Maybe Obama did learn one thing from Atlas Shrugged (p. 246, pb).


James Taggart: "He didn't invent iron ore and blast furnaces, did he?
Cheryl Brooks: "Who?"
James Taggart: "Rearden. He didn't invent smelting and chemistry and air compression. He couldn't have invented his Metal but for thousands and thousand of other people. His Metal! Why does he think it is his? Why does he think it's his invention? Everybody uses the work of everybody else. Nobody ever invents anything."

When he tries to push his net neutrality bill through he should be reminded :

"You didn't build that!!"

Jules:

 

Here is the real definition of 'Obama Didn't Build That!'

I hope Canada does it.

 

We will call it 'The Other Thing Obama Neither Built Nor Stopped From Being Built.'

Fred

Yes I think there is a very high probability that Canada will be telling Obama to go fuck himself.  I know as an Albertan Oilfield worker that many of us view him as an adversarial enemy of Canadians to the point where we would if we could start shutting of all of our resources including hydro electric to California just out of spite.  With allies like him who the hell needs enemies?  

 

"When the people who are the producers need to ask permission from those who produce nothing, that society is doomed."  How prophetic.

I have no love for Obama, but we don't need to quote out of context. That is a tactic for those without arguments and reason on their side. If you listen to the speech in context, he meant you didn't build the roads and bridges.

 

"Somebody invested in roads and bridges, if you've got a business, you didn't build that (the roads and bridges)."

That is a very specious interpretation of what Obama's "that" meant. Here is a more complete quote:

 

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. (Link.)

 

Moreover, the latter quote does not run two sentences together like the first one does.

No, we don't need to quote him out of context.

 

 

All we need to to is go back to his 'Chairman of the Choom Gang' days and checkout his embarrassingly hidden college transcript with all the Marxist basket weaving courses.

 

Hey, never mind that he's been Golden Passed his way through Disneyland for most of his adult life; acording to him, he's the smartest guy in a roomful of Ivy Leaguers; of course he's just being modest about his college transcripts.

 

Sure he is.

 

That's his story, and he's sticking to it.

 

Whereas, I'm convinced it is filled with the (all too common) left wing nonsense, and that is why he's hiding his little passport to Utopia.

 

When he finally publicly ponies it up and shows us not only grades, but what he studied,  I'll be glad to say I was wrong, if I am wrong.

 

Until then, he is exactly who he seems to be.

 

That Guy.   And we all remember That Guy.   Every campus has a few of them.  They get pumped out with alarming regularity from those Disneylands of Pure Subsidy.

 

My youngest son has been working since July; he has more working business experience than Barack Obama and Karl Marx combined.

 

Although, combined they apparently are.

 

regards,

Fred

Cum laude or Magna cum laude?  Under what Policy at HLS in 1991?

 

 

 

For what?  Community Organizing 101? Why is he politically hiding his tr anscripts?  Because they are packed with lightweight Marxist studies dross.

 

 

The guys been Golden Passed his entire life.

 

 

 

 Can anyone explain the actual basis for his Nobel Peace Prize?

 

 

I'm not in awe of lawyers, especially not Ivy League lawyers ,   especially not Harvard lawyers.  The Ivy League is packed with idiot dweebs who think their shit doesn't stink.  Years of inbreeding has resulted in an unmistakable horse faced assholish streak that is hard to avoid at these Disney lands of pure subsidy.

 

Other than that I have no comment on Bigfoot and or rumors of his top 10%?  50%?? 75%?? Showing while weaving Marxist baskets and getting Golden Passed as part of affirmative action at Harvard of all liberal enclaves in the workd.
