build dat
you didn't build that. i try not to pay too much attention to politics. but i noticed this quote. it was attributed to obama re businesses. the implication is that obama told business owners they didn't build their own businesses. which pretty much set off my bullshit meter. ie someone's trying (and failing) to make political hay from a quote out of context. i kinda wondered about the actual context of the quote. but not enough to check. i happened upon the context at random recently. every business leverages off of things built with government tax dollars. like roads, runways, power lines, sewer lines, etc. the list of things any one business depends on that were built by the government's hand is really really long. saying you didn't build that isn't a very good way of putting it. especially for someone who's supposed to be such a great orator.
