Iowans’ Message to Obungle: ‘We Did Build This’

[Sgt Staples]

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — President Obama received a less than warm welcome and a warning upon arrival at the airport here on the second stop of his Iowa visit, which was aimed at recapturing some of the magic the state gave his run to the White House in 2008.

Greeting Air Force One as it touched down under sunny skies and sultry heat was a hand-painted banner draped across the top of an airplane hangar that reads, “Obama SUX – We Did Build This.” “SUX” is the airport code for Sioux City.

I can't believe you righties continuing that meme taken completely out of context. If you think he was talking about not building a business, you are fooling yourself and haven't listened in context. "That" as in "you didn't build that" obviously refers to roads and bridges, not the way the right continues to misrepresent the quote. Here is the full 56 second video, where you can hear it for yourself.

I see. Obungle really said that the roads and bridges built the business, not the people who built the businesses. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, what a dolt.

Yep, and those same roads and bridges made people drive drunk too!

God save us from Obungle supporters, there's no intelligent life amongst them.

 

[TwoWitnesses]

No, its you who show no intelligent life. If you watched the 56 second video, you can't deny that it was taken out of context. If you still do, my first statement stands.

He is saying the BUSINESSMAN didn't build roads and brideges, which is absolutely true.

What Obama said:

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. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

Amazing Obungle supporters continue to defend the dunce they put in the White House.

There really ISN'T any hope for them.

Context, No Context the guy is a dolt. It's worse when you hear the whole stupid remark.

and assuming the RW retards need more explanation Obama added right after the word "Internet":

The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.-

LeRoy: Suggested reading for Republicans: From the July 2012 issue of Scientific American, the cover article on "The Evolution of Cooperation", with the subtitle "Competition is not the only force that shaped life on earth". On the page leading into the article it says: "Why We Help: Far from being a nagging exception to the rule of evolution, cooperation has been one of its primary architects".

Republicans almost universally think of the economy as being a dog-eat-dog world. It's an every man for himself, nature red in tooth and claw vision of how our economic system works. But it's not like that at all. Humans became the dominant species on this planet because we COOPERATE more than any other species, not because we compete more. [And we DO compete more than any other species, but that is not the primary reason for our success.]

It is very odd that Republicans hold such a Darwinian view of our economy---it's SOCIAL DARWINISM, actually---and yet oppose the teaching of biological Darwinism. It's a paradox. It reveals massive cognitive dissonance on the part of Republicans. But it is what it is.

I see it this way. I live in the UNITED States...whose stated goal is to form a more perfect UNION...with a quite Christian concept of the greater good being distilled into concern for the general welfare.

Clearly, others see something different.
