(Juvenile list of choices, but it's wrong to expect better from a libby.)
Nice try, but 0bama's speech was most certainly NOT a "no man is an island" theme. It was a disgusting derisive sneer at hard-working people.
"You think you're so smart? No you're not."
"You think YOU'RE a success? No you're not, I did that for you."
"There are lots of smart people. Any one of them could be in your place if I so chose it."
"I built the roads. You've done NOTHING."
If you libby's don't like this, why don't you get rid of the SBA, and all the government programs?
But you libby's don't want that. Because THEN we'll REALLY find out who creates the wealth in this country!

Today, the Romney campaign is hosting an entire series of campaign events based on President Obama’s misinterpreted comment about small businesses. While Obama’s full speech made a “no man is an island” argument, the Romney campaign has seized on the quote, “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that” as evidence of Obama’s disdain for small business owners.
However...
Ball Office Products hosted the “We Did Build This” event in Richmond, Virginia. The company received a loan of $635,000 through the Small Business Administration in 2012, according to USASpending.gov. The company was also awarded a lucrative $52,525 contract with the General Services Administration just a year after its founding.
Midwest Tape, a media distributor of Holland, Ohio, was showcased at a local event and has been contracted by the Department of Defense since 2008, earning a cumulative $13,659.
Columbus Truck and Equipment was featured in a neighboring event and has received $6,643 in contracts with the Department of Defense.
Cranston Material Handling Equipment Corporation, the owner of which spoke Wednesday morning at a campaign event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has reaped a total of $61,729 in contracts with the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs since 2007.
Systems Engineering Co.The owner of Systems Engineering has received a total of $180,200 in DOD contracts, as recently as last year.
Brady Industries in Las Vegas has received $54,425 in contracts with Veterans Affairs since 2009.
Pennsylvania business PRL Industries Inc. received a $167,847 contract through the Department of Homeland Security for ship and boat propulsion components for the U.S. Coast Guard in August 2008. Janis Herschkowitz, who spoke on behalf of PRL, Inc. used to be a director of the National Consumer Cooperative Bank, which, defined in Herschkowitz’ own words, was created by Congress “to meet personal, social or business needs, especially in low- and moderate-income communities by forming cooperatives.”
Damn...that's a lot of government funding contradicting Romney's claim that these businesses "made it on their own." Don't you love it when Romney makes a complete ass of himself?

Now pay attention:
The government has absolutely NOTHING to give anyone until government confiscates it from the private sector. Anything you socialist claim the government provided, came from the citizens to start with.
Obama's comment about small business wasn't misinterpreted, it was loud and clear, and insulting. Government contracts have nothing to do with building the business, the business will work for whomever want's it's products or services. If allowed a SBA loan, the fact is the business paid into the system that offers the loans, and they are paid back with interest just as a private loan from a bank would be, the government doesn't build the business, the owners do.
Government can not survive without the private sector, and small businesses paying taxes.
I love it. ;)
Commerce and trade has existed since the beginning of time. While there were no fancy regulations and taxes born with the early commerce, I'm sure the participants in the early market got along just fine without the government intervention.
Government on the other hand can't exist without business. Without the exchange of goods, there is no income and thus nothing for the government to leech taxes from for it's own sustainance.
Your comment is like saying man couldn't exist without fleas. Foolish.
