sides of scientific theories. We believe theories such as life origins and environmental change should be taught as challengeable scientific theories subject to change as new data is produced."
I own my own business and I didn't do it by myself! If it were not for the infrastructure from the roads to my building to the power-grid that allow me to operate, I wouldn't have much of a business. Not to mention my advanced accounting professor who really hands on worked with me and taught many things I used in the success of my business and career still to this day. The nut in a shell for those who're just too obtuse to understand it is that America is a success because of our ability and to come together and be our brothers/sisters keeper and have each others back.
But right-wingers reject that philosophy in lieu of Ayn Rand's "it's all about self and screw any and everyone else" philosophy.
