Is This Idiot (Obama) For Real?

Obama recently said that no American businessman can take credit for their success in life.  Sorry, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Lance Armstrong, and Jon Huntsman Sr., government gets the credit for your success.  You didn't build your empires, government did -- at least according to Supreme Overlord Obama.  

No, this garbage is not a joke.  Its the state of the Union if you haven't been paying attention.  In as serious a tone as any Obama recently stated, "If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that.  Somebody else made that happen."   And just when you think he couldn't say anything more stupid than that he insulted all entrepreneurial success with the worst analogy ever used by a sitting president.  He said, "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.

Wow.  Who does this moron think he is kidding?  Who is the audience that is stupid enough to lap up this garbage?

Obama's statements opposing self-reliance show just how far off the deep end of stupidity he has gone.  Very few successful businessmen owe their success to government.  Frankly, I can't think of anyone that succeeded in their chosen field as a result of someone else's hard work.  Yes, they had employees, advisers, investors, etc., but to claim that they succeeded because of those other people is ludicrous.  The real formula is quite simple.  Successful people succeeded because THEY WORKED REALLY HARD.

I guess the sarcastic takeaway here is that no matter how hard you worked, no matter how long you struggled, no matter how much of your hard-earned money you spent to afford government taxes and to adhere to oppressive government regulations, you simply did not succeed on your own. You have government to thank for your success, not to curse for the numerous barriers it puts in your path.

After the sarcasm wears off there is really only one good response.  Sorry, Obama.  Once again you are full of it.

On an unrelated note, I am starting my own fire service so if anyone needs me to put out a fire for them please email me right away.
