President Obama, in a speech to supporters, suggested business owners owe their success to government investment in infrastructure and other projects — saying “if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.”
Obama’s comment Friday during a campaign stop in Roanoke, Va., came just days after he urged Congress to extend tax cuts enacted during the Bush administration only to families earning less than $250,000 annually — part of his argument that top earners have an obligation to pay more to trim the deficit.

Great article on another topic our POTUS speaks on but does not have a clue.
Business is the backbone of this country. PLEASE DONT TALK ABOUT CAPITALISM IS YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN PART OF CAPITALISM.
If he would simply tell the truth 5% of the time, I would have reason to feel sorry for him. But the absence of truth 100% of the time does not leave the door open to wanting anything decent coming from this administration.
This is total bullshit and part of the smokescreen this administration is so very good at!
