they all know what he said and context doesn't change it *NM* random thoughts Send a noteboard - 01/09/2012 07:11:01 PM
That line that's constantly replayed- "You got a business? You didn't build that!"

The sentence immediately before that sentence, which is never shown, has Obama talking about roads and bridges and infrastructure.

The point of that speech was that it's important to invest in infrastructure, and education, because they create an environment that allows businesses to thrive.

So watching the GOP base the entire theme of their convention on this weird, smug theme of "We Built This!" just comes off as... dumb.
