...of course it does. beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 01/09/2012 08:31:37 PM
Various Republicans are going around saying, "Oh, Obama says that you didn't build your own business! Even if you own a successful company, you didn't build that! He doesn't think your hard work matters!"

Which is not what he said at all. He was talking about infrastructure. Like, this isn't even a matter of opinion- the sentence he said before it literally talks about roads and bridges.


Out of context, it sounds like he's saying the government is solely responsible for any success.

In context, he's saying the government's role is to provide solid infrastructure and assistance, so that businesses can grow.
I amuse myself.
